As you would expect, Hawes is a lovely site, kept really carefully by very friendly and helpful wardens. Pitches, toilet blocks etc are great. However if you are thinking of booking then think about the following. It is situated just on the edge of Hawes. It is a two minute walk into town. Lots of great pubs, cafes and lots of independent shops. The street market was inside the market hall as it was a bit windy. The farmers market and auction house is just around the corner and adds some authenticity to a busy working town. The Wensleydale creamery is in the town although we thought it was too much gift shop and cafe rather than creamery. The walking is straight off the site. We were doing the waterfalls and really liked Aysgill force not far. We also visited Hardraw force although the pub charges an admission fee! Not really in the spirit of the area. You should really stay at this site because of its fantastic location, the facilities are a given. The views, scenery and countryside are the real winners here. A lovely place to be.
