You are right about the Magpie David, they have now opened a takeaway next door to the restaurant.Barney, We stayed at Ladycross Plantation last year. Really nice quiet grassy site in the countryside outside Whitby, with nice clean toilet block & electric hook ups. Grass pitches were mostly fine when we were there but looked like some could get a bit soft in wet weather. If heading for Whitby dont forget to book for the Magpie Cafe - best fish and chips Ive ever had but the queue outside for those that had not booked was amazing.
You are dead right there excellent and not to expensive.Just a bit further down the coast at Scarborough there's the excellent Flower of May - www.flowerofmay.com.
