I am sad to see the Roxton site closing. I was on the bank of the Humber, lots around in easy distances.

 Thanks for the link, Maddie, very helpful with keeping my Site Directory up to date.

Yes, a very sad loss is Roxton, beautiful CL, and the kind of little place CL touring was all about. Such nice people, it will be sadly missed in this household.

Tda, I see that another of your recommended sites closed late last year, Rectory Farm, Bampston. It now only has seasonal pitches.

We stayed at Roxton in September 2022. The people that ran it were lovely, just the sort you hope to meet. They were elderly though so maybe the energy ran out. Loved the site, what CLs are all about but sadly becoming rarer each time one of these jewels close.

Thanks Maddie.

Good to see Wortley Hall back on the CL circuit. Not that many in the area.

Not so good that the number of closures exceed new/reopened sites by nearly 3 to 1!!

Sorry to you that Drummuckloch is one of those that have closed!

You, more than most, use a lot of CL's. Do you get any sense from your various visits why CL's are closing?
