JW CARAVAN SALES LTD

You'll spot the JW Caravan Sales lot just outside York - one of those proper working dealerships that's been shifting caravans and motorhomes for years. It's not exactly a tourist attraction in the traditional sense, but if you're genuinely in the market for a caravan or motorhome, it's worth a look. The showroom displays the kind of range you'd expect: everything from compact campervans to full-sized family rigs, mostly second-hand stock that moves fairly quickly.

This is really for people who've already decided they want to buy or rent. You won't find much to entertain kids, and it won't fill a afternoon. What matters is whether they've got what you're after - and the proximity to York means you can combine a viewing with a proper day out in the city itself.

If you're staying at one of the nearby parks - Ravensdale Glamping Retreats is just two miles away, York Meadows sits at three and a half miles, and Flaxton Meadows makes up a quartet within a few miles - you might pop in on your way through. Worth calling ahead to confirm stock and opening hours before you make the trip. The team are straightforward to deal with, no nonsense.
