We stayed at this lovely site for two nights 13th to 15th May 2016 in Bessie (our motorhome) We were attending the 1940's Wartime weekend in Howarth and this was an ideal site from which to travel. Friends drove over for the day and we took the steam train from Oxenhope to Howarth (great fun) The new wardens Steve and Dee are a delightful couple and gave us a really warm welcome. They directed us to our choice of pitches and where to full up our onboard tank. We had pitch 27 with EHU which overlooks the small river below. The pitch benefitted from the early morning sunshine and we were able to breakfast outside which was a treat! There are no showers or toilets on this site but that was not a problem and is perfectly clear on the website. Plenty of bins and of course Chemical disposal point. The site is a 50 minute walk along the canal tow path to Hebden Bridge which is well worth the effort. Full marks to the site and Steve and Dee, they even got us thinking about a complete career change! Thank you we will return!
Lovely welcome and nice small site. No facilities but we knew this before we booked. Shame the Motor home point is on the way out and on the wrong side but luckily there was nobody staying nearby so we were able to reverse onto a pitch to turn and face the right way. The Wardens were great and allowed us to stay until 4pm on the day of our departure which was a real bonus. There are some great walks nearby. The dog walk is at the back of the site. A bit muddy and slippy but good enough for a quick walk. We walked to Hebden Bridge down the canal way which took about 50 minutes on the first day and on the second we walked to NT Gibson Mill and Hardcastle Crags which is about an 8 mile circular walk. It's a lovely area and would return.
