We've been to Englethwaite Hall a few times as we enjoy the peaceful location. Great for walking the dog around the small lakes. This was a hot and sunny weekend so the shaded walk was very nice indeed. The site has always been very peaceful but unfortunately this time there was a family (s) with young children whose parents obviously decided it was okay for them to keep playing right outside our door, understandably driving our dog mad. We asked them four times if they would stop but with no effect. As they kept climbing over the fence, made from sticks, which the site have erected to obviously stop people cutting through this way, one actually caused some damage. Not the wardens fault at all but a shame that a site that seems set up for a peaceful getaway, certainly was not during our visit.
