Dorset Knobs

Just returned from a 7 night stay at Haycraft - our first visit. Good directions provided and access roads good up to last half mile, being Haycraft lane itself. But there are passing places and only half mile. Definitely do NOT try to access from Langton Matravers end of Haycraft Lane - it's very steep downhill and no passing places. We received a warm welcome from the lady warden and had a choice of pitches. Weather on arrival was wet, so unsure of position of sun. Warden advised that upper level was better for sun but exposed to wind. We chose pitch no 48. Turned out it faced due south and as weather was kind to us, it was perfect. It has no neighbours one side and is close to water/waste points. These are on the lower level, so full barrels have to be pulled/pushed up the slope - beware if this is an issue. The site is very compact and tidy. We use onboard facilities but the washroom block was very clean on the two occasions I visited. The area is great. I cycle and took my road bike, Some really challenging hills. Swanage is a lovely compact seaside resort. Great fish and chips - eat them in the car in the longstay carpark and watch the lights come on over the bay. Bootiful! Studland is great for a level walk and Durdle Door a must. Overall - will certainly return. PS Dorset Knobs are a local biscuit.
