The moorland breeze carries the scent of heather and sheep-cropped grass, and up here at Bank Top Farm, you're camping with the kind of wide-sky views that make you understand why people pitch tents in the first place.
This is a straightforward site for tenters and campervan owners who want fell-walking access and proper countryside quiet without the trappings of a holiday park. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so it suits couples with a collie in the boot or families happy to explore on foot. The lack of detailed facility listings suggests a traditional working-farm setup — expect the basics rather than bells and whistles, and a landscape that does the heavy lifting.
Campfires are worth asking about on arrival if you fancy an evening by the embers. The vibe is low-key and rural, the kind of place where you say good morning to other campers and spend your days out on the hills. If you're after pools and play areas, look elsewhere; if you want to wake to birdsong and nothing much between you and the horizon, Bank Top delivers.
