Brickyard Farm Lakes

Here at Brickyard Farm Lakes we are a small friendly site with only 35 caravan pitches all of which have good views of the water. The farthest pitch from a fishing platform is around 50 metres, and the farthest platform from a pitch is no more than 500 metres

There are fifteen pitches in the paddock (a car free area) directly opposite reception and very close to the toilet/shower blocks. Next to the ladies toilets is a unisex disabled shower room.

Of the total 35 pitches there are 15 season pitches while the remaining 20 are used on an ad-hoc basis for both short and longer stays. We also have on-site storage available for the frequent visitor for whom we operate a pitch and store service.
Brickyard Farm Lakes is located in North Yorkshire's beautiful Ryedale only 3 miles from Malton giving easy access to the North Yorkshire Moors, the Yorkshire Wolds and the East Coast.  York, to the South and Scarborough to the North East are around 30 - 40 minutes drive away.

Visitors to Brickyard Farm can simply sit and enjoy the tranquility of its three lakes or fish them at very reasonable cost. Visitors to our site have identified over 20 different bird species and the very lucky have enjoyed the company, albeit for a very short time, of roe deer.
Old Lake (or Amotherby Pond if your map is old enough) is more than one hundred years old and contains a variety of Coarse Fish. Abbie Lake was excavated in the early 1990's and has matured well. Jacob's Cut is the newest lake being constructed for the millennium only completed in the spring of 2001.

In 2004 residents only matches were introduced giving pleasure to both regular and occasional visitors. Matches run on alternate Saturday mornings starting around mid March and continuing through to late September. The Draw for each match is a 8:00 am giving a 9:00 am start and lasts for 5 hours. In early and late season the draw and duration may vary depending on the weather.

Being surrounded by the Howardian Hills, the Wold and the Yorkshire Moors we have some of the most beautifully scenery in the country on our door step. Local author, Geoff Brooks, has identified over 30 walks all of which start within 3 or 4 miles of us and provide for all stamina's. If you really want to stretch yourself then Dalby Forrest has some excellent walks and cycle rides.

The surrounding area boasts a number of village/town markets and some well appointed Sunday car boot sales. A list of local market days is kept in reception next to the 'Pub Grub' recommendations list.
