I visited Pool Bank Farm during the last weekend on January 2016 and (for the first time ever) considered cancelling a trip because of the weather forecast.  Having got accurate and helpful advice by ’phone from the Waterhouses my trip went ahead.  The weekend was as windy as promised (50 mph) but the sheltered location – in spite of being on a ridge – was more than a match for mother nature. Access to the site was well signposted when travelling NE down Pool Bank from the Dyneley Arms.   A visit to “street view”  (courtesy of go ogle) is always reassuring when making arrival plans.  The left turn into the entrance way looks a lot worse than it is.  Once inside the gate there is a sinuous climb to the ridge… and then the view!  Wow! Reversing into the wonderfully spacious bays is a bit tight for a large rig (5m of car, 7.6m of caravan in my case) as there is a high kerb opposite each bay.  But the sheltered privacy is worth the effort….. especially with storm Gertrude expected!  The view is wonderful… I won’t elaborate, go see for yourself! The hook up (with meter) is easy and the helpful booklet with each pitch is… well, helpful.  The electricity charge is modest and with a low energy van I posted £4 into the slot during my 4 day stay. (maximum temperature during the weekend was 3 degrees celcius). Definitely no “loading” on the energy cost here!  Water was close (15m) … but in a lawned area so bring your Crocs or Wellies if rain is forecast.  The toilet disposal is 90m from the caravan… a bracing walk when the wind is howling.  There is hot water and a hand dryer by the sluice… wonderfully considerate; especially for that final trip at the end of the stay when your washroom is locked and the towels have been put away. The O2 phone signal was first rate for data, SMS and calls… as was the 3 (EE) signal.  DAB radio signal was first class.  I did not try the TV reception.  TV is very over-rated… especially when you can look out of the window and see Yorkshire in every direction.  I was in Pool Bank for a music weekend; one event in Leeds, the other in Saltaire so I don’t have a helpful list of “must see” suggestions. Other reviewers have many suggestions. This CL is on my “return again” list.
