We're off to Blackpool for the illuminations. C&CC rally at South Shore cricket club.

 

[Debs]

I was looking at that....Woodhall Spa is pretty & an interesting wander, might be slightly over an hour on a Friday especially.

Or the Peak District, Castleton maybe?

 

[Scout]

yep Woodhall spa CC &C site is a good choice or anywhere in Wold

Louth is good too?

 

[Debs]

Have you tried Clumber Park? Good if the weathers ok & you like walking

 

[Ralph-n-Bev]

We like misterton and west Stockwith.
Both about 10 miles from dn4 if it's the Balby Doncaster area?
The white Hart pub in west Stockwith does great ale. They have their own microbrewery on site. The foods cheap but good pub grub too. It's a regular weekend stop for us , with a campsite staggering distance away !

you can just about get to Hawes in one hour, one of my favourite places, but you are more or less stuck with the CC site, 1/2 mile from town with plenty of pub options, dog friendly virtually everywhere (if you have a dog)

No suggestions to add - as I don't know what sort of things interest you but just wanted to add my congrats on new job.

[parknride]

Was going to suggest Derbyshire but @Debs beat me to it. congrats on the new job anyway

 

[GAVLAD]

White House farm at Misterton - that's close to you isn't it?
It's a lovely site, nice pub and little shop in the village.

 

[Wickolad]

Also Haxey Quays at Misterton, opposite Haxey Gate Inn, site now has a number of hard standings and EHU. Pub directly across road, good food and also golf course and driving range. Fishing is also permitted on site, used to be free but think there may be a charge of £2/day now. Open all year round.

We are looking for somewhere to go in October and Hawes looks like a possibility. We are having a couple of days at Strathclyde Country Park and Hawes is only 150 miles away so an easy drive for us. Thanks for the suggestion

We stayed on Bembridge Ings, 5/10 min easy walk into Hawes. Lovely people running it, loo block a bit basic & it did seem to be in a bit of a windy spot, whereas the club site looked sheltered
Or there's the livestock market for o/nighting a la @Ralph-n-Bev

Yes the cattle market is good for a nights stop over . But you have to be a member of the caravan camping club and there's a charge £10, if I remember rightly. They have someone checking now too as people were abusing the Facility/spot. Not paying in the honesty box and leaving a mess. Always one , isn't there?
@HappyBrewer Yes the campsites open all year @weststockwith.

That's the one for you! Good suggestion.

You do need a decent bit of weather though.

Haven't been myself for a while, but I'll put that right as soon as I get the chance.

 

[Mr B]

In fact we did Barnard castle CC site quicker than going to hawes. Just a little further into the town.
Chatsworth is an hour from dn8
Rowntree at York 40 mins
That's when you can get on

Will allow a couple of hours though
