Why stay here ...
Celia and Garry would like to welcome you to Southview CL, set on the Leicestershire border with Northamptonshire you can expect to overlook beautiful countryside views and see regular ariel display from Kites and Buzzards.
Southview is situated on the A4304 about 8 miles from Junction 20 of the M1 and 5 miles from the historic market town of Market Harborough where the old grammar school takes centre stage.
The site is set out over two tiers and has five level 6m wide x 10m long hardstanding pitches, three pitches on the top tier and two on the lower tier, each pitch has its own 16-amp EHU, drinking water and grey waste disposal point. Our CDP is connected to a septic tank and therefor please use Elsan green or similar. Electric is metered and loaded via a pre-pay card system meaning you only pay for the electricity you use. Alternatively go green and use your solar at no cost.
In the next village (1.7 miles) you will find a dog friendly pub, shop and Chinese takeaway
Within a few miles are several good pubs and restaurants.
We are on a local bus route with buses into Market Harborough.
As Market Harborough is on the Midland mainline you can get to London in about one hour and Leicester in about 20 minutes.
Places of interest include:
- Grade 2 listed Foxton Locks home to the longest, steepest staircase flight of locks in Britain, if you enjoy a long walk with a pub or café at the turn around point this can be achieved from site mostly along canal banks and towpaths.

This has got to be the best site we've stayed on so far. The pitches were amazingly level, everything we needed plus peace and quiet. Garry was so welcoming and come and introduced himself we were arrived. Electric was payment on departure and was so much less than I thought it would be. On departure Garry come to read the meter and was very happy to chat and tell us all about the job he had get everything done to such a fantastic level for a CL site, we can't have asked for more will definitely be going back. Looking forward to seeing the alpacas again.

Great site
Southview
Well done Gary for your site
Just returned from a long weekend at this site and will be definitely returning
So easy to find from the motorway and excellent access , on arrival Gary came to see us and gave us all the information we needed . The pitches are reasonably level and large and flat with water, electric and drains , only slight criticism is the hardcore used is a bit rough , not too bad though.
Lots to see in the area and beautiful area and scenery around , well worth the visit
Will be back soon
Excellent CL Site
Southview
Easy to find with excellent access, immaculate with great views from every pitch which are all hard standing and level with Electric hook up, Fresh Water & Waste water to each pitch, which are a generous size. Garry and Celia are great hosts and there if you need them.
Lots to do in the area so great for a short stay or overnighter… or longer, and very good value. A very good CL.
If Carlsberg did CLs………
Southview
We’ve been on the lookout for a weekend bolt hole, the kind of place you’d normally drive miles to find, with fabulous views, peace and quiet and with friendly, welcoming people - so to come across Southview on our doorstep has been a real boon. The entrance to the CL is easily accessible for even the largest of units and all 5 pitches have wonderful views across fields and the valley below and beyond towards Market Harborough, and all are hard standing with their own water tap, drain and metered electricity (which in this day and age was incredibly fairly priced). Owner Garry is an absolute gent and maintains the site immaculately. We spent the weekend watching Red Kites, dining at a fabulous local pub recommended by Garry and just enjoying the peace and views. Like the header says, if Carlsberg did CLs………
a hidden gem
Southview
We have just used this CL twice in the last week, on the way out and back from the Malvern's, as it is a central point in the country for us. This is a beautiful site and certainly warrants a longer stay. Good size pitches, with all the amenities. The views are amazing, looking out over the hills at the back. Lovely to hear the church bells ringing as this has been lost in many villages, including our own, giving you a true village feel. Very central to loads of places to visit with good easy access to the site, and easy access onto the site.
Garry was very welcoming and hospitable, even setting up our electric on our chosen pitch for our return visit, so that we could just arrive and hook up. Don't overlook this CL, its well worth a visit, you wont be disappointed. We will certainly return in the near future.
Thank you - Beagles on Wheels.
