RIDGEFIELD COTTAGE NURSERY - KNARESBOROUGH [118]




Sunday 17th May – Thursday 21st May 2009

This site is easy enough to find but approach it slowly as the sign is obscured by trees and is not visible until the last minute. The pitches are all in a level grassed field which became waterlogged during my stay, and front wheel drive towing vehicles had difficulty getting traction. Even a front wheel drive motor home had to be towed by the owners’ tractor. Pitch fees are £12.50 per night but that does include a free shower. The toilet and shower are in a wet room that is modern and clean and also houses a small information point.

Buses between Ripon and Harrogate via Knaresborough pass the entrance. But there are only stops on the uphill route. However a driver told me the stop on the downhill route is opposite the uphill one. I went into Harrogate on the bus with the intention of looking around, doing a bit of shopping then having a pint. Did the shopping but could not find a pub in the centre of town, plenty of wine bars and bistros selling food, but not one pub. Shame really.

There is a supermarket about a mile away and a pub that does food within walking distance in the opposite direction.

Analogue signal good
