Camping at Standedge on Pennine Way
Q. We are walking the Pennine Way in August and need to locate a campsite very near Standedge.
Globe Farm is no longer taking campers and they couldn't/wouldn't recommend anyone.
Anyone have any suggestions???
Thanks

A. There's a pub on the Yorkshire side of Standedge cutting which allows camping 'round the back' for a couple of quid. I can't remember the name of the pub, unfortunately, but its next to a sailing club and the food and beer are very good!
There's also pitches just short of Standedge near a reservoir, or just short of the M62, to the East of the trail. The main problem around here is that most water supplies are polluted with iron oxides and are various shades of orange/red.
Springs of clear water are often found low down the sides of gills or gullies.

A. Will be walking Pennine Way in May/June, camping all the way ... The only concern was Standedge so have just reccied the area. Great Western Inn Approx 500 yds off route: Allows camping in back garden and use of washing/toilet facilities during opening hours. This is free but donation to Air Ambulance would be appreciated. The Carriage House (Inn). Approx 500 yds past Great Western: Proper campsite with shower/toilet block.

A. Hi, there are 2 places you can camp at Standedge.
Come off the Pennine Way at Standedge, turn right on the main A62 road about 1 mile is the Great Western "pub". You can camp round the back providing you have a drink or pay a few quid but I had a meal and a pint.
The prices are reasonable the people really nice. They put the money for the camping into the Mountain Rescue box.
The other pub, called the Carriage House does camping food etc . . .but I have not been.
Good Luck
PS. Only problem is they [are] shut Mondays.
