Leaving Chatsworths beautiful grounds behind, we pointed Lulu in a Northerly direction and headed for our next destination at Hebden Bridge.
We took our time with the journey with only 50 odd miles to travel so we again kept off the motorway and drove up on A roads through Holmfirth, Huddersfield and Sowerby Bridge.
Once again, we pulled onto an immaculately kept, clean and well organised site with large, flat pitches. We stayed in Lulu and the site managers came out to greet us. They told us where the available pitches were and where the waste disposal points were. We were given our welcome pack and left to pitch up. Having the site fees of £16.45 for gravel hardstanding with EHU, paid by card through Lulu’s passenger window avoided handling cash and this was the go to method of payment for most sites on our tour.
There are no toilet or shower facilities available on site so all visiting units need to be self sufficient in that regard but grey waste, water and chemical disposal points are situated at various locations around the site.
The site is situated on Cragg Vale, and a 10 minute downhill walk brings you to the village of Mytholmroyd with its selection of pubs, a supermarket and small shops. The Shoulder of Mutton is a reasonably priced, dog friendly pub with a great riverside beer garden.
Walking past the supermarket, a path takes you up onto the Rochdale Canal side towpath which can be followed for about 11/2 miles into Hebden Bridge www.penninewaterways.co.uk/rochdale. This is a delightful stroll through banks of weeping willows, past the dark hulks of old mills being reborn as apartments and numerous liveaboard boats of all shapes, sizes and ages.
Being a sunny Sunday afternoon and having just come out of an imposed lockdown, Hebden Bridge was very busy with it’s bars, cafes and restaurants full to bursting www.hebdenbridge.co.uk.
Overall, a great little site in a lovely location. We would definitely recommend this stopover.
