This quiet CL is situated just before the farm alongside the drive about 1/4 ml off the Caldbeck to Hesketh Newmarket road. The entrance is the first on the left about 1/2 ml from the end of Caldbeck village, is nice and wide but not well indicated having the site notice on the left hand side of the entrance. There are 5 decent sized Hardstanding pitch, 3 of which are drive in drive out type while the other 2 are positioned in the corners looking down the valley. It appeared that when we were there only 4 of the pitches had EHUs. There is a toilet and a separate free shower situated behind the farmhouse. The village of Caldbeck has a pub, a couple of cafes and a small shop, and the graveyard is the final resting place of John Peel. There are numerous walks for the village, including the Cumbia Way and the C2C, and there's good access to Lakeland's Northern Fells. Carlisle and Penrith are about 15 mils away for any major shops, although there is a Lidl at Wigton 8ml away. Many of the lanes in the area are narrow and steep so quite challenging for most cyclists. There are few historic buildings in the area, Hutton in the Forest, Dalmain Mansion, and Isle Hall are all HHA properties, and there's also Wordsworth's house at Cockermouth. We will certainly return to explore more of this interesting area.
