Driffield

Market day brings Driffield properly alive. This old market town, tucked into the Yorkshire Wolds, still hums with agricultural life - you'll hear farmers discussing crop prices over proper Yorkshire tea. The River Hull meanders through town, giving it a sleepy charm that's hard to resist.

Fosse Hill Pond offers a peaceful spot for reflection, while the surrounding Wolds provide brilliant walking country. Pricketts Whin and Gall Plantation are lovely for rambles, though the real draw here is the countryside itself - rolling chalk hills that change colour with the seasons.

Driffield sits bang in the middle of some cracking Yorkshire countryside. You're twenty minutes from the coast at Bridlington, but equally well-placed for exploring the quieter villages scattered across the Wolds. St Michael's Catwick and St Mary's Brandesburton showcase typical East Riding church architecture, while Bert's Adventure Golf provides something different for families.

Getting here is straightforward - the A614 runs right through town, connecting you to Hull in the south and the coast to the east. The railway station links to Hull and Bridlington too, though having a car opens up the surrounding area properly.

Staying at one of the nearby holiday parks makes perfect sense. Places like Dacre Lakeside Park and Kingfisher Lakes Glamping & Lodges put you right in the countryside while keeping Driffield's shops and cafes within easy reach. You're also ideally positioned for day trips to the coast or deeper into the Wolds.
