It is important to apply for a pitch as we may issue a 'direction to leave order' for any unauthorised encampments on public land.

Gypsy and Traveller pitches in York

In total, there are 61 individual pitches; most are big enough for 2 caravans and 1 or 2 vehicles. Each pitch has its own service block which includes a kitchen area and bathroom. There are regular visits from support workers who manage the site and help you when required.

Using York's Traveller sites

When using a site you'll be expected to maintain your own pitch, including keeping the garden area clean and tidy. You will be responsible for the general upkeep of the site and not causing any nuisance.
