Welcome To The Dalesbridge Blog




Hello All!


This is our first blog for the Dalesbridge Centre at Austwick so let me start by bringing everyone up to speed!



If you don't know who we are, we are an all year campsite, with large well drained fields and stunning views! We have cosy, heated en-suite bunkhouses, and a beautiful Bed & Breakfast that we can also let as a self catering house!


This year has been a busy one for us, with lots of exciting events having been held here, including charity functions for '3 peaks' walkers, the Leeds jazz orchestra playing in our bar and a speleology group party!!



The summer kept us busy with hundreds of people joining us every weekend and everyone having a great time.



Winter is closing in now but Dalesbridge never sleeps!! We still have large groups coming in to celebrate birthdays, annual club meetings, Christmas & new year.



Plans for refurbishment and decoration are underway and we hope to unveil a brand new look come next spring, as well as improving our green credentials! (we are in a beautiful place and we want to keep it that way!!)

Dalesbridge is a great place, not just for holidays and parties, but also for animals and birds. We have tawny owls living in the trees on site and hedgehogs have been seen rooting in the undergrowth. Spring was an abundance of chicks and fledglings, and even the odd 'mad march hare' was seen racing around the campsite!
In this blog we will be keeping you up to date with all the goings on at Dalesbridge, as well as keeping you updated on the abundance of wildlife we have all around us!
Please feel free to add any photos or comments that you may have and keep posted for future blogs!!
