Space large enough for about 5 campers. Beautiful views of the Yorkshire Dales. A few cars passing at night but nothing of the unexpected. No facilities & ground uneven with big pot holes. Would stay again.
Lovey place to stay for the night. Stunning views. Used as a half way point to Scotland as was just off the motorway. Really quite spot. Would stay here again.
Drove past this initial stop, as mentioned in the comments to another parking area on the right over the cattle grid. Was much nicer and fantastic dog walk :) lovely views and although you can hear cars in the distance it isn’t too bad :)
Erg ongelijke bodem en nogal wat rommel in de berm. Niet erg aantrekkelijk. wij zijn even doorgereden naar de onverharde natuur parkeerplek even verderop. Is mooier.
Keep on B6260 as postcode takes you to some houses . Lay-by is on left, beautiful views and a walk for the dog. Was woke up at 6am by a passing car honking his horn but other than that had a good night sleep. If there is no space here drive over cattle grid and there is another pull in on the right. We found this the next morning, much nicer ?
A great spot as you climb the hill out of Orton on the Appleby road, if you go over the cattle grid you have just missed it. a good amount of space and reasonably sheltered with fabulous views. We had a reasonably undisturbed night after 11pm apart from a local who parked up in his pick up to, once we decided he wasn't a massive murderer we slept well. Visit Orton Scar cafe for fab breakfast
Really lovely spot. Fairly sheltered with some great walks from here. I have to keep it to four stars because four of the finest local youth turned up in a lovely, loud Corsa and made several visits so I bravely ran away.
Great view, very quiet. Reasonably flat and quite large. Excellent 4g signal. Some traffic on road till 10pm ish then nothing till morning. Windy but if you park right you have your sliding door open and be shielded. Easily space for 8-10 vans. Zero services but the price is right. Ideal stop off for a trip to Scotland.
Superb stopover. The site is flat, hard and free- draining. Hardly any noise from the road and at night it was totally quiet. Oh, the views are to die for :-)
Stayed last night, managed to get a reasonably flat pitch, we were the only ones there. Excellent reception on 3 mobile. Excellent views and very quiet. Reasonably sheltered from the wind , if you manage to get up the small track at the back of the car park.
Slightly sloping gravel parking at top of steep hill above Orion. Beautiful views, slightly protected from the wind. Busy fast road and cattle grid close by which you can hear. Nice walking paths all over . Spend reasonably quiet night. Good one night stop.
A fantastic little stop. Some potholes but ground very flat. Not a lot of traffic passing by and the lay-by is big enough so you are not right close to the road anyway. No toilets or water nearby, so facilities in van are a must. Plenty of nice walks around.
A tad wet at the minute (mid April 2023), ground very undulated, difficult to get level without your ramps. plenty of space though, we were the only ones present for the one night on Saturday. Although on a B road, it's quite busy, even early on a Sunday morning. Minimal 4G signal on O2 and EE.
fantastic views, large parking area, some large water filled potholes at the time i visited, quite a busy road, cattle grid a short distance away, relatively sheltered( in my opinion) nice area to go walking, i walked upto the monument and to view the other parking areas up the road which also have fantastic views but perhaps abit more exposed
Great views and plenty of space, road noise only once people started thier day. Nice walk in morning up to Beacon Hill where the 360 deg view is amazing.
Great spot, 4 miles from the motorway. Very easy to find even in the dark. plenty of flat ground amongst the craters. Road noise fine. Brilliant stop off to break up a Scotland run
Nice spot but lots of cars passing at night and especially early morning. a few tooting horns as well.
very windy and exposed.
lots of potholes in this area as well.
otherwise a pleasant place to stop
