Barton on Humber
The caravan park is located within walking distance of Barton-on-Humber and is an ideal base for walkers, cyclists and bird watchers. Barton clay pits, which once supplied clay to the tile and brick making industries for Hull, have now been flooded to create a nature reserve covering a 5-mile area along the Humber bank offering attractive walks to view the local wildlife including a wide variety of birds. In 2002, 138 species of birds were identified in the park. There is fishing available in the ponds.  Admission to the park is free.

The Baysgarth House Museum is a fine stately home within Barton that is set within 30 acres of grounds and is the former home of the renowned Nelthorpe family. Exhibits in the house reflect local relevance, and additional exhibitions run throughout the year.

St Peters church is an impressive 10th century church which has the most remarkable Alglo-Saxon tower in the country. Made redundant in 1971, it is now in the care of English Heritage and is open to the public from 2-4pm daily.

Ropewalk contemporary art and craft centre comprises two galleries, artists workshops, printmaking and darkrooms within the old Hall's former Ropery. 

Self guided tours around the town, passing magnificent buildings including fine halls and merchants houses trace the development of local industries including the manufacture of rope, bicycles, bricks & tiles. They tell the story of Barton from a town mentioned in the Domesday book to one of the most important ports in medieval times.
