It’s a sharp turn into the field. Smaller camper vans should be OK if weather is, and has been, dry …. but I’d prefer to see cars arriving! There’s limited ‘hardstand’ parking available in a nearby field for minibuses - please contact me if this is how you’re arriving – see below. Sorry – no coaches.
There'll be 2 porta loos available.

Note that route from the A66 is very narrow. This is particularly true of the lane onwards from Wythop Mill which is single track with few passing places. So please arrive before 11:30 and don’t leave until after 11:30. This will reduce inconvenience to local residents, so please comply.
