This was our first visit to this site and won’t be our last. We loved the little glades with 4 or 5 pitches in which made the site feel smaller and more cosy. The walk into Coniston was about 1 3/4 miles if you went through the fields and the site next door but slightly less if you went on the old railway line on the other side of the road behind the Ship pub - which is a lovely friendly little pub serving very decent food all afternoon. The bus stop at the site entrance is for the bus to Torver. Buses to Ambleside, Windermere etc go from Coniston itself. Fish and chips are available on site three nights a week and pizza another night.
