Driffield, East Riding Of Yorkshire, England
Wildlife haven on a traditional working farm in East Yorkshire A 20-minute drive from Bridlington, its beaches and an animal park Train station, pubs, chip shop and food shop within walking distance Longing for a little bit (or a lot) of wildlife in East Yorkshire? A 20-minute drive away from Bridlington’s beaches and animal park, Heapfield Farm has a sizable helping. From the small, family-run traditional working livestock farm, mix up the rather peaceful countryside with all the pleasures of the seaside (windsurfing, pottery-making or doggy paddling in the sea, anyone?) Veer away from the road and hide yourself away, as the farm is tucked away in a good wildlife zone with mowing and cutback kept to a minimum, all the better for happy animal visitors (see if you can spot them). When they’re available, you’ll also have good dibs on fresh eggs direct from the farm. Save some space in your stomach though… as this site is based on the outskirts of Nafferton village in Driffield, there are food shops, pubs (including a rather hipster gastropub) and a fish and chip chop under 20 minutes' walk away from the site. There's a train station here too, just a five-minute walk away (but not too bothersome on the ears when you're around site) if you'd like to whizz away to Scarborough or Hull. Once you’ve finished easing into the beach life or eyeing up the wildlife around the site, other facilities around the site include an Elsan point and an amenities block to refresh yourself. While Heapfield is happy to welcome families and dogs, please note that it is both a quiet site and a working farm, meaning dogs must be kept on a lead at all times. There are no specific play areas or child facilities, and for health and safety reasons children must be accompanied at all times.
