Drove here in the glorious Friday evening sunshine, along the endorphin-raising Wrynose Pass, and pitched up. Feels really remote and scenery is really beautiful - was not disappointed! If you love walking, you will love it. If you love gazing at mother’s nature finery, you will also love it.

Had our dinner in candlelight (they do allow campfires BTW, which we did not do - you can buy kindling at Ulpha post office 3 miles down the road) with a bottle of wine and a few beers. Very relaxing and romantic. Felt quite giddy with excitement!

Woke up the next morning to the sound of sheep baaing. Very cute. However, alas, the sunshine didn’t last. Next day’s weather turned very rainy and windy, which made it much more difficult. Esp since our spot was very much in an open field. Would recommend more sheltered area (e.g. 2nd field) to protect from the elements. After trying to secure the tent that had somehow turned into a kite in the gusts of wind, we decided to be truly hardcore and stay the night.

Pub close by (Newfield Inn) has lovely atmosphere and food. Def recommend. Totally yummy homemade spinach and ricotta cheese dish. Delicious!

Used the facilities which were clean and modern. Showers £1 for 3 mins. Don’t forget your pound coins! Good pressure and clean facilities. Farm owners are also nice and friendly.

All in all, I would definitely recommend Turner Hall Farm. Great to get away from it all, but without sacrificing on nice warm showers! Would return – hopefully next time the weather will be less miserable.

Go!
