A long awaited return to this CL. It had been seven years since our previous visit, and thankfully nothing had changed. The CL is accessed via a short drive off the public highway, we turned left in to the drive and didn't find it difficult. Once your outfit is safely off the highway there is a coded barrier (number is provided when booking) which affords security and prevents inquisitive visitors. Then it is a case of moving forward and turning right over a small bridge (no cause for concern) which leads you on to the CL itself, which really is an island. All the necessary facilities are clustered around the bridge and are kept impeccably well. The CL itself is level, you pitch where you want, though everyone seems drawn to the river. It is a joy to watch the boats cruising up and down the river. There is an abundance of wildlife too. The Thames path is just over the road bridge. Easy walking (3.5 miles) to Kelmscott, birthplace of William Morris. Going the other way for about 4.5 miles and past two delightful locks you find The Trout at Tadpole Bridge. The Ye Olde Swan pub is on the road bridge by the CL, it has delightful gardens and serves traditional pub fayre. We didn't find the presence of a pub being so close noisy or intrusive at all. In fact it is a pleasant evening stroll for a beer. The CL has a voluntary manager who collects fees and checks your membership card too and is a good source of local information.
