Campsite & Luxury Glamping in Nidderdale | Yorkshire Dales
Welcome to Breaks Fold Farm, a peaceful, family-run traditional hill farm run by Richard and Louise Pullan, 4th-generation hill farmers here in the stunning Washburn Valley. Completely non-commercial and offering a relaxed rural location on the edge of Thruscross Reservoir, our 225-acre farm is home to a mixed flock of sustainable livestock, including hardy Herdwick and traditional Swaledale sheep. It provides the ultimate tranquil base to explore the Nidderdale National Landscape and the wider Yorkshire Dales area.
Proud Heritage: Our scenic farm fields were featured on Channel 4's "Carry on Glamping" with Johnny Vegas as the original location for his famous Field of Dreams glampsite!
