Swaleview Park: Riverside Luxury in the Heart of the Yorkshire Dales

Swaleview Park: Riverside Luxury in the Heart of the Yorkshire Dales

Tucked away in the stunning Swaledale valley, Swaleview Park offers one of North Yorkshire’s most breathtaking holiday home settings. Family-owned for generations, this riverside park near Richmond blends natural beauty, heritage, and modern luxury — making it the perfect choice for those seeking peace, comfort, and a true countryside escape.

At Ideal Caravans, we’re proud to work with partner parks like Swaleview that combine quality craftsmanship, community spirit, and a genuine love for the Yorkshire landscape.

A Park with Heritage and Heart

The Carter family have been part of Swaledale life since the 18th century, and their connection to the land runs deep. What began as a local dairy and picnic spot evolved into a cherished holiday park that has welcomed guests for over 70 years. Today, Swaleview Park remains under family care — now led by the third generation, continuing a proud tradition of hospitality, care, and countryside living.

Over the years, the park has grown and modernised, but it’s never lost its charm. Upgraded facilities, landscaped gardens, and wildlife-friendly woodland create a setting where peace and nature come first. Whether you’re walking along the River Swale, enjoying the views of rolling Dales, or sitting on your decking with a morning coffee, life here moves at a gentler pace.

Luxury Holiday Homes and Lodges

Swaleview Park offers a superb selection of holiday homes and static caravans for sale, designed to suit a range of lifestyles and budgets. Each home is sited on its own spacious plot and built to exceptional standards, with options from leading manufacturers such as Willerby and Pathfinder.

Popular models include:

  • The Willerby Clearwater Lodge – blending affordable luxury with contemporary comfort and panoramic views of the Dales.

  • The Edmonton Lodge – inspired by Hamptons-style elegance, complete with a sun deck overlooking the river.

With a 12-month holiday licence, Swaleview offers the flexibility to enjoy your retreat all year round — from summer walks through the valley to cosy winter evenings in your lodge.

A True Dales Lifestyle

Swaleview Park is about more than owning a holiday home — it’s about belonging to a community that values tranquillity, quality, and connection with nature. The park attracts couples, families, and outdoor enthusiasts who appreciate the simple joys of rural life.
