We visited this site in June so the weather was mixed. You pitch yourself on arrival and the owner then comes to see you later.
The field is sloping so blocks are required, although there are some provided if necessary. Our pitch gave us a view to the front straight down the valley to Sutton Bank in the distance. To our side we looked down the slope to the stream at the bottom of the valley. We were very pleased with the pitch as we had good views on two sides.
The CL field is surrounded by fields on three sides with assorted cattle. Although the cattle shed is adjacent to the 4th side, we didn't experience any smells or noise.
There was a little owl in residence nearby that flew past occasionally, and oyster catchers and curlews were regular visitors.
There is a shower shed that also has a toilet and sink (cold water only). A mop is supplied but it did get quite grassy at times from people using the toilet with grassy boots. It didn't seem to be cleaned regularly.
The site is about 5 miles from the A1 and is easy to get to. It gives easy access to many attractions such as Jervaulx Abbey and Middleham Castle. Masham isn’t too far away which has a couple of breweries that are worth a visit, and of course Hawes for Wensleydale cheese.
We would certainly go back to this site.
