Worked well to walk local parts of Hadrians Wall
Whittlees
Visited early September.
The track to CL is signed Barron House from road.
Confirmed with owner you are able to walk further up the track over railway to join public footpath. Also able to access Hadrians Wall path by turning right on road from CL and walking 200m to a signed permissive footpath to Chapel House Farm (care needed on road due to traffic on bend/brow of hill).
Eggs for sale at CL entrance via honesty box £1.50/half dozen
CL not busy, paid £20pn incl EHU. Grey waste to edge line of CL.
Quiet location, train track nearby not intrusive as over brow of hill.
Slightly sloping - more so on right hand side.
Well placed for walking Hadrians Wall path.
would have liked a no EHU £ option. Would return
What more could you want
Whittlees
Insttuctions to find were excellent. Nice site, grass cut and collected which is great. Quiet, well placed for Hadrians Wall, lovely countryside. A bit of slope but nothing out of the ordinary.

Very hilly spot
Whittlees
We found the cl .Very difficult to pitch as very hilly ,some extra bits of wood would have been useful if owner left them ..nothing else to say .
Quiet site
Whittlees
Lovely site and great area, but as we arrived it was raining cats & dogs their is a C.L. sign at the end of the track with a different property name near it , so I had to leave the caravan on the road and go walking down to see if we where at the right place, if you are on the right of the field you will need big levelling blocks as the field goes up a lot
Great wee CL
Whittlees
Stayed here for 3 nights in July 2022. Very easy access to an immaculately kept site. Although not the hugest of CLs the units are well spaced out. The information hut is a brilliant with information on the myriad of attractions in easy reach from the site. The site is quite sloping in places so bring some wood for the steadies. Would recommend this site and would happily make a return visit.
