Ten days with outstanding scenery

We spent 10 nights at Askew Rigg in early October. Access is so easy Just off the A66. There is a little background traffic noise during the day but we were out most days so it wasn’t an issue. The view over Blencathra is outstanding. The site is so handy for exploring in all directions. There are 3 or 4 pubs within a couple of miles - I think we tried them all on our way home from days out exploring in the car. The pitches are all good and hard-surfaced, with individual dustbins very handy. The ground between pitches can get a bit soggy; how the owner still managed to mow the grass one day was unbelievable. Eggs are sold from a cupboard in the farmyard - they are huge, mostly double yolkers- there aren’t many eggs that you can share one between two people! Tv advice - use your aerial vertical for best signal. It was a bit temperamental in bad weather, but on the whole ok. We loved Askew Rigg and the northern Lake District - So beautiful - and Keswick market on a Saturday morning was a good find. There is no doubt You will enjoy your stay here.
