WOOLLEY BANK FARM - WAKEFIELD [117]




Wednesday 13th May – Sunday 17th May 2009

When I booked this site I was given a code for the electronic gate and you need to park your unit to operate the keypad. I pulled up to the gate but this left my caravan sticking out across part of the roadway. Fortunately the gate moves sideways so it is safe to drive up to it. The pitches are in two grassed areas which slope quiet steeply in places. There are hardstandings but these were occupied by what appeared to be more permanent vans. All the services are around the basic toilet facilities but there is no shower. I approached the site as per the instructions from the Caravan Club, however it can be reached from Woolley Services on the M1, but you need to be aware that this is frowned upon by the local constabulary, you have been warned.

A bus service between Barnsley and Leeds via Wakefield runs along Bretton Lane and there is a large supermarket at nearby Durkar. Plenty to do in surrounding area and the Mining Museum is well worth a visit. There are a few pubs in locality many of which do food. The Emley Moor transmitter is visible from the site so TV reception is good.

Analogue signal good
Digital signal available

£10.00 per night
