Sunday 23rd August – Thursday 27th August 2009
Approaching this site, either from the north or south is effortless and a good marker is the England flag flying from a flagpole in the front garden. There are two pitching areas, one to the right in the owner’s garden, part of which is sloping. This area has space for a few vans on a hard base but is nearer the main road and can suffer from road noise, especially during the day. The second area is in the flatter top part of an enormous field with good views over the surrounding countryside and is further from the main road.
Apart from the couple of hardstandings the rest of the pitches are on grass. I pitched in the larger field which had well mown grass, but did get soggy during one day when we had heavy continuous rain. Water and rubbish facilities are in the field but the toilet emptying point is on the side of the owner’s house.
There is a pub about a mile to the south on the A588 and a bus service passes the gate but the nearest stop is a few hundred yards to the north. There are pubs and a convenience store at Glasson but more serious shopping is available in Lancaster. A nearby disused railway line is now a coastal cycle and footpath that runs along the side of the Lune Estuary. Lancaster has a large one way road system and for reasons that are not always obvious the going can get slow at busy times. However the centre is interesting and well worth a visit. The coastal town of Morecambe is a short drive from the site. I also found a farm shop just south of Cockerham on the B5272 that sold delicious Gloucester Old Spot sausages and bacon.
