Winter Wonder

In winter’s frosty embrace, we seek solace,
Easicampers roam, adventuring with grace.
Amidst snow-covered landscapes, a traveler’s delight,
We embark on winter breaks, shining so bright.

With our trusty campers, snug and warm,
We venture forth, embracing nature’s charm.
Through mountains and valleys, we wander free,
Witnessing the beauty that winter brings, you see.

A cozy haven on wheels, our camper awaits,
A refuge from the cold, where memories create.
A crackling fire, its warmth ever inviting,
As we gather ’round, storytelling and delighting.

Mystical Edinburgh

In the realm of autumn’s chill,
When the moon above does thrill,
EasiCampers motorhomes set out,
On a Halloween adventure, no doubt.

Wheels on asphalt, a journey unfolds,
Through darkened woods and stories untold.
Their headlights pierce the shadows deep,
Seeking mysteries that secrets keep.

Inside those motorhome walls of delight,
Laughter and whispers fill the night.
Families gather, hearts alight,
Awaiting tricks and treats in sight.

Beneath the moon’s enchanting glow,
EasiCampers find a place to bestow,
Their cozy haven, a home away,
Where Halloween’s magic comes to play.

Spooky Dales


The Yorkshire Dales, located in northern England, are known for their stunning natural beauty and picturesque landscapes. However, like many historic and rural areas, they have their fair share of spooky legends, ghost stories, and mysterious occurrences. Here are a few notable spooky tales from the Yorkshire Dales:

  1. The Screaming Skull of Burton Agnes Hall: While not in the Yorkshire Dales itself, Burton Agnes Hall is located in the neighboring county of East Yorkshire. The hall is said to be haunted by a screaming skull that was bricked up in a wall to silence its cries. It is believed to belong to the ghost of Anne Griffith, who was allegedly murdered in the 17th century.
  2. The Ghost of Lady Alice Peckett: In York, which is near the Yorkshire Dales, there is a famous pub called the Ye Olde Starre Inn. It is said to be haunted by the ghost of Lady Alice Peckett, the wife of a former mayor of York. Her apparition has been reported by staff and visitors over the years.
  3. The Black Monk of Pontefract: While Pontefract is not in the Yorkshire Dales, it’s still relatively nearby. The Black Monk is one of the most famous poltergeists in England and is said to haunt 30 East Drive in Pontefract. This house has been the site of numerous paranormal events, including levitating objects and unexplained noises.
  4. Wensleydale’s Phantom Carriage: In the Wensleydale area of the Yorkshire Dales, there have been reports of a phantom carriage drawn by headless horses. This ghostly carriage is said to appear on moonless nights, carrying a headless driver.
  5. Bolton Abbey Ghosts: Bolton Abbey, located in the Yorkshire Dales, is rumored to be haunted by several ghosts, including a headless monk who is said to roam the ruins. There have also been reports of a spectral dog that haunts the area.
  6. Mysterious Lights: Some parts of the Yorkshire Dales have been associated with mysterious lights in the night sky. While these could be attributed to natural phenomena or distant aircraft, they have sometimes been linked to UFO sightings and other paranormal activity.

It’s important to note that these are just legends and stories, and there is no scientific evidence to support the existence of ghosts or supernatural phenomena. However, these tales add to the rich folklore and history of the region, making the Yorkshire Dales even more intriguing for those interested in the supernatural. If you decide to visit the area, you might encounter some of these stories for yourself or learn more about the local legends from residents and tour guides.

Why not visit some of these spooky places if that’s your thing.

Our motorhomes and campervans are ideal for travelling across the rugged landscape of the Yorkshire Dales.
