Acre Hill Farm Lane Ends Bolton by Bowland Clitheroe Lancashire BB7 4PH

After the drama of the drive to our last stop, as described in our previous post Yorkshire Tour Day 6- Lulu reaches Wuthering Heights! the journey to Acre Hill Farm CL, Clitheroe, was the complete opposite.
The route took us quite literally over hills and down dales, and the scenery is spectacular. We were able to take our time and enjoy the views, stopping on the way for a very good cream tea in the pleasant, calm surroundings of the Ireby Farm Tea room and shop (thoroughly recommended!)
During dinner, the evening before we travelled to Acre Hill, we received a call to let us know that one of the main routes to the site was closed for roadworks. We double checked our route and, as a result of the call, saved potentially several miles, and an hour or so of sitting in traffic. This strikes me as service above and beyond the usual, a simple five minute call which just made our day easier! This pretty much set the tone for the site as a whole.
The final stretch of the journey to the site is up a steep hill. We were met at the gate by Vicky, who was the one who had rung Kev the night before, who showed us to our pitch.
We loved this site!
Situated where it is, it has stunning, endless, panoramic views. It’s a small site, just six pitches within the field perimeter, with one outside for larger vans. Once again this is a working farm but, unlike Marfit Head, you are separated from the farm by dense, green hedgerows.
There are no shower or laundry facilities, but there is black and grey waste disposal, and fresh water. To be honest the site is so far from “civilisation” the only thing you are going to be dressing up for is hiking over the beautiful hills in the area, or lounging outside your van admiring the stunning countryside, so the lack of the showers really isn’t an issue!
Cost for one night with EHU was £14.00, and YES we would absolutely come to this one again!
