One of the CMCs best sites. Good facilities, well looked after and cared for by a team of brilliant wardens. Must be the best dog walk on the network too. Hawes has everything you require as long as it’s not a Supermarket, and it’s close to the site. Grocery shops, Butchers, Pubs a plenty, numerous cafes. Plus a variety of independent shops. I did miss the Newsagent this time though. Popular attractions are the Dales Countryside Museum and the Wensleydale Creamery. All set in the most beautiful Dales Countryside. Several local walks and longer hikes for the more energetic. Keen cyclists can zoom up and down the hills without too much vehicle competition. Dales bus and the Little White bus provide a limited service if you want to leave your car parked. Walks around Askrigg and Bainbridge both with tea rooms and Pubs should refreshment be required. A small Tuesday market in Hawes but the Leyburn Friday market possibly a better bet. Note the club and local tourist signs advertise the Ropemakers but that closed a while ago.
