Wednesday 14th October – Sunday 18th October 2009 Saturday
The only problem I would envisage when approaching this site is that you will drive right past it. The best marker is that the entrance is just before the 40MPH sign when travelling east and just after the de-restriction when going the other way.
All the pitches are hard with an area to pitch an awning but there isn’t enough room to park your car, so this must be left in front of your caravan. The site is sloping but has good views over the River Wharf valley and surrounding hills. The friendly owners are available between 6 and 8 PM if you need any advice or local information. This site is very popular throughout the year, especially at weekends so it is advisable to book well in advance and you need to check if it is ok to stay after midday on the day of departure. Another annoying issue is that my daughter and her family tried to book a pitch but the site was fully booked. However someone didn’t turn up because one pitch was empty for most of my stay. This may have been cancelled for genuine reasons but CL owners are telling me that ‘no shows’ are becoming increasingly common.
Ilkley is very popular with tourists and parking is limited. The site is within walking distance of the town and there is a bus stop near to the site entrance. The rail line to Leeds terminates in the town and buses to Leeds, Keighley and Skipton pass the entrance. There are plenty of shops, pubs and restaurants in the town and there are two supermarkets.
Analogue signal available
No digital signal until 2011
