Glamping but not as you know it. Our luxurious Shepherds Huts, fondly named the Sweet Pea and The Moorhen, are situated in the most idyllic of countryside locations, set back and hidden amongst the trees, looking out across a peaceful lake.
Unlike normal glamping, our huts are designed to suit those wishing for a more relaxing stay, a stay that ticks a few more boxes than just a hard shell posh tent. The huts come equipped with your own kitchen and bathroom facilities, a queen sized bed, underfloor heating and outside seating.
Old Pasture Park is a family run farm, we have been working this land since 1985, however, what was once just a field has since been sculpted into a little rural paradise. It’s beautiful and peaceful, it feels like a true escape into the countryside, yet it’s not far from the cobbled streets of York.
Hello
The site is ran by myself (Sam) and my parents (Caroline & David).
We established in 2019 as a luxury glamping site.
We love hosting!
In search of a quintessentially British experience, cobbled streets, and rich history? Or perhaps it’s a few days at the races or a walk along the city walls? York has all of that to offer and much more. We’re situated just 6 miles from the centre and there’s a bus top just 40 metres from the park entrance.
