This is a fabulous site. The views make you realise why Yorkshire claims to be Gods own county, it's certainly true here in Wensleydale. Sitting watching over the valley on a bright day is far better than any TV can entertain. The Hard working owners Simon and Rachel are open, helpful and friendly. The facilities are very good with a small shower and toilet at the near end of the field. Toilet paper and soap is provided by the hosts. The shower is on a meter at 20p for 2 mins. I found 40p was plenty. This is a working farm so do expect some movement of farm machinery (not too near the CL area) but never intrusive. The sounds of the lambs and cows in the bottom fields is harmonious to your stay. The owners are also CC members and fellow caravanners so they know what your needs are and provide well for you. Over the valley (walkable at a stretch - owners can advise you) is the Queens head at Finghall, excellent venue with efficient and friendly staff and great food. The reverse view is over to your van and the farm. There is also the Wyvil arms just down the road but we haven't tried it as we love the Queens. Nearby are both Leyburn and Bedale and the Wensleydale (sometimes) steam railway from Leyburn. The railway also passes (at a distance) the CL though the trains are only every few hours and add to, rather than detract from, your enjoyment of the site. Constable burton hall is also very close by. Middleham and Masham also a few minutes away, But I shouldnt be telling you any of this .. If I want to have it all to myself.
