Fantastic site for young children and families
Fantastic site. Very friendly and incredibly helpful wardens (from phoning on ahead of us to get discounts on a day out to sourcing a rubber O ring for a gas manifold) who run a really well kept site. Ducks, ducklings, peacock and rabbits roaming freely - boys loved it. Very safe site and felt happy letting them out of sight to cycle round and meet new friends. Our 8 year old actually cried when it came to time for us to leave - he'd enjoyed it so much!
Plenty of really good days out nearby - Bolton Castle, Wensleydale railway, Lightwater Valley, Childrens farm in Bedale and the Forbidden corner - all really recommended and well worth the money.
Was first here over 30 years ago in my childhood - was looking forward to letting the boys explore the old kilns and build dens in the woods, but the woods are now a static caravan park (which illuminates the stone quarry faces a green colour at night which is very pleasant to look at). The kiln refractorys are now all bricked up and fenced off - I guess H&S has got the upper hand here!
Anyway, great site - great location and loved every minute of it.
