Anyone know good sites that are within a couple of hours from leeds

Looking at having a long weekend away without kids, so wanting good food and drink within a short distance so we can both have drink without the worry of the getting back

Thinking maybe the lakes or dales, caravan site or CL

Lady Margaret's Park at Chirk, under two hours, very nice in the Autumn, will be checking it out again at the end of the month  p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior

What's it like for good food nearby? Looking towards the start of October Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Your on the edge of a small town, lots of choices of places to eat, stayed there a few times, always in the Autumn though, no reason just how it's happened  p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior

Cheers


Also Possibly thinking wharfedale site at Grassington , but think bit secluded for walking for a few drinks, but the Angel at Hetton isn't far away, and there's another good food place nearby too Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Still looking at options, as much as I like the Grassington area, I'm wondering what taxis would be like, about 10 mins drive to the angel at Hetton, but I can't see taxis been that available in the remote areas, and I'd have to wait ages to get them up from skip ton or something

So still open to option for fine dining and local sites  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Thats good to know, 10-20 minute wait isn't too bad when you time it right

I was going to go away and have a couple of nights in a hotel, but that was looking at £550

so i got thinking long weekend, £60 or something for site fees, leaving £400+ for a couple or so good meals, might get out walking and photographing so now looking at long weekend away with just me the misses and a cake with 40 candles on it

cheers for the link Philz thats a good start to finding something  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

There is a caravan club site on your doorstep - York

This is a fabulous site, park up, and walk into York - less than 5 min walk

Plenty for the kids to do in and around York, have a look at the pub on the river, very good... But does get flooded in the winter as you can see the water level marks on the pub wall.

Still, a great place to visit - York is one of my best sites to visit in Uk and is on par with Chester Fair Oaks

Happy camping me Lord! 'There is thunder' then 'There is the warble of a V8'
