Beverley Leisure Complex

The leisure complex in Beverley is a proper sports hub rather than a tourist attraction, but if you're staying at one of the nearby caravan parks - Butt Farm is just down the road - it's worth knowing what's on offer. The facility houses swimming pools, a gym, and various sports courts, making it the kind of place where families with kids can burn off energy on a rainy afternoon or when everyone needs a break from the outdoors.

It's not somewhere you'd plan a day around unless you're genuinely after a swim or a gym session. The pools are decent enough for a couple of hours, and there's enough variety that younger children won't get bored immediately. If you're based at High Farm Holiday Park or Cherry Burton, it's a manageable drive into Beverley town centre where the leisure complex sits.

Best visited mid-week if you can swing it - weekends get rammed with local clubs and school groups. Allow two to three hours if you're combining it with a swim and a look around Beverley itself, which has a proper market town feel and some good pubs for lunch. Don't expect anything fancy or Instagram-worthy, but it does exactly what it says on the tin. Facilities are clean and functional rather than glamorous.

For a caravan holiday in East Yorkshire, it's a useful backup plan rather than a headline attraction. Pack your swimming things and check their website for current opening hours before you head over.
