CL recommendation Cumbria/North West Yorkshire

What facilities do you need?  Do you need toilets, showers, hardstandings etc?

Lynn

nope don't need anything, never ever use toilet or shower cos I got me own. Can even manage without eleccy. :)

Not south Cumbria, but only a few minutes from M6 J40 is Yanwath Woodhouse near Penrith (number 304 in sites directory) which is a basic farm site.  Slightly sloping grass pitches with EHU, toilet … but no shower.

The CL is set on the Lowther Estate, just above Lowther Holiday Park which is adjacent to the river.  I don’t think you’d want to stay on the holiday park, but it does have a well stocked licensed shop, bar and restaurant/takeaway which they don’t seem to mind CL visitors using.  We usually phone to order a takeaway, then walk down to collect it.

The holiday park has a dog walk, just off site along the riverside where dogs can be off lead.  If you walk to the far end of the holiday park, there is a gate into the rest of Lowther estate where you can walk for miles.

Back to the CL itself …. There is a very large field adjacent to the CL which is usually empty, so great for dogs!  Mr Fisher (the owner) is lovely, and always makes us feel very welcome.

many thanks Lynn that sounds just the job I will have a look.

Let me know if you decide to go   ..... don't follow the directions in the site directory 

Spk.......Cumbria and West Yorkshire are about 100 miles apart, at least??

You could try Richardson New Hall farm on the A66 appleby in westmorland. 

thanks Kenny will have a look

your right, typo error I should have said northwest Yorkshire

Moderator Edit:

Title amended accordingly.

Someone recently mentioned a new CL called Sandbeds, near Gressingham (north Lancs) which looks to be next to the river Lune and only about 10 mins from J35 Carnforth.  Not that far from south Cumbria 

We might have a drive down there at some point to check it out.  Looks quite nice from the photos.

that looks very nice indeed and an area I know quite well . I enjoy "country pursuits" incl working my dog not far from there. Very interested in trying that and will report back.
