JUST WONDERED IF ANYONE HAS HAD THE JOY OF CARAVANING AROUND SKIPTON/GRASSINGTON OR APPLE TREEWICK AREA,AND COULD YOU RECOMMEND A GOOD SITE IT MUST ACCEPT CHARLIE OUR CAVALIER SPANIEL OH AND THE WIFE LIKES CLEAN AMMENITIES IF POSS.CHEERS.

Have you looked on the  above, there are loads of sites listed , many with visitor reviews that should be able to give you a good idea.

Cheers  Ratty

the caravan club site at strid wood, bolton abbey is only about 8mls from skipton, it is set in a wood and has a lovely country lane drive up to it, they accept dogs and there is miles of wooded walks direct from the site (called strid wood) and also  along a river it is a lovely site, has clean facilities as you always get with caravan club, but you will be lucky to book it as it is so popular it gets booked up quickly, we loved it and went on many long walks.  down the road at bolton abbey itself there is a lovely picnic area and you can get cream teas etc, also a pub.

I'm thinking about a visit to Howgill Lodge near Bolton Abbey.  Not been before but the reviews look ok.

Close enough to Skipton and remote enough for a nice break!

Good Luck!

CC site at Wharfedale is also top notch and has wonderful dog walks straight off the site.

I have trouble getting onto strid wood because its always full, thinking of ringing caravan club and asking them to let me know when someone dies!!!

we had no problem getting onto Strid wood last year.

Mind you it was in November and we had ice on the inside of the windscreen!!

had a great time though. Skipton is a lovely town, as is Ilkley.
