Attractive sunny, spacious site with lovely orchard on three sides. Can pitch caravan on grass, or, if wet weather, can pitch backing on to grass but keeping caravan wheels on gravel – then you have the best of both worlds. Friendly owners.
Adjoining very small car park screened by small trees is used by mothers and babies coming to occasional classes in building on the site. The cafe mentioned in earlier reviews is no longer open. In the season there is “pick your own” plums and apples.
Good value (we paid £15 a night), but need own toilet paper and 50p coin for shower. If you are washing your hair you might need 2 x 50p. I would prefer to pay a pound or two more to have these included – it is inconvenient when you forget to take the toilet paper or the 50p! Electricity is metered and charged when you leave at 30p a unit – although we have not had this before on other sites it is fair enough, as I expect some people may be wasteful.
Pershore is a beautiful nearby Georgian market town with an amazing Abbey in the middle of the town surrounded by a small park for all the family. You can park free next to Pershore Bridge on the SE corner of the town and walk the ten minutes into the centre past beautiful houses on Bridge Street/High Street/Broad Street. Remember to stand on Pershore Bridge, the scene of civil war skirmishes between the Royalists and the Roundheads in the mid 1600s. Very good information centre in the Town Hall on High Street, with Heritage Centre upstairs.
You can also walk the other way from Pershore Bridge the short distance on a path to the pretty village of Wick where there are visitor information boards around the village, but nowhere to buy anything to eat, unfortunately.
Worcester is very interesting with a Cathedral and many half-timbered buildings. We visited Greyfriars House and The Guildhall (several floors) – both fascinating, but did not have time to see more. The visitor information centre is next to the Guildhall, on High Street.
Near Worcester is The Firs, the wonderful Elgar's Birthplace Museum, gardens and visitor centre – we spent a day there, including a one hour talk. Also Croome Court is near Worcester, with RAF Museum on same site – both excellent with incredible Capability Brown views all round the mansion.
The Malvern Hills and Cotswolds are near for walking and long views.
