Carsington Water is a lovely clean site with lovely wardens and spotless facilities but unless you have a car or are a super fit walker or cyclist you may have difficulty in getting about. There is a bus service that passes the site 3 times a day but then you may find no bus running back. There are a few more options from the lovely Visitor Centre about 2.5 miles away. We did walk it both ways on one day and others we took our bikes, chained them up and then jumped on a bus. You can get to most places from there but be careful to check bus times back or you could find yourself stranded somewhere. The cycle around Carsington Water was about 9 miles including to site and back and well worth it. My only other niggle purely down to personal taste but i felt the site was very dark due to the tall trees that surrounded it. It felt quite claustaphobic and for this reason alone we would not return.  Debbie Moseley / Motorhomer
