A last minute change of plan meant that we could go away for the Easter weekend if we could find a CL... The recent heavy rain ruled out a number of CLs near Helmsley so looked further afield and came across Bank Head which, unbelievably, had availability. Not too sure what to expect after the recent rains but arrived to find a nigh on perfect CL! Grass cut short which is always a good sign and ground reasonably firm despite the rain - the CL sits at the end of a private track which makes it extremely quiet. It also sits a little higher than the surrounding countryside so it has great views west & south over farmland towards the Yorkshire Dales. Greeted by Denise on arrival who was extremely welcoming and gave us a (presumably) home printed leaflet which provides lots of useful information on the local area - simple idea but very well done and not something we've seen before. The CL itself is wonderful - really well maintained with easy access to water, waste, recycling etc. - a real credit to Denise & Mike. Access to the site is easy - Denise's directions were spot on - and access to the A19 is also easy for trips to Thirsk etc. Northallerton is a few minutes drive down country lanes and worth a visit. This CL is only 1.5 hours from home so will definitely be returning! Many thanks Denise & Mike!
