Beautiful wooded site built into an old quarry with tiered pitches. Reminded us of Coniston Coppice but on a small scale. The kilns are still there and lit up at night. Very natural, non-pretentious site. We had a huge pitch with no other vans or MHs around us. Lots of rabbits which were a joy to watch when they were feeding. Many birds too and there is an added bonus of Gerald the peacock. He is quite vocal at dawn and dusk, but for us this just added to the charm of the site. He can often be found roosting in the trees adjacent to the shower block. The entry road is single track but shouldn't pose a problem if you keep your speed down and look well ahead (there are also mirrors to help). Don't get there before 1 pm, which is arrival time. Departure is at 11 am so if you stick to the rules you shouldn't meet anyone on the road. Once you're on-site if you're planning to go out and about by car make sure you're off-site before 1 pm so you don't meet new arrivals. The wardens, Kath and Eddie, along with the assistant wardens, Janice and Peter, are very professional and very helpful. When we arrived Kath was very kind to walk with me to show the available pitches. They all go about their business in an unobtrusive manner but are always ready to help when needed. Good selection of things in the Reception shop plus OS maps etc. The shower block is clean and has plenty showers, loos, wash basins and hot water, plus a couple of hair dryers. It might not be bang up to date but does the job very respectably and is well maintained. You can walk into Leyburn along a permissive way past the cottage which then takes you onto the main road from Wensley to Leyburn. It's only about a mile. There is a lovely 4.5 mile circular walk up from Campbell's shop over the Leyburn Shawl (there is a longer 8 mile walk too). Instructions can be found in Reception. Great views over to Middleham Moor, Pen Hill and towards Castle Bolton. Leyburn has a large, well stocked Co-op. Most parking in Leyburn runs on an honesty system and recommended donation is £2. We ate Sunday lunch at The Three Horseshoes in Wensley (where there is also a candle factory and waterfall). The food was very, very good and very reasonably priced. Choice of topside of beef or pork loin with the most amazing Yorkshire puddings, lots of roast potatoes, mash, great selection of perfectly cooked veggies and plenty of meat. One of the best Sunday lunches we've had in a long time. Booking recommended and is dog friendly. Just outside the site, across from The Pheasant Inn, is the pretty Harmby waterfall. The pub is charming, no food and just accepts cash but very welcoming and friendly. Middleham Castle is well worth a visit if you like history as is the Church of St Mary and St Alkelda. We will definitely be back and so will our neighbours who recommended the site to us.
