Why stay here ...

** Electric Hook ups **

Gregorys Field is situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the Vale of Aylesbury and Chiltern Hills on the Buckinghamshire/Hertfordshire border - it is perfectly placed to explore one of the most beautiful areas of Southern England. This is where the TV series Midsomer Murders was filmed.

Tucked away in a secluded meadow, well sheltered by hedges and trees, the site is part of the land of the Gregory Family who trace their roots back in the area to the 13th Century. Quiet and rich in wildlife, the surrounding farm land has a network of public footpaths and leafy lanes that provide easy access by walking or cycling to the nearby villages of Long Marston and Wilstone with their public houses and shops. Two miles further afield is the pleasant market town of Tring.

We carefully preserve the ancient pasture and hedges at Gregorys Field and still make hay on the adjacent land using our vintage farm machinery. Visitors in July and August may witness the event. The caravan site has the basic required facilities but is deliberately kept uncluttered in order to provide the genuine charm of a true rustic environment where people may enjoy the tranquility of the traditional English Countryside.

The area is steeped in history, having been settled by the Saxons in the sixth century, Gregorys Field was part of the Manor of Puttenham, mentioned at the Synod of Hertford in AD 672. Subsequently, it was owned by Leofwin who was killed alongside his elder brother King Harold at the Battle of Hastings. Traces of a Roman Villa were found at Puttenham in the nineteenth century.

There is a multitude of places to visit and things to do within striking distance of Gregorys Field and these are detailed on our website. Fans of walking and cycling are spoilt for choice as regards the huge network of public footpaths and lanes that cover the surrounding farmland, all over the Vale of Aylesbury and up into the Chiltern Hills - a public footpath runs past the entrance to the site. For true rambling enthusiasts, there is the Aylesbury Ring (31 miles) that comes within a hundred yards of the Site. Also, the nearby Ridgeway Path that runs for 85 miles from Ivinghoe to Avebury along the edge of the Chilterns and gives stunning views of the Vale.

On the other hand, why not just relax in our rural idyll.

great little find

Gregorys Field
We visited this site a few weeks back for 4 nights and found Ivor most welcoming.The site was clean and quiet and super for the dogs to play ball, with plenty of footpaths to explore. We knew the area well as we grew up here, and of course everywhere has changed but this little site was so natural and peaceful to return to in the evenings. We will certainly use again if visiting the area. Stefan and Jackie. Wales

The perfect spot for walkers and wildlife lovers

Gregorys Field
17th- 18th June 2023 We really enjoyed staying on this gem of a site. The owner, Ivor is very friendly and knowledgeable about the surrounding countryside. It is a quiet location and offers lots of lovely walks and beautiful views. Will definitely be returning for another weekend break and to see Ivor again. A little footnote : despite it being a June weekend we struggled to find any local pubs catering for evening meals for the two of us. Ended up in a Lebanese restaurant in Tring, which turned out to be great fun and super food.

A delight in the Chiltern hills countryside

Gregorys Field
We stayed here for 1 night over the end of May bank holiday in 2023, We was greeted by Mr Gregory who showed us our pitch and the set up! on arrival to site we stopped at the main gate and phoned ahead and Mr Gregory met us there. This is a lovely site and its location is really good for a week or 2 stay to explore this end of the country. The site has everything you need if you are used to CL sites like us then this site is a must stay, I think some people get used to having full facilities and don't use there van for its full capabilities and if you have your own washing facilities and toilet then why do you need shower blocks! as we were only here for 1 night we did not get enough time to explore but we did walk to the Half moon Pub which has a lovely beer garden and its accessible through a couple of fields and a nice walk along a canal! as we are sort of local to this site we do visit other CL sites around this area and when We come back to this site We will stay longer. If you love walking like us this is a must to explore the plethora of walks and or if you just want to chill for the weekend then this is the site for you! We did film an arrival video to this site for our You Tube channel please see the link below https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLF7Jp2pJ9o

Lovely site, brilliant location and friendly owner

Gregorys Field
We stayed in our campervan for just one night mid April to escape London Life and it was exactly what we had hoped for. Excellent location, peaceful with plenty of public footpaths straight from the field where we could explore. Ivor was a great host, he welcomed us and went above and beyond to help us get the van out of a muddy spot! The field is simple, with Electric, water and waste disposal, no toilet but this was fine for us. Two great pubs in walking distance. I would highly recommend and we look forward to returning.

Very Peaceful

Gregorys Field
What a beautiful find! We only live about half an hour away from this site and was looking for somewhere nice and quiet. Gregory’s field did not disappoint. It was easy to get to and we had a very warm welcome by Mr Gregory. He was very accommodating and let us arrive earlier and even leave later. The site itself was surrounded by trees and hedges. We had the field all to ourselves so we had a choice of where we could pitch. There is no electric but we knew this when booking and it didn’t bother us as we were only staying for 2 nights. It does have an Elsan point and fresh water. You may need some levelling blocks depending on where you pitch. If you want peace and natural beauty this is the place. At night apart from nature sounds it was extremely quiet, no traffic or a main road to worry about. There were so many walks and cycling routes. The surrounding villages were beautiful and all have their own village pubs if you want refreshments and a bite to eat. The Grand Union canal is in walking distance as is the reservoir which is worth seeing. We will definitely be coming back here. A fantastic site to just get away and enjoy some peace. We thoroughly recommend. Thank you Mr Gregory.
