What a beautiful site. We found the wardens welcoming and helpful, the facilities as clean as you would expect from the CC and the wildlife (ducks, pheasant and squirrels) very friendly too, if a little cheeky.If you haven't been towing for long, reading the reviews you may be a little worried about the driving through the archway but a slow approach and you will be fine. Great easy walk from the site, along the river to the Abbey itself. I look forward to persuading my husband that we need to walk more of the Pennines in that area for a return trip.
