Have visited this site on numerous occasions and just had another 3 days at this wonderful CL made all the better by the excellent weather.
Mix of hardstandings and grass all with electric. Conveniently placed water tap with the waste and chemical disposal screened by flowering shrubs. There are also recycling bins which are emptied daily. The very well kept paddock is regularly mowed and is planted with fruit trees and looks across the field grazed by the beautiful Limousin cattle bred by the owner. Dogs are very welcome but as this is a working farm they need to be under control at all times. The whole area is great for dog walking.
There is a very popular tea room at the farm which is open daily.
There are numerous walks directly from the site and just about 100 metres or so from the farm entrance is Julian's Bower - an ancient turf maze. From here you can look across the River Trent to Yorkshire. On a very clear day you can even see York Minster! The susets viewed from here are a must!
If birdwatching is your thing you can walk down onto Alkborough Flats where there are several bird hides.
There are no shops in the village, the nearest is about 3 miles away in Burton where there is also a pub, coffee shop and take away. You can walk to Burton from the site along a lovely footpath with views across the River Trent. You can also do a nice circular walk to Whitton in the other direction, about 6 miles in total.
Normanby Hall is a short drive of about 4 miles.
This is a wonderful relaxing site where you can do as much or as little as you like. Very friendly and welcoming owners and at £10 per night with electric is extremely good value for money. Will return many more times.
