Ellerton Park
Ellerton Park is a fresh water, spring fed 60 acre lake with a large touring caravan park located in the village of Ellerton near to the A1, Richmond and Northallerton. The Lakeside Farm Shop and Country Cafe is located within a short distance from the lake offering a wide range of fresh farm produce together with homemade food.
On a sunny day – “there is nothing – absolutely nothing – half so much worth doing as messing about in boats.” (Kenneth Grahame –Â The Wind in the Willows.)
