Liked: Nice and flat. Even though there had been rain, grassed areas firm. Great walks near by, see otters in river. Good view.
Disliked: With no electricity or welfare facilities, price was a little high.

Liked: Loved this place. We loved the superb views across the River Wharfe valley, the open space, the viaduct, the sunset, the rabbits...mustn't forget the rabbits...the tranquility, the feeling of being away from it all, the birdsong, the lowing cows down by the river, the distant bleating of sheep... We liked Farmer Paul... and we liked watching the occasional train scoot across the viaduct...we pitched up, we sat, we chilled, we chatted, we played a bit of cricket and chucked a frizbee about. We looked out, we spotted rabbits, we listened out, we heard birds, we loved the space and having this beautiful little corner of Yorkshire to ourselves! We sat some more, we chatted, we recharged, we watched the sky darken and the sun light up the clouds in pinks and oranges, we made ourselves a twinkly camp with fairy lights, we had our tea, we looked for rabbits in the dark, we couldn't see them but heard them thump out their alerts to each other like rabbit morse code...we listened out for night creatures...was it a barn owl screeching or something else? We went to bed late and slept like logs till it was time to get up...the rabbits were up before us. That's when we saw the red kite scouring the railway embankment for rabbits...did I mention the rabbits before? Ahh...simplest pleasures...lots of countryside to explore and yet so close to Harrogate, York or Leeds.
Disliked: 'Nowt! ...Except for having to leave after only one night to drive to London and return to work.

Liked: Peace and quiet, the views. Alongside a railway track, but it is high above the site and did not disturb us, was fascinating watching the trains cross the viaduct. Enjoyed watching the rabbits, and the cows with their calves.
Disliked: Nothing
