Wednesday 16th September – Sunday 20th September 2009
The approach to this site is effortless, however it is a little complicated if you come from the direction of Windermere. You need to leave the A591 dual carriageway then follow the signs for Windermere. Just before you rejoin the road in the opposite direction, turn right signposted Shenstone.
The pitching area is in a sloping field at the side of the farm buildings. It has a central road track with pitching on either side. The left side is more level but was still steep enough to prevent me from getting my caravan level. The whole field was in desperate need of a grass cutter, the sheep in the adjacent field would look over the fence with envy. Further on was a second area which was used as a rally field. All the pitches have good views over the River Kent valley and surrounding hills. There is a bit of road noise from the main road but this did not spoil our stay.
A bus service passes through the road junction but the stops are so far away to be of any use. There are two large supermarkets with petrol stations on the outskirts of Kendal, with a third smaller one in the town centre. The Artisan restaurant beneath the Booths supermarket is very popular and is well worth a visit. The National Trust Sizergh [pronounced Size-er] Castle is close by and there is a good farm shop a short drive south on the A590.
