Holiday park in North Yorkshire with showers, close to York and the Howardian Hills.
About Oakwood Retreat Holiday Park
Oakwood Retreat Holiday Park is a small holiday park in North Yorkshire, south of York. The site has showers on the grounds. It sits on the edge of the Howardian Hills, one of the region's most scenic areas, with walking trails and countryside villages nearby. York itself is a short drive away, making it possible to spend a day exploring the medieval city walls, the Minster and the local museums before returning to the quieter setting of the park.
The area around Bull Balk is good for getting out on foot. Several country walks begin nearby, and the hills offer everything from leisurely strolls to longer rambles. The villages dotted through the Howardians are worth a visit too, most with their own pubs and local character. For those who prefer to stay put, the park is a base for a night or two rather than a destination in itself.
