Park Information
Goodenbergh Country Holiday Park is set amidst woodland and open fields it is
located on the edge of the Yorkshire dales national park, the trough of
Bowland, Morecambe, Blackpool and Grange over sands are all within easy
reach.
The market town of high Bentham is about 4miles away which is situated in
north Yorkshire the nearest other towns are Settle and Skipton both of which
are worthy of a visit. Especially if you enjoy historic monuments, museums
and castles.
There are many very pretty villages in the area such as Dent with its cobble
streets and Kirby Lonsdale with its lovely market square and annual
victorian fayre.
In high Bentham you will find a spa and a co-op which are both open until
late there are four public houses a Chinese and an Indian take away which
are both very good there is also a traditional fish and chip shop and a
chemist, other traditional shops are in the town.
Also close by is a fantastic 18 hole golf course set in wonderful countryside with breath taking views visit www.benthamgolfclub.co.uk.
The park is a good base for those who like walking as there are many local
walks in the area. For those who are more adventurous there is the three
peaks, Ingleborough Whernside, Pen-y-Ghent and also the waterfall walk in
Ingleton which is four miles long. Well worth a visit if you don't mind going underground to dark deep places is white scar caves just outside Ingleton on the road to hawes. The hold supervised walks in the summer which explore these amazing underground caverns. Ingleton is a very quaint village which has an
outdoor swimming pool which can be used in the summer.
The park comprises of:
- Privately owned holiday homes positioned amongst silver birch woodland or circulating a large expanse of parkland which is ideal and safe for children to explore and which is used for recreational purposes (football, cricket etc).
- We have a beautiful woodland walk with signs around the way telling you what to look out for i.e.: plant life, birds, pond life etc and there are quiz leaflets available in the office.
Pets which are well behaved are very welcome, but should always be kept under control. There are bins provided around the park for you to use ie. pooperscoop. There is always quite alot of different livestock grazing in many of the fields surrounding the park, and Dogs should be kept on a lead at all times unless the field is empty when they may run free.
We operate a barrier system on the park to give our clients peace of mind.
There is an active social committee on the park.

Goodenbergh Alpacas:
We have a herd of 40 Alpacas which are a smaller version of the llama these animals originate from Peru and the high Andes, we keep them for their fibre (fleece) which is shawn once a year and is made into various garments i.e.: gloves, hats, scarves and the most beautiful throws.
The fleece is very warm with 22 different natural colours and is second only
to silk in strength. Items are often available to buy in the office.
