Apart from the fact that the GPS location for the site is woefully wrong, this is an easy site to find as it is right alongside the A47 and yet, when on site there is next to no traffic noise.
The site itself is large for just 5 vans and the grass is kept short and it would appear the cuttings are collected which is a real bonus.
The surrounding countryside is beautiful with some stunning villages to be seen and as for the truly amazing Harringworth railway viaduct, well what a feat of engineering that is still in use to this present day.
My major concern with this site is the dog walking or rather danger and or lack of it!
There is a small field which no doubt sheep graze in at certain periods of the year that we were directed to, to exercise our dogs. However, at the time of our visit in early August, there were so many fully ripe wild oats growing there and as any dog owner will/should know, the husks of wild oats are exceptionally dangerous for dogs either between their toes or in their ears, so for us, that field was a serious no, no.
So we thought we would walk down the road in search of some narrow country lanes, but the entrance to Bisbrooke Hall has a cattle grid which has no pedestrian gate access, as such getting our 3 spaniels past this obstacle was a major and seriously dangerous problem and then, when past this, I am sorry to say the verges next to the pathways alongside the main A47 were in such deplorable condition, they were almost totally overgrown with stinging nettles and brambles.
And finally, the A47 at this point is so exceptionally busy, I for one as a keen cyclist, wouldn't ever ride along it.
But despite this, we loved the site, but it could be a great site if for only a small amount of effort.
OH by the way the GPS location of the main entrance is N52.59454 W0.68343 and not as given in the 2019/20 Sites Directory Handbook.
