Liked: The wild untamed nature of the land . The friendly helpful personalities of the owners Nancy and Jonathon. The "car park" setting adjacent to which were suitable places for placing a table, chair and cooking equipment. The view from my tent opening of the valley below. The availability of an inside annexe within the family home which could be used in an emergency or very bad weather. The low cost -£5.00 per night! An accessible tap which provided clean fresh water.

Liked: Amazing hidden location, great views and proper wild camping. The owners were really welcoming onto their land, and we found a great spot in beautiful woodland. A short hike up a hill with the kit from where the parking is, but well worth it for the wildness. Buzzard nests, owls and birdsong.
Disliked: Nothing - was all great. Probably better for smaller tents, due to the ground levels for pitching and gradient, but still a great wild location.
