Lovely site but plan bike rides with care.
This is an excellent site, easy to find and with immediate access onto cycle paths. The staff and facilities were superb and I loved the magical fairy lights behind the toilet block-such a thoughtful touch. I cannot fault the site itself and would highly recommend. However, as cyclists, we did find that, once we were a few miles away from the site, the paths were often poorly maintained and sometimes covered in broken glass or even fenced off completely. We found that by cycling to nearby Thornaby Station, we could take the train beyond the rougher paths and pick up some glorious routes such as Redcar to Saltburn. But the short ride recommended on the site's website is lovely although, at the time of writing, the transporter bridge is closed so you have to turn round again from there! But well worth seeing anyway.
