On another CL thread a poster suggested their favourite 3 CL sites. So, as it's pretty much the end of the main touring season and, for us, the end of our touring days I thought it would be a good idea for those of us who have used a lot of CLs over the years to nominate our own favourites. Just personal likes, nothing on the scale of CL of the Year of course. It's a difficult task to narrow it down to just 3, but here are ours -

1) Drake House Farm, high in the hills above Clitheroe

2) Woodville, just outside Shrewsbury

3) Wortley Hall - a new one to us this year, near Sheffield.

So many other good ones spring to mind - maybe I should have made it a top 10! smile

We have quite a few favourites, and most would not appear on the CLOY list, and I find if difficult to select only 3, so these few could change depending how I feel on the day, and they are not in order of preference, but are all great for dog walking straight from the site.

1) Priestfield Grange Fm, Old Brampton near Chesterfield

2) The Old Orchard, Ombersley

3) Davochfin Farm, Dornoch

Agree with M about making a list of 10.

A few of mine have left the club to set up privately (Fowberry Farm at Bamburgh and Low Hedgeley Farm at Powburn spring to mind) but 3 faves which are still club cls are:

1. Patterdale Hall-my latest discovery and already planning a return visit.

2. Wallthwaite,Troutbeck

3. Swan Farm,  Hawsker

Choosing just 3 is difficult!!!

No-one else willing to name their top 3? Surely not worried about not being able to get a pitch if they recommend a site? undecided

😁😁😁😁

1. A secret location in Cornwall, usually booked up in advance!

2. Seat House, near Skipton

3. Ashfield Caravan Site, Lockton

 

We have a lot more favourites. Sadly a few are now closed. Some are small private sites.

It is by me, we have a favourite CS in Norfolk. In fact we choose it over the CL owned by same family.😁

Yes, we're all talking about the same one - Creake Meadows.

No. 2 - Hallsdown Farm, N Devon.

I'm working on No 3.
