Why stay here ...
Our CL is on a 350 acre farm which is a working arable farm but run with wildlife and horses in mind. We have a family of four sons one of whom is eventing full time hence the equestrian facilities including a cross country course which is available for hire.
The CL site is located next to the horse dressage area in a quiet, small grass field enclosed by hedges. There are 5 hard standing pitches all with their own electric (16 amp) and water supplies. Pitches 1 and 2 are extra large and level and suitable for RV's and/or caravans. Each pitch is wide enough for your awning to be on the hard standing.
Adults, children and pets are all welcome (although please do not allow dogs to roam the woods as there are nesting birds). There is access to toilets in the Farm Buildings. All waste disposal and rubbish disposal is available in the corner of the site next to the recycling bin by the entrance to the field. It is sometimes possible to bring horses or ponies by prior arrangement.
We are in a very quiet area (designated as an 'area of outstanding natural beauty') just outside the village of Arkesden. We are half way between junctions 8 and 10 of the M11 (there is no junction off at 9!) very close to the market town of Saffron Walden and Audley End House. The Imperial War Museum at Duxford is 15 mins away. There are several public golf courses nearby and trout and coarse fishing available in the village.
The Axe and Compass pub in the village is extremely popular and very good, has been run by the same family for the last 20 years, and is a 10 minute walk from the farm. There are numerous other good pubs locally including a Thai pub in the next village. Booking is recommended for all of them particularly at weekends.

Perfect CL
Severals CL
Having booked Severals CL for the August Bank Holiday weekend, we ended up staying a further two days because we just loved it there! So relaxed. The location is stunning, local places to visit, the welcome was warm, the site spacious, the rural location peaceful and all within a 15 minute walk of the newly refurbished pub! Facilities basic but available if you need them and remember you are staying on a CL not a club site so were all extras as far as we were concerned!! Agree that WiFi to the pitches would be nice but not crucial. Cannot recommend this CL enough, perfect!
So peaceful
Severals CL
Lovely location and very clean facilities. Staying for two nights but could easily stay longer and just chill out.
We do geocaching and lots in the area to walk too. The village is beautiful with lots of thatch cottages and unusually marked cob walks. Pub, although looks great, is shut as serious fire earlier in the year. On course to open October.
Micheal responds very quickly and sent us useful information by email. Definitely recommend this site.

Just what I expect from a CL
Severals CL
We chose this site as we were going to a concert at Audley End. We stayed for 3 nights. It’s a great location for walking, cycling and local attractions. Audley end house (English Heritage) is c3 miles away and well worth a visit. Saffron Waldon is a lovely market town and the Pizzas at Audley end station are excellent. The local pub was closed for rebuilding but is due to reopen shortly. We will definitely be back for another visit.
One night stay to break up journey
Severals CL
This was a convenient location for us to stop on our journey north. The owner came to say hello and was very friendly. The facilities (toilet, kitchen, black waste) were basic. I don’t mind basic if the price reflects the facilities but for £25 we have stayed at locations with much more for our pennies!
Lovely site for dry conditions
Severals CL
Considering how close the site is to the M11 and Stansted Airport, it's incredibly quiet with just a bit of aircraft noise in the evening. Each pitch has EHU and water tap, with grey waste going straight into the hedge.
The only problem we had was the mud. We visited at the end of March, when the area had seen quite a lot of rain. Pitches are hardstanding, but access from the drive is across sloping grass. The owner has put some mesh under the grass with small white markers to show where the edges are, but our 2 wheel drive car struggled even after we'd unhooked the van. Thankfully Michael and his 4x4 were on hand to get us pitched.
Being on the Essex/Cambridgeshire/Hertfordshire borders, there is plenty to do in the area & we found some lovely footpaths to walk. Highly recommend the Thai food at Ananta (former Coach & Horses pub) in the next village.
We would be happy to return, but only after a sustained spell of dry weather!
