Great Place to Stay
Second visit to this CL and another enjoyable week. Jo is very welcoming and the site provides your own tap with drainage and elec hook up so you get a serviced pitch for the price. Chemical loo disposal is nearby the entrance to the site. Although very peaceful beware if you are not a petrol head of the proximity of the Prescott Hill Climb circuit and, if so, check the meeting schedule and avoid. Not an issue for us and we thoroughly enjoyed all the walking and cycling on offer in the area. Good footpaths and quiet roads link the site to Cleeve Hill, Winchcombe and Dumbleton Wood and the Winchcombe Way passes close to the site. Our dog had his legs walked off and loved the fact that the fields immediately around the CL are all open to dog walking subject to stock and crops. We cycled to the shops in Bishops Cleeve for essential fresh supplies and further afield on the quieter roads. The Hobnails Inn on the Winchcombe Way is well worth a visit for excellent food and service - the footpath goes right through the car park. TV reception is OK but with so many hills around the antenna set up is important. The 4G signal is also OK but only two bars most of the time. All the pitches are hard standing and pretty close to level. If you have time walk across the field on the footpath to where the Winchcombe Way crosses the road to Gotherington and head up Granna Lane a short distance to the footpath to Gotherington Halt on the old steam railway line. There you can see what must be one of the best restored railway stations in the country and the sight took me back in time to the heyday of the train - if you are lucky a steam train will go through and they run infrequently close to the CL. Thank you, Jo, we look forward to returning and hope to bring good weather again next time!
