Cave Castle Health Club

The Cave Castle Health Club sits just outside Brough and is fundamentally a leisure facility rather than a tourist attraction proper. You're looking at a gym, swimming pool, and various fitness classes - the sort of place locals pop to for their morning swim or evening workout. If you're staying at one of the nearby caravan sites like Willow Pond or Little Wold Away Glamping, it's worth knowing about, particularly if you've got restless teenagers or want to maintain some fitness routine during your break.

The pool is the main draw for families. A proper indoor facility means you're not at the mercy of English weather, and there's usually a shallow end suitable for younger kids. The gym side appeals to anyone who doesn't fancy their fitness routine going completely off the rails during a holiday - and let's be honest, caravan site breakfasts make that a genuine concern.

There's nothing spectacular about it, but that's precisely the point. It's functional, local, and handy if you're based nearby. Opening hours and admission fees vary, so ring ahead before you turn up. Peak times tend to be early morning and early evening, so if you want a quieter session, lunchtime usually works. If your holiday revolves around outdoor walking in the Yorkshire Wolds and you need somewhere to shake off a rainy afternoon, it'll do the job. Don't make it your reason for visiting the area - but don't skip it either if staying locally with kids.
