Doncaster Sheffield Airport Motorhome Hire

SEARCH: Motorhomes for Hire in Yorkshire

Doncaster Sheffield Airport is the former name of Robin Hood Airport which today is an international airport located in Doncaster, South Yorkshire.

During World War I, Doncaster Sheffield Airport was used as a base for the Royal Flying Corps in their attempt to intercept German Zeppelins. During the Cold War the airport became even more important when it then became a base for Vulcan bombers which held nuclear arms.

Although the airport was decommissioned in 1995, a boom in budget low-cost flights led to its re-opening in 2005, under the new name: Robin Hood Airport.

Many visitors still retain its original name and for that reason Doncaster Sheffield Airport motorhome hire is a popular choice. There is often confusion with Nottingham East Midlands Airport and Robin Hood Airport as Nottingham is the traditional home to the legend, however his name has been lent to the Doncaster-based airport.

Beside the River Nidd on the outskirts of Knaresborough, Saint Robert’s Cave was a medieval hermit’s home. This site once attracted thousands of pilgrims.
Robert of Knaresborough lived on this site in the late 12th and early 13th centuries.

The small cave is carved into the face of the limestone cliff, and the remains of a chapel and Robert’s living area survive.

Robert’s Cave is located on Abbey Road in Knaresborough, a few hundred yards from Wetherby Road. The site is marked by a roadside interpretation board. Entry is through a wooden gate at roadside, down to the river via a path and a set of fairly steep steps. Care is needed as the path and steps can be slippery.

Access by motor home to the cave is difficult and parking is extremely limited. A layby on the roadside will accommodate two vehicles. The best route is a leisurely walk along Abbey Road from the town centre, approximately 25 minutes.
