No Amenities Block - No Problem!
In 8 years of caravanning we have never been to a site without a toilet/shower block. Why? Goodness knows - the very fact there is no block means that site has an altogether different vibe. I should imagine a family in a caravan would be forever emptying the toilet, but sure some are happy to do this.
On to the site - perfect location, well kept and extremely helpful wardens. Hebden Bridge is actually a couple of miles up the road - no problem for walkers - there is a safe canalside route, and a separate path route. There are road footpaths all the way, safe and well lit to walk back in the dark. Having said that, the proximity means a taxi / bus is relatively cheap.
Would recommend walking up Cragg Vale to the White House Inn at the top - you'll need the local OS map if unfamiliar with the area, but the paths are well defined
The Shoulder of Mutton pub in Mytholmroyd is within walking distance and has recently reopened after an extensive refurbishment following the floods of Boxing Day. The pub used to be run by a rather dour old gentleman (and that's being on the kind side!) but the new owners have created a fresh welcoming pub with a good reputation for food and real ale.
The Robin Hood pub further up Cragg Vale, also accessible by foot is also good - ale and food top quality.
The Hinchliffe Arms also excellent, a bit "posher" but great hospitality all round.
So to sum up, the site is EXCELLENT and we wish we had visited before and got over our "no block" boycott!
