Spacious and well situated
Longmeade Farm
“Old School” CL site. Tap, EHUs, chemical disposal. Large flattish slightly sloping site with long grass that, as in the review from six years ago, had just been cut and left so clippings were a constant feature in the van. Beautifully located for extensive views around but not entirely peaceful. There is constant low level road noise from the B4632 that used to be the A46 and has scarily fast traffic. The works site in the next field isn’t at all disturbing. Note that the Club sat nav will take you to the owners house on the main road. The site is not there but up Gravel Pit Lane and through the farmyard. Easy access to Cheltenham and for walking up on Cleeve Common. We had the site to ourselves during fabulous weather in May and is wonderfully private.
Perfect for exploring
Longmeade Farm
Lovely CL set in beautiful scenery with easy access to the stunning Cleeve Hill with great walking routes. Easy access to cycle in the lanes too. Prestbury village is less than 2km with a Sainsbury’s under 3km.
Site address
Longmeade Farm
The site address is shown as Southam Road, along which we travelled in both directions, as were were unable at first to locate the site. It would be better if the address was shown as "Gravel Pit Lane" which is printed in the Sites Directory, and which was recognised by our SatNav. The actual road name sign was largely hidden from view by overgrowth.
The site is affected by noise from an adjacent company's activities, and also here was some road noise from the nearby main road. The surface of the approch road (Gravel Pit Lane) is in a poor state of repair, with pot holes and road "humps", and we were told that the adjacent company should be giving this attention. This is long overdue; towing the caravan along this stretch had to be done very slowly.
When we arrived the grass of the field was in need of cutting, which was done during the week we were there, leaving our caravan and another unit on an "island" of longer grass.
Apart from the above, the site has excellent views of the hills around, and is central for visiting areas in the locality.
Brilliant for visiting Cheltenham and walkers
Longmeade Farm
We stayed here on our way home from Cornwall and it's a great location, just over 2 miles into the town, close to the racecourse and right behind Cleeve Hill with the most amazing views and footpaths for miles. Site itself is clean, scenic and easy to access. Huge field and central electric points so you can park away from others. Lovely owner too. Would return.
