 My husband and I recently stayed at Dale Hey Touring Park near Ribchester. What a find! The owners John and Catherine were most welcoming and very accommodating as we had originally booked for 4 days, but were able to extend it to 14 days! The site itself was without doubt one of the best (if not the best) site that we have stayed on. The thought, time and effort put in by John and Catherine has resulted in a site with excellent facilities (toilet and showers extremely good) and beautifully landscaped areas. The site itself is interestingly laid out with several different areas for caravans and also tents. On site there is a 14 acre wood with a mown walkway through it which makes for a very relaxing walk in peaceful surroundings. John keeps the grounds in superb condition and the care taken really shows. From the site there are beautiful views of the surrounding countryside which includes Pendle Hill in the distance. There are a great many places to visit, to eat and drink within a short drive.
We were sad to leave but our thanks to John and Catherine for a most enjoyable stay. We are looking forward to returning as soon as we can.
We would highly recommend a visit to the Dale Hey Touring Park.

A clean, tidy and pleasant site in lovely surroundings a short walk from the village of Ribchester.
Facilities are modern and well maintained, although they may be stretched when the site is busy. The local buses to Clitheroe and Blackburn stop on request out side the site entrance which is handy as the walk back from the village is uphill. In addition to the Roman Museum the village has 3 pubs, one of which, the Ribchester Arms, does good but expensive food, another, the Black Bull does not do food but does do very good, cheap beer!
This is a lovely are to visit and the site is a perfect stop over en route to Scotland. Our only complaint was that whilst the site has great TV reception the lack of WiFi prevented a longer stay. We wil definitely return to explore the area more fully when WiFi installed.

Had a two night stay and on arrival the owner was very pleasant and very informative. The site is spotless and all facilities were clean. It is extremely well laid out and we enjoyed walking around the woods directly on the site. Ribchester was a 20 minute walk and the children's play area there was great. We enjoyed visiting the Roman museum. We will definitely be returning to this site.

I just love this site! Cannot believe the beauty of the site! Toilets very clean, owners are very helpful! Such a quiet Jewel in the RibbleValley! Good pubs near by! Lots of walks too. Also pretty little natural planted wood on site 12 acres to walk around! Would love to be selfish and keep this place to myself, but it's needs to be seen by other caravaners! You won't be disappointed ! No kids play area but the little woods make up for the play they need! If the kids need a play area! The play area in Ribchester will out do their needs,

This site is a favourite of the UK Fire Service Camping and Caravan club for rallies. Set in the scenic Ribble Valley there are lovely views over the local rolling green hills and valleys. The owners John and Catherine are very friendly and helpful and they keep very well maintained pitches and grounds, including their own large woodland. In the reception area there is a wealth of information including local walks from the campsite and around the historic Roman settlement of Ribchester. They have a large barn for hire at very reasonable rates for meetings/functions, many pitches have hard standing and electrics, the shower/toilet blocks are immaculate as are the landscaped gardens. We highly recommend this site for both rallies and holiday breaks for individual tourers and campers. We came here last year, loved it so we also came this year and we have already booked for next year.

This was our first visit to this lovely site and we were made very welcome by the owner Catherine. We were shown to our pitch which was perfect as we have a large dog who can be quite noisy and we have to put windbreaks up to obscure his view of other dogs, with this pitch we had plenty of room. To do so. The walk through the woods was very nice and the bluebells were lovely. Ribchester was a short walk away the Spar shop is well stocked and Longridge is just a short drive away. I would recommend a visit to Beacon Fell its a great place for a good walk.

Just got back from visiting dale hey farm touring park. As usual we got a very warm welcome.
Yet again Catherine & John have gone the extra mile, john has made a beautiful dog, wellie, bike wash area. What more can you want.
It's a credit to you John, we will be back when we are dog sitting again(later this year).
We have been going to this site since 2003 first as ralliers and now as retired teenagers. And we have seen the hard work you have put in. It's a pleasure to caravan on your site.
You can certainly show the big boys how a site should be run.
From spotless showers & toilets to great pitches, lovely walks with or without a dog, and now the dog wellie bike wash, what ever next.
The awards & trophies you have received are so well earned (rvta trophy & certificates ).
This is a site not to be missed>
Thank you for all your hard work. It's a pleasure to visit your site.

