Thirkleby Hall Caravan Park

You're nestled on the outskirts of two national parks here, meaning there are loads of places for walking, hiking and cycling. Stroll along parts of the Cleveland Way Trail and head to Sutton Bank or have a go at horse riding at Boltby Trekking Centre.

Those feeling particularly adventurous can try out gliding at the Yorkshire Gliding Club.

You'll find there's plenty to do in this area from scenic tours of some of the country's finest stately homes and gardens to a variety of theme parks to keep little ones entertained.
