Access Notes:
The site is situated at the top of a hill. This makes for some brilliant views but it also means access can be a little tricky. There is a low sloping bridge with a strict height restriction of 2.6m and a tight hair-pin bend on a hill. Campervans are welcome but the site is not suitable for motorhomes.  Trailer tents are welcome onsite but the hair-pin bend may not be suitable if it is your first time towing. Caravans are not permitted onsite.
