High on a Hill

Not a reference to any substances that may have been inhaled (or not) but the situation of this quite lovely CL. There are many plus points. - The owners for a start are a mine of information and quite happy to stop and have a chat. The views are splendiferous, looking all the way down towards Harrogate and way beyond or off to east of Yorkshire. The toilet that is provided is cleaned daily and proper loo paper provided. The pitches have their own water tap and drainage and hook up close by. The elsan point is straight into the sewer system and you do not have to lift the toilet to empty it. The site is well situated for visiting many of the local attractions and we were able to walk up to Brimham Rocks (just over a mile away) quite easily. The site is well looked after with 3 grass pitches and 2 hardstandings with a further 2 hardstandings just above the site near to the barn area (albeit with these occupiers able to use the facilities offered by the cl.). The site was kept clean and tidy and bins emptied daily (various bins for recycling). The minus points? - The 1 mile approach road will not be to some peoples likening as it has very few passing places. However in mitigation the road carries very little traffic and on arrival and leaving we met with no-one and most other stayers had the same tale. It's just something to be aware of. We and many others had no problem with the entrance or exit but we did see someone get in trouble when exiting the site. It really shouldn't be a problem if care is taken and the 2 twin axles that arrived one day had no problems entering the site. The site does have quite a slope. The 3 grass pitches, which have adequate spacing between units, slope side to side and levelling blocks have been provided by the owners to help. We did actually manage to get level but it did cause a problem getting the awning right. The 2 H/S's slope front to back but both units on them had awnings up. I wouldn't have thought it would be ideal for motorhomers. One thing to bear in mind is that it is quite high up and, whilst on the leeward side of a hill, does attract a stronger wind than down in the valleys. The views and peace and quiet definitely outweighed any other "problems" we had. It should be noted that the owners also have a delightful 2 person cottage to rent, in view of the CL but next to their own house, so you could possibly holiday with non caravanning friends or family. It is an adult only site. One we will return to when next in the area, hopefully.
