A compact, walled, riverside city, York is home to countless world-class attractions, museums and galleries. Whether you choose to visit the Jorvic Viking Centre, York Dungeon’s or the National Railway Museum, or you prefer to head out of the city and discover the countless historic market towns and chocolate-box villages, Goosewood Holiday Park is the perfect base from which to see the sights.

The park is the latest addition to the Flower of May Holiday Parks Group Limited. The Atkinson family has owned the company since they diversified into family holidays from farming over thirty years ago. Their continued success at The Flower of May Holiday Parks has enabled them to expand the business over the years, acquiring parks to cater for all their customers’ needs throughout Yorkshire. With the emphasis being on families enjoying ownership of a holiday home, the aim is to provide excellent parks with superb facilities set in stunning locations.

The park is being sympathetically re-developed to offer the quality of location demanded by today’s holiday home owner. Set around a large, well-landscaped fishing lake, the new development offers more space and privacy than has previously been available, without losing the calm atmosphere of the woodland park. When the re-development is complete, Goosewood will be a park second-to-none, offering that rare combination of high quality without commercialisation.

Facilities at Goosewood Holiday Park include a children’s adventure play area, games room, fitness suite, surge pool and sauna, small shop with off-licence, launderette, well-stocked fishing lake, and extensive woodland walks on the park.

Everyone values their leisure time, whether it is for short breaks, annual holidays or retirement, and owning a holiday home gives you the freedom to make the most of your time. Whether you are looking for a personal getaway retreat or a relaxing meeting place for all your family to enjoy, Goosewood Holiday Park could be your ideal destination.

To find out whether Goosewood is the right location for you, do pay a visit. You will be able to enjoy the park at your leisure, meet existing owners and gaining a real feel for the park. All the available holiday homes will be on display, and park representatives will be on hand to answer all your questions, and to discuss your individual needs. The management prides itself on providing a relaxed and informative setting, enabling you to decide if holiday home ownership is right for you.
