This is our second visit to this site and apart from the dog walk field being ;most to redevelopment it was the same lovely site. As we don't like to move our motorhome after arrival, location ids important. The site has buses available at the gate and near direct access into Deepdale Nature Reserve with a shortish walk into Barnard Castle or numerous footpaths further into the Reserve. Barnard Castle has plenty of Shops and eateries as well as the famous Bowes Museum. We caught a bus to Middleton in Teesdale and walked back, partly along the Teesdale Railway Path, about 11 miles. A gentle walk with pub stops possible at Romaldkirk or Cotherstone. Previously I had walked the more strenuous Teesdale Way along the river from Middleton to Barnard Castle, another great walk. The proximity of the road is only a bit intrusive for pitches by the road and during the dy. At night there is no problem. Would highly recommend this site.
