Holidaymakers taking caravan tours of Yorkshire this summer will have even more space at Port Mulgrave, as the site has been given council permission to expand by 50 per cent. Five additional touring caravan pitches will be added to the site, the Whitby Gazette reports, after an application to the North York Moors National Park planning committee was approved.
Owner David Newton took over Port Mulgrave in 2003 and applied on behalf of the site, which has been a caravan holiday spot for around 50 years.
The site, which is open from March to October every year, currently has room for just ten caravans, so this marks a significant expansion.
Other caravan sites in the North Yorkshire region include Beechwood Grange, Hargill House and Rowntree Park, all of which are certified Caravan Club destinations.
Caravan lovers taking touring holidays in Whitby this summer can attend various cultural events such as Whitby Folk Week, which runs from August 22nd to 28th.
