WILLOW HOUSE - YORK [120]




Monday 25th May – Friday 29th May 2009

Situated just off York’s northern ring road, the A1237, this site is ideally situated for travelling to all attractions near this popular city. The C/L is part of a larger touring park which has pitches for tenting and has a large lake were fishing is available. There is a farm shop on site which sells local and home produce at reasonable prices, and has an adjoining cafeteria. The meat from the butchery department was in a class of its own. The reception area is past the c/l but there is room to turn around. This approach would be easier for larger units as the entrance is a little tight for vehicles with a large rear overhang. The reception doubles as an information room and all the showers and toilets are situated in this building. The pitches are arranged so you can either stand your caravan on a hardstanding or use it to put your awning on.

A bus stops outside the entrance drive with regular services into York centre. The large shopping complex of Clifton Moor with a supermarket is on the nearby ring road, but do try the farm shop, you wont be disappointed. There are hundreds of things to do in and around York so you shouldn’t be stuck for something to do irrespective of the weather.

The site fees were a little expensive for a C/L and the showers were 50p and on a timer. However everything was modern and clean and you get what you pay for. The site was busy during my stay so the prices didn’t deter members. Children are not allowed on site.
