We have to take our caravan down to the dealers in Preston to get a warranty repair done in March. We have decided to make it a holiday and are looking at staying at the above site. We have been to the town many times but not the site. Can anyone who has been advise eg best place to pitch and is access ok ( our van is 7 mts long) also is it an easy walk in to the town.

Thanks

Personally David I think that the extension is an abomination producing a boring desolate area lacking in trees and shrubs associated with the section of older site.

Certainly it is a site with traffic noise and it is certainly not the sort of site I would choose to sit around on a hot summer late afternoon/evening after a day out.

Can't say that either of us notice excess road noise, I'm usually the first to moan about it. It's not anything like Strathclyde or Tredegar neither of those would I wish to stay on again.

I notice some traffic noise but not a problem. Also hear the dawn chorus, the owls, the crows roosting etc.

You just have to do a bit more research then, JVB, Google Earth is good for that. (as are OS maps if members were given the map reference that is!!)

Probably why we now tend to use club sites as the info is more "open"
