I know a few members are like us and mix in a few none Club Sites into a tour. Thought I would open up a thread for folks to post website links to any nice sites they come across, that might interest others.

This one to start with http://www.thamesheadinn.co.uk/camping-caravan-sites-cirencester-glos.html

Just off A433 few miles from Cirencester, so ideal for Cotswolds area. Plenty to see and do in area, Pub is nice for food.

Moderator Edit:

This thread is for posting links and/or reviews.  Please don't use it to discuss the merits, or otherwise, of other people's choices.

Thank You.

Could a Mod please make this a sticky, as there will be CT members who would no doubt wish to visit some of these sites and it's hard enough at the moment to find this post, and will only get harder as more post are added.

I’ll report your post Nellie, hopefully it will be made a sticky, but in meantime just give it a bump every now and then. It is useful, and hardly advertising as those of us that tour UK like to mix our sites up, so there will be CLs and Club Sites in the mix as well.😁

Edit: have reported and asked for it to be made sticky, possibly asking folks to just post links rather than too much debate on merits or otherwise on what is posted. 🤞😁

I've made it sticky and would reiterate the request to keep to links and not use it for discussion and debate so it doesn't get clogged up.

Thanks all.

Thanks, Jill. Presumably a short review after visiting, such as mine about Hawthorne Cottage would be OK though? smile

Just a suggestion Jill, but if it’s possible, could you add something to the opening post in bold stating that it’s primarily for posting links and a bit of a review, but not for commenting on the merits or otherwise of folk’s choices? This might help keep it on track?

There's a CL associated with this site, too, No.696 in the Site Directory. When we had a look a good few years ago it did need a good bit of TLC, but reading the reviews and the looking at the web site it appears to improved a lot.

This CL has just been listed in the latest list of Closed CLs published by Maddie earlier this month. They must now be purely a Commercial site.

I had a round robin email from Cuckoo's Corner the other day explaining they had been 'struck off' the CL list for having too many pitches but were continuing as a commercial site. It was a bit confusing as he said they had always had that number of pitches and couldn’t understand why the club was now withdrawing the CL status. Make of it what you will. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I can highly recommend Low Hedgeley Farm site in the heart of Northumberland. It was a Club CL in the past and has increased the number of pitches since going it alone. The site is immaculate and pristine. In a stunning location  with brilliant hosts. 10 out of 10 easily.

I can back this up, Settermum. Good off road dog walk along the the old railway track near to the site, and numerous other footpaths close by too. It has 4 grass & 6 H/S pitches each with it's own water tap, a single toilet and is easily accessed off the A697, just north of Powburn. Good value at £16 pn, at the moment.
