Wortley Hall CL, Wortley, Sheffield, S35 7DB, Tel 01142882100
Having closed initially in 2022 the good news is that they have reopened as a CL in 2024.
To Find Site:- Leave M1 at junction 35A and take A616 and then A 629
signed for Huddersfield. In the village of Wortley there is first a
sharp right and then a sharp left bend in the road. It is here you take
a right turn into Wortley Hall, take the road on the left through the
gates. Follow the signs for the campsite and park by the gates. Report
to reception which is at the front of the Hall. They will provide you
will a key to the gate into the CL and make your way to your allocated
pitch.
This delightful CL is situated behind the Hall in a garden come parkland
setting with lovely shrubs and trees. The five pitches are separated by
hedges. Each has a
hardstanding base which is big enough just for the unit and awnings, if
used, have to be erected on the adjacent grass. The hardstandings vary
in size so if you have a longer unit it would probably be best to
mention this when booking. The pitches do have a slope on them and
levelling will be required. Motorhomers should be aware that probably a
minimum of 4/6 inch chocks will be required to be completely level. You
are warned of this requirement on the CL webpage. There are two electric
bollards with multiple connections. Just across from the pitches is a
neat and professional water and rubbish collection area. There are
separate fresh and waste water points and the chemical disposal point is
in its own small shed. There is no specific motorhome waste point so
water has to be decanted from your waste tank. Further away from the
pitching area housed in one of the outbuildings are two nice luxurious
quality bathrooms containing a toilet, shower and sink, access is by a
coded door entry. Given the space in the lobby I wonder if the intention
is to provide more facilities in addition to the bathrooms?
There is no Wifi on the CL but
apparently this is available at the Hall. I was able to get a reasonable
4G signal here which enabled me to use the internet. We managed to get a
decent TV picture on our directional aerial after a bit of experimenting
with the direction. Wortley Hall has a lot of visitors, especially at
the weekends, and sometimes they stray onto the CL, probably by
following the wrong path!
When you stay at this CL you are free to wander around the grounds of
Wortley Hall and its gardens. If you fancy a bite to eat or a drink the
Fire Brigade Union Bar is at your disposal for either bar snakes or bar
meals. The Ruddy Duck Restaurant offers an À la carte menu if you wanted
something a bit more special. The village of Wortley is only a short
walk away, albeit uphill. There is a small village stores which also
incorporates a post office and café. In addition there is a pub and a
small Farm Shop. A bus service runs between Sheffield and Holmfirth but
is pretty infrequent.
