As lockdown rules were lifted further across England over the weekend, allowing pubs, restaurants and hotels to reopen, the prospect of a summer holiday is now looking more promising.

While travelling abroad is allowed again, as advice on foreign travel was updated and quarantine restrictions lifted in more than 50 countries, many Brits may opt to holiday a little closer to home this year.

Campsites, caravan parks and hotels in England are now permitted to welcome guests again for the first time in more than three months, while overnight stays are allowed as of 4 July.

As the tourism industry starts to reopen again, there are many beautiful spots across the country that can now be enjoyed for a summer staycation - including here in Yorkshire.

If you are planning to ditch a holiday abroad in favour of a summer break closer to home, here are seven campsites and caravan parks across the county that are now welcoming visitors.
