Grassington Farm by Wigwam Holidays

At Grassington Farm, you’ll find yourself tucked away in a peaceful, rural setting that’s as welcoming as it is unpretentious, with cosy wooden glamping cabins (wigwams) scattered across a working Yorkshire Dales farm. This is self-catering at its simplest, letting you enjoy the rhythms of country life—think early morning birdsong, far-reaching views across valleys and fields, and the occasional sheep bleating from neighbouring pastures. The site is practical rather than posh, with shared bathroom facilities, communal cooking spaces, and a well-kept area for alfresco meals, making it ideal for families or groups after a fuss-free escape. For kids, there’s plenty of space to roam and a real sense of adventure just outside the door, while grown-ups can kick back and soak up the slow pace and big skies of Wharfedale.

For those who love the outdoors, Grassington is a walking paradise, with paths winding straight from the farm into the rolling dales and along the meandering River Wharfe. You can explore ancient woods like Grass Wood, where bluebells bloom in spring, or follow the Dales Way past historic hamlets, dramatic waterfalls at Linton, and the quirky Hebden Suspension Bridge—built from old mining cables. If you fancy something different, try a scramble on the limestone scars, uncover local mining history, or simply enjoy a pint in a cosy village pub. More adventurous types can tackle the moors for sweeping views, while gentler strolls take in meadows and quiet streams. There’s also cycling, wildlife spotting, and pretty villages to poke around in, making it easy to pack your days with as much or as little as you please.
