Just returned after a lovely, but very wet, 10 days at Firtree. Thank heavens for excellent hard standings. The well-kept site is beautiful and so peaceful. Yes the curlews make haunting cries over nearby fields. Unknowingly we chose this site well; once you get beyond Pateley Bridge, some of the hills would be extremely challenging with a caravan on tow. Lots of Historic Houses to visit within 20 miles. Fresh eggs at farm down the lane. All in all, a very enjoyable stay - sun came out on the morning of our departure. Glad we made decision to leave awning at home!
