Street Head Caravan Park, Bishopdale
Street Head Caravan Park is in an area justly famed for unspoilt natural beauty and is a haven for walkers of all ages and experience. Well signposted footpaths take you literally up hill and down dale, over remote hilltops and moorland or from village to village, often with least one welcoming pub at the beginning or end.
Our caravan park is also the perfect touring base for the Yorkshire Dales, Cumbria, The Lake District and for both the North East and North west coasts.
Street Head Caravan Park is a small, privately owned site, in the heart of Bishopdale, within the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Situated on the Aysgarth/Kettlewell Road only 1.5 miles from the beautifully impressive Aysgarth Falls and surrounded by peaceful grazing land the park affords magnificent views across the dale and to the fells beyond.
Such a genuinely rural location with unobscured scenery is a rare find these days when sites are often rigorously screened within the landscape and consequently have limited views for their visitors to enjoy.
