Primitive grass campsite
Liked Such a lovely, peaceful and spotless site.
It’s not huge, but each pitch has plenty of space and the facilities are kept incredibly clean.
Jess, the host, is around during the day and always easy to reach if you need anything — really friendly and helpful too.
I also liked the little board by the toilet with useful local info, a nice thoughtful touch.
Jess recommended Mallards Pike, just a 5-minute drive away, which was perfect for an autumn walk. Would happily stay again!
