Discover the Yorkshire Wolds on your next caravan holiday

Yorkshire's Wolds Way is a popular route with walkers

Dedicated caravanners may already have spent some time exploring the stunning landscapes of Yorkshire.

But according to the BBC’s Countryfile magazine, most tourists head to the “rugged” hills of the Dales and the Moors and ignore the third, lesser-known area known as the Wolds.

Here, visitors will find a “soft crescent” of hills, as well as “secret” deep valleys and “astonishingly pretty” villages that could easily rival those found in the Cotswolds.

An article on the publication’s website pointed out the numerous activities and attractions on offer to tourists in the Yorkshire Wolds, including long-distance cycle routes and the popular Wolds Way for walkers.

In the market town of Beverley, there lies the Beverly Minster, which according to Countryfile “outshines York’s most famous equivalent by some distance”.

And where the Wolds comes to an “abrupt halt” at the coast east of Burton Agnes, the dramatic white cliffs rival any of those found on the south coast, the publication claims.

Caravanners will find plenty of touring accommodation throughout the Yorkshire Wolds, including Fosse Hill Caravan Park and Blue Rose Caravan Country Park in Brandesburton between Driffield and Beverley.
