At the western end of the Yorkshire Dales National Park Bullpot Farm is the hub of the Red Rose C.P.C. activities and you will find members there most weekends of the year. Visiting clubs and individuals are welcome, and the Farm facilities for visitors and members have recently been upgraded. The building is fitted with full central heating. We now have separate visitors and members self-catering kitchens and three dormitories with Alpine style bunks (sleeping bags required). The Club has upgraded the showers, toilets, changing and drying facilities. The changing area is serviced by electric showers, underfloor heating and has rope-washing facilities. There is also a separate heated drying room (cash needed). The two spacious common rooms have wood-burning stoves. Cooking is by butane gas and both kitchens have a fridge, hobs, oven and microwave. There is ample parking within our own compound at front and rear of building including security lighting and CCTV coverage. The rear garden can accommodate several tents if needed.

Club social events take place on some weekends in which guests are welcome to participate.

Situated high on Casterton Fell at the western end of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the gateway to the Ease Gill and Three Counties System, Britain’s longest cave, it is an ideal base for exploring the many caves of Yorkshire Dales. It also allows access to the nearby fells of Gragareth (627m), Great Coum (687m), Crag Hill and Barbon Fell. More information about the Yorkshire Dales can be found at Yorkshire-dales.com
