phil sorry to bother you again. just printed off the englethwaithe plan view of the site, and it says 2 dog walks, 1 in the top left corner and the other at the bottom of the page, can you get into the walks from both areas just one or from anywhere on the site, i want to be near to the entrance thats all. and as we are staying for over a week which pitches get the sun in the afternoon till it sets, dont want to be in the shade. sorry to be a pain, regards mark

Hi Mark

I would guess the best pitches for sun will be 1-10, they are south facing, obviously I haven`t stopped there as it is so close to home.

High Stand Wood is just up the road, the North Pennines are great walking too, and a lot quieter than the Lakes.

Englethwaite Hall is one of my favourite sites and has one of the best dog walks.

... and if you have a dog some of the best pitches are 54 - 63.

To get to these pitches you drive by them on entering the site so after booking in you have to drive as if your leaving to get back round to them.

Behind the pitches are two large open areas, meadows, which dogs love and this is apart from the dedicated dog walk and the wood which has been mentioned with it's three lakes. You buy a permit from reception if you want to fish them.

I've posted some pics which shows the site far better than I can put into words. We are going again in September for a week.

I forgot to mention the different coloured rhododendron display in April/May.

just joined CCC as user name Barney, put englethwaite hall into its search and it came up with no picture to display. if you could email me direct with the pictures that would be great, millomcumbria@hotmail.co.uk thank you

Lord Braykewynde, its ok, just dug a bit deeper and found your pics on ccc, looks excellent, cant wait, just out of interest what pitch number were you on? that glade behind your van looks great

 

[Lord Braykewynde]

If I recall correctly it was pitch 61 Mark.

Hopefully in September it will be vacant for us but you can't really go wrong with any of pitches in the ones I listed. Even pitches 17-23 and 41-44 will be ok and give you direct access to those meadows or the dog walk itself.

On the site plan between pitch 44 and 55 the square shown is the steps left over from when it was a stately home and those lead onto the meadow/dog walk.
