Idyllic, peaceful location on the longest 'B' road in the country!

What a find. I couldn't have wished for a more tranquil and well kept site with all the basic facilities so handy and a good value food and real ale pub just steps across the road. The site is at the far west end of the B6318 in Cumbria - just a few miles from the Scottish border where it terminates a few miles further on. The other end is at Heddon-on-the-Wall, the drive to which, from the site, runs the length of Hadrian's Wall in an almost straight line - a trip I'd certainly recommend making whilst in the area. The site itself is well maintained with the grass neatly cut with tubs of flowers at each pitch by the EHU points. The pitches are all fairly level and are hardstanding which is great since the site is open all year round. The water and other facilities are just a few metres away from the pitches. I had no problem getting reception for the Three wifi unit although our van has an external aerial on the roof which obviously helps - around 3MBs up and down so Netflix streamed nicely once we returned from the pub and wifi calling worked just fine. First night we were there Maddy Prior (All Around My Hat) was dining in the restaurant - apparrently she lives locally and runs workshops from her home. I couldn't find many marked footpaths nearby however it's a short drive to many local attractions where there are plenty. Carlisle itself is very close and we spent a day over at Shilloth on the coast which is worth visiting and Beckfoot beach just to the South where it is easy to park a motorhome right in the dunes for free. Slightly further South is Allenby again on the coast which also looked unspoilt and very traditional. Parking for motorhomes is good at Talkin Tarn near Brampton and there's a nice circular walk from the CP to Brampton via the station and the former 'Dandy Line' to the town. All-in-all at the very top of our sites visited this year - of which there have been many.

Hi, Can you tell me more about the circular walk from the site to Brampton via the station and former Dandy Line. Looks to be 9 miles each way?