Just returned from this site after spending 3 weeks here. The upgrades they have done are noted as soon as you enter site (how many sites have dog and boot wash undercover). John and Catherine deserve all the praise for their efforts, and I for one will be returning many times to this peaceful place.

Our first time caravanning and although novices were made extremely welcome by Catherine and John. The whole site was extremely clean and tidy and was obviously well looked after. Nothing was too much trouble for our hosts and would highly recommend the site for a quiet stay and a great place to chill out. The shower block and toilets were to a very high standard being very clean and kept that way.

Yet another enjoyable rally at Dale Hey. A great location to visit, with so much to see in the area. Always surprised at how much this caravan park improves each time we are here. Many more flowers and wooden fencing around the flower beds, etc. Very natural and in keeping with the nature of the area. John and Catherine are truly hard working and always available to answer any queries. Nothing too much trouble for them. Already booked to return again next year.

Just returned from a wonderful weekend at Dale Hey, it was our first outing in our new tourer and we couldn't have picked a better site. On arrival we were greeted warmly, shown to our pitch and given a full overview of the site and lots of local information, which was great and really helpful.
We've camped in the past and I have to say this is one of the nicest sites we've been on; it's lovely. The toilet and shower block is warm and spotlessly clean with plenty of hot water that you don't have to pay for. We have two dogs and the woodland walk which is part of the site was great for exercising them with bins along the route for their mess. It's such a neat, pretty site with great views, perfect for relaxing.
Ribchester is a 10 minute walk away, we didn't try any of the pubs so can't comment on those.
We will definitely return and wouldn't hesitate in recommending.

This was our second visit to this site, the last one being quite some time ago. We haven't revised our view of the site, its still a beautifully kept site. The field for caravans allows for hardstanding with an area of grass for recreation with each van. There's plenty of water points, large camping field. Dog walk through woods with bins along the way. All kept clean and neat with the grass cut regularly. Plenty of garden areas with flowers etc. , Ladies facilities are lovely and beautifully kept clean no matter what time of day even in busy periods like this Bank Hol Weekend. The showers are large but there are only two, whilst in quieter periods this is probably ok busy periods like this weekend meant queueing up for the shower, I waited fifteen minutes one day. Puts you off a little so a few more facilities are definitely required. The gents have the same facilities but my Husband says the showers are on the small side and again could do with more.
The owners Catherine and John are really nice people and they work very hard to keep this site at its current standard and one can see they are striving to improve all the time.
One other point to mention, although we didn't have children, it would be good to have a small climbing frame or play area for the children.

This is a lovely spacious well kept site with stunning views over the Ribble valley and surrounding hills. It's handy for visiting the Trough of Bowland AONB and its villages and Ribchester itself is well worth a visit. The warm welcome and helpfulness from owners Catherine and John was the cherry on the cake. We've already booked to come back again and we highly recommend the special mid-week deals they offer for bus pass holders.

Really nice people running this quiet well maintained site. Been several times on our own & with the grand kids. They enjoyed the freedom & made lots of friends played football cricket together we couldn't get them in & they would have continued with torches if we had let them. There were tears when we left. 20 minutes stroll into Ribchester there is a pavement & it's lit most of the way, there are a few pubs that also serve food, we have not eaten in them but they seem ok. Also a really good park for the kids, Roman remains & of course the river. There was a music festival running over a week last time we visited catering for lots of different tastes it's on again this year Ribfest 18-24th July 2016. We'll be paying it a visit again this year I'm sure & it's only 45 minutes drive from Blackpool.

Spent last weekend at Dale Hey and can highly recommend this site. The facilities excellent; toilets/showers spotlessly clean. There is a lovely 12 acre woodland walk on the site, great if you have a dog as we do. The site is in a nice quiet location just outside Ribchester with open views across Lancashire to Pendle Hill. There is no play area for kids but there is plenty of open space for them to play. Hard standing pitches for caravans/motorhomes are a good size and do not feel too closed in.
There are 3 pubs in Ribchester, all about 1 mile walk. Only the Ribchester Arms does food at the moment but understand The White Bull is due to start in a few weeks. Both pubs are excellent beer pubs and the food at the Ribchester Arms is heartily recommended. The village is lovely and well worth spending some time exploring, in particular take time to see the remains of a Roman bath house on the banks of the River Ribble. This is about a 20 minute walk from the site.
My last comment is reserved for the owners; we met John a couple of times during our stay, he was very friendly and helpful. In summary, we will definitely return to this site.
