Same window, different view, every few weeks. Right now it's the first hint of gold coming through the trees — in a few weeks it'll be full autumn colour, then bare branches and frosty mornings, then spring green all over again. That's the thing about owning a lodge here: the view never gets old, it just changes with every visit. 🍁

Keep your eyes (and long lenses) peeled this month — early autumn is a great time for wildlife-watching in the Moors. Deer are more active as the weather cools, birds of prey circle over the open moorland, and if you're near the coast, it's worth watching the water too. Snap anything good? Tag us — we love a wildlife photo.

Three villages worth the short drive from Ladycross if you fancy exploring the Esk Valley:

🚂 Grosmont — home to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, with steam trains still puffing through the middle of the village.
🪨 Lealholm — famous for its stepping stones across the Esk, and a proper cup of tea by the riverbank.
🌳 Glaisdale — quieter and greener, with the historic Beggar's Bridge and some lovely woodland walking straight from the village.

None of them are more than a short hop from the park — perfect for a slow afternoon out. Which one's calling you? 👇

No mowing. No maintenance panic before a visit. No wondering what state you'll find it in after six weeks away. Owning a lodge at Ladycross means turning up, turning the heating on, and being outside within five minutes — that's it. If lock-up-and-leave living in the Moors sounds like your kind of second home, we'd love to show you around. 🔑

Fancy a day off cooking? Here are a few of our go-to spots for a bite out around the area — swipe through for our picks, and tell us yours in the comments 👇

🍽️ The Wheatsheaf, Egton — a proper village pub, five minutes from the park gate.
🐟 Fish Cottage — seafood restaurant, just a stone's throw from the beach
🍽️ The Postgate, Egton Bridge — cosy and welcoming, named after the village's own 17th-century martyr, Father Postgate.
🐟 Trenchers, Whitby — the one to go to when only proper fish & chips will do.
🥧 Homestead Kitchen, Goathland — a lovely stop if you're walking down to Mallyan Spout.
🍕 Pizza West, Whitby — casual, easy, good for the whole family.
🍺 Whitby Brewery — budget-friendly pizza and great b**r, straight from the source.

As the summer holidays wind down, a few of our seasonal families have already started asking about next year — so consider this your gentle nudge 😊 If you've had a good season with us and you're thinking about renewing your pitch for 2027, drop us a message or pop into the office for a chat. No pressure, no rush — just want to make sure your spot's held if you want it.

Dog walkers, this one's for you 🐾 Two of our favourite routes right from Egton's doorstep:

🌲 Goathland & Mallyan Spout (3 miles, ~1hr30) — a short, shady woodland walk down into the valley to a hidden waterfall, returning along part of the old Whitby–Pickering railway line. There are steps and a rocky stretch beside the beck, so keep dogs on the lead if they're not sure-footed.

🌄 Howdale Moor & Brow Moor (4 miles, ~2hr30) — big open heather moorland with huge views towards Ravenscar and Robin Hood's Bay, no stiles to climb, and plenty of room to roam. It's Open Access land and a haven for ground-nesting birds, so keep dogs under control, especially off the main tracks.

Feeling ambitious? The Glaisdale–Egton Bridge and Lealholm–Grosmont river walks are gorgeous too, though they cross working farmland (expect livestock and several stiles) and include a stepping-stone crossing of the Esk — best done on the lead. Save this one for your next visit, and tag us in your walk photos!

The school run's back on, the trails are quiet again, and the North York Moors National Park is doing that thing where the sky feels twice as big. September's brings a slower page — but with the same big views, half the crowds, and a lot more elbow room on the countryside trails and cliff-top paths. If you can get away midweek, now's the time. 🍂

We know the school holidays are a bit out of sync this year, but it's back to school on Monday for children here in North Yorkshire. And with that, the end of the summer holidays.

The Ladycross team have loved meeting all our guests these past few weeks. From the seasonal pitch holders who are here year in, year out, to the tourers who call in for a few nights before heading off somewhere else - we've loved having you here!

September brings a slightly different crowd to the coast, and a slower pace of life. If you're planning to visit over the next few weeks one of the local highlights is which runs from 11th - 13th September, showcasing over a hundred artists in pop-up galleries throughout the village. Well worth a visit!

For now, enjoy the weekend everyone and safe travels if you're heading home.

Ladycross is a unique park. And not just because we're situated in 95 acres of woodland. Here are some of the aspects of how we operate which we think are pretty unique, and make staying here a different experience from other parks locally:

🌲 We've worked with nature, to create pitches which sit comfortably within the trees. Privacy and peace and quiet are important for our guests, so our pitches and the position of our lodges are designed with this in mind, with plenty of space for everyone to enjoy.
🦊 Wildlife is welcome here. Our park is a haven for wildlife. From the pond which supports marine life and insects to the woodland which is home to numerous species of birds, mammals and our woodland chickens. Our guest regularly see amazing wildlife right from their caravans!
🛌🏻 Options. Whether you're a tourer, seasonal pitch holder, lodge owner or renter, you're all welcome at Ladycross.

And on that note... we'll have an announcement about another accommodation option we know some of our regulars have been waiting for very soon!
