First time at Askew Rigg, WOW! A lovely warm welcome from Alan. The location of this site is just breath taking, with stunning views of Blencathra and surrounding mountains. There is a small pond at the rear of the CL which attracts a variety of wildlfe and a pretty babbling brook near the water stand pipe. Walking a little further into the farm you will come across the chemical toilet point, WC and metered shower. It's the best walk to and from a shower we've ever had! The provision of a toilet and shower are always a benefit, there was some criticism elsewhere as this is in an old farm building, but we would say it blends in with the site. The surroundings didn't phase us, the cleanliness is what matters and these were clean. Very easy access onto the A66 and the North Lakes. If you do visit you must take at trip to Basecamp North Lakes Farm Shop and Kitchen. Go for breakfast, all locally sources produce, YUMMY! The nearby town off Penrith has everything you need from food to activities and is just 10 minutes up the road. This is Bertie Baileys favourite place. Highly recommended, We very much look forward to our next visit.
