This amazing little site is located in a fairly unlikely spot in a residential area.Β  In effect you enter via a house drive and the site is in the back garden!Β  However, do not let this put you off – it was one of our favourite sites πŸ™‚Β  We were so happy here that we stayed an extra night and had a daytrip to Malham in the Yorkshire Dales rather than move to a site in the dales.

No internet on site, but very good signal if you have your own.

How much is it?Β Β Β Β Β

What’s the area like?Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β 

This site is about 5 miles from Blackpool itself (and it feels like a long drive), but this is a pleasant residential area with local shops and a chippie fairly close by.Β  There’s a nice walk into Knott End where there’s a beach, normal local shops, a nice bistro and a pub (The Bourne Arms)
