We were the last to arrive around 3pm and so had no choice of pitch.  Not surprising as it was the Easter weekend.  The wardens were really welcoming.   As with many other pitches number 16 allows you to feel part of the woodland.  The way the site is designed into many sections divided by woodland gives the impression of a much smaller site.  Wherever you are located it isn’t far from one of the two wash blocks both maintained to the usual club standard.   There are lots of lovely walks from the site some besides the river or walk up through the site and into the national trust woodland that leads to Sizergh farm shop, which is brilliantly stocked.  It also has a café that serves good food (but was really busy when we visited) and activities for children.  We walked to Sizergh castle, a NT property and worth a look around the house and gardens.  The Strickland Arms is a welcoming pub providing food, which can be walked to via the woods or the quiet country lane.   Also in walking distance is Levens Hall though we ran out of time to visit so this would be a good excuse to go back.  Cycling around the local lanes is lovely though quite hilly in places we decided that the main road into Kendall was too busy to cycle along in a pleasurable way.
