Lovely location in ancient NT woods, like Kendal site rather dark but head out of either top or bottom and your by the lake or amongst the hills. Walk to the Ship Inn pub about 25 mins, the path did get flooded so wellies or boots needed, great atmosphere and food. Walk to Coniston, gravel/tarmac solid about 40 mins. Plenty of cafes and a few pubs and shops. Obviously the Old Man of Coniston walk and many great dog walking opportunities. However, I was very disappointed with the poor bus service, with a bus stop outside the site I had expected a regular service but sadly not. Even from Coniston there was literally only 1 early in the morning with a couple return in the afternoon! For motorhomers this is no good.
