ABOUT US

A quiet corner of the Ryburn valley

Riverside sits in a pretty, peaceful valley alongside the River Ryburn, tucked away from the main road in a clearing in the woods. It's a small site: four glamping pods on the bank and super pitches for caravans, motorhomes and campervans, with brand new shower and toilet facilities close by.
Walk straight out of the site into the woodland, which is perfect with the dog, or head further out to the moors, the Pennine Way, Hardcastle Crags and Dovestones. Ripponden village, with its pubs and takeaways, is five minutes on foot. We're ten minutes from the M62, right between Leeds and Manchester.
Any questions, just message us. We're happy to help.

EXPLORE RIPPONDEN

What's nearby

Pubs, walks and days out — the village is five minutes on foot, and the Calder Valley is on the doorstep.

Ripponden grew up where the old packhorse routes from Elland and Halifax met and crossed into Lancashire. The river was first crossed by a ford, then a timber bridge, a stone bridge in 1533 and the bridge you see today, built in the mid-1700s. It is a very dog-friendly village with fantastic walking and cycling routes, and the Tour de France came through in 2014.

Just back from a fantastic 5-day stay! … once you arrive, it’s a little hidden gem. The toilet block has two mixed-gender toilets, each with a shower, both spotless and tidy and with great electric showers. … Highly recommended, we’ll definitely be back!
