Lovely stay at Knaresborough
We received a very warm welcome from the warden and it was a quick process to choose our pitch. This is a lovely site with large pitches. It is peaceful and well looked after. There are two toilet blocks, one newer one attached to the cafe/bar and a larger, older one further on into the site. The older block is showing its age and could do with some refurbishment but it was very clean. It is good that they are not both cleaned at the same time. We did use the bar and it was nice to sit outside in the sunshine but the food menu is quite limited. It is a short walk to the nearest pub, The Guy Fawkes Arms, in Scotton which was very nice and serves good food.
We enjoyed walking along the River Nidd into Knaresborough - it is a very pleasant walk but beware there are a few inclines to navigate. We were hoping to be able to cycle into Knaresborough but the main road just outside the site was far too busy. The bus stop is literally right outside the site and we used the service to go into Knaresborough and then catch a train to Harrogate. Harrogate is a lovely place with some great shops and we enjoyed a lovely meal at La Feria, a Spanish tapas restaurant. Trains are very frequent to Harrogate and Leeds. All in all we we enjoyed our long weekend at this site.
