As it was an en-route stopover it suited our purposes as the facilities on site were clean and Thirsk town centre is within easy walking distance, but the traffic is very busy. The female warden who greeted us was very friendly and helpful. As we have a large dog the site was a little too cramped for our liking. The site could be improved by (a) planting trees around the perimeter to help with filtering the traffic noise, (b) giving walking access to the centre of the racecourse, and (c) making the dog walking area more 'dog friendly' by planting some shrubs/bushes/trees.
