Unpowered grass caravan site

Liked Very basic as described, my first opinion was this ain't for me, walked in to Appleby via the B road which in the summer months is no issue, about 2 miles. We walked to Hilton and the next village up the hill from the site which the view and location were good to see, we had great weather which makes all the difference. Quiet night sleep with no hassle at all.

Disliked Nothing really

Liked Stunning location. Peaceful. Its very much wild camping as theres no toilet or washing facilities. Golf club is local and dinner there is lovely. Beautiful sunsets. Perfect spot. Food at the golf club by the way is very affordable. We had 2 dinners and 2 desserts which came to £33.50. Bargain.

Disliked This is nothing to do with the owner of the land, but I and my partner did not find the people very friendly in the golf club. We're late 30s, early 40s however we are a mixed couple. I didn't feel comfortable there at all being the only mixed race person there. People weren't very friendly, instead just looking at us like we shouldn't be there. A shame because the food was lovely.

Liked A stunning location for a quiet stop over. Lots of free roaming sheep around and the most beautiful scenery. Not far from Appleby for supplies

Local attractions

Where to head first? With both the Lake District National Park (25 minutes’ drive) and the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (15 minutes) so close, you’ll have plenty of options. Go west to Ullswater (40 minutes) for cruises on a steamer, or turn north to tour historic Killhope Lead Mining Museum (an hour) and drive the spectacular Hardside Pass (40 minutes). And if you’d rather discover Cumbria under your own steam, there are cycling routes and hiking trails across the region, with options including the challenging Pennine Way (half an hour) and the Coast to Coast Walk (20 minutes) and the Cumbria Cycle Way (50 minutes). For gentler pastimes combined with a dose of history, have a nose around the crumbling ruins of Lowther Castle and Gardens (half an hour), take a picnic to Penrith Castle (25 minutes) on a sunny day, or check out the landscaped gardens and working watermill at Acorn Bank (20 minutes).
