@Fishd@infosec.exchange The new place has some good beers on (no Hawkshead, obv!) and More and Wilf's each still seem to be doing ok but are undeniably quieter. I don't think so many folk park there to go off and ride/walk as used to. The Mill Yard used to be used as a park and ride place for those with free bus passes to get to Windermere. I can see why that pissed off the yard owner and the businesses there too.

@pete@masto.hypertelia.com Yeah, I used to go there to park and ride up to Kentmere etc... day would start with breakfast at Wilfs and then a pint afterwards... Shame, it's a small site and parking can be a nightmare... only made worse by the recent houses built there I imagine (just hope that they're local residents and not just holiday lets)... so I'm not suprised the fees came in, though they are pricey so I worry that it's only going to be wealthier visitors that can stop by. Staveley is a lovely village.
