At the heart of Yorkshire, surrounded by peaceful countryside, you’ll find Woodland Lakes: a collection of traditional wooden lodges and modern holiday homes gathered around tranquil fishing lakes, where your whole family or friendship group can unwind amid the beauty of nature. There’s even spa accommodation available, where you can sink into the bubbles of your own luxurious hot tub!
The resort boasts a range of facilities to enhance your stay. Delicious dishes are served in the café, which also offers a takeaway service for cosy evenings in, while the on-site shop stocks those all-important essentials. Get active with fun activities ranging from Body Zorbs to Soft Archery; let little ones burn off some energy in the soft play area; or enjoy some exercise or play in the 1.2-deep indoor heated swimming pool. Alternatively, take some time out in the jacuzzi or indulgent beauty spa, which offers a variety of treatments including massages, manicures and facials.
Meanwhile, keen anglers will enjoy a short walk from their lodge front door to the impressive, well-stocked lakes, offering carp, tench, bream, roach and barbel, among other species. The lakes cater for pleasure and match angling for all ages and abilities.
Landal Woodland Lakes is brilliantly placed to access all of Yorkshire’s top attractions, including the historic city of York (50 minutes’ drive away) with its city walls, museums, shops, themed tours and magnificent cathedral, York Minster. Plus, don’t miss the Jorvik Viking Centre, which brings the city’s Viking past to life.
The resort is also nestled between two stunning national parks – the North York Moors and the Yorkshire Dales – both of which offer some of the finest and most spectacular scenery in the UK, full of opportunities for walking, cycling and wildlife-spotting. Explore at your own pace the county’s pretty market towns and heritage sites, such as grand stately homes and atmospheric abbey ruins, or choose a picnic spot from which to soak up the beauty of the surroundings. You might even find that you recognise some of the sights, as Yorkshire has provided the backdrop to scenes in Stardust and Harry Potter films, among many other screen favourites!
