9 days in October 2022 - great area to visit

This compact CL is at the back of a now-closed pub on the edge of Torver – a 10 minute drive south from Coniston. The pitches are all hardstanding with grass alongside and EHUs within 25m. The old pub car park has a few spaces for larger motorhomes. The owner, Mark, is welcoming and friendly and can provide good information about the locality. There is a bus stop for a service to Coniston just outside the entrance, but only 3 buses per day. Buses run from Coniston to Windermere and Ambleside where other services can be reached. Mark provides WiFi but as in many rural areas the signal is currently quite weak and unreliable. We found that a WiFi booster improved the signal strength considerably, but not the reliability. The TV signal was good - note that if you have a directional aerial it must be in a vertical position. This is an excellent location for visiting the southern Lake District area – several lakes, gardens worth visiting, Beatrix Potter locations, a steam railway, challenging passes and a multitude of excellent walking trails. Numerous good pubs and cafes. Supermarkets can be found in Windermere and Ulverston.
