Poplar Farm a Winner

We stayed for four nights and have no complaints other than the road noise. Now the negative is dealt with there are many positives to this cl. First was the field and for us was the location. It is very easy to find with good entrance which leads onto a level, well drained field with spacious pitches. Pitches 4 and 5 have taps on the pitch which you can used to link a hose to so keeping your aquaroll full. Pitch 3A is possible but would need a long hose. The field is well sheltered and private. The River Bain, a very clean free flowing river, runs by the site and a nice touch by the site owner is the easy steps he has put in to lead to the river’s edge with a seat to use if you wish. Fishing is available here. There is what looks like a self build red telephone box, very authentic, which is used as a book swap and tourist information point. Behind that is the elsan and dustbin area. A great plus point here is that it is totally under cover which is a benefit when recycling the rubbish and emptying the loo. Just one point about the exit of the cl. There is a bend to the right and I was nearly caught out by a fast car. However I hadn’t spotted the mirror on the opposite side of the road giving a view through the blind area. A very useful touch, for your safety use it. The cl is on the edge of a village and there are several, easy well marked footpaths from the edge of the site, especially along the river. The village pub is only a very short distance from the field and had a good menu, Wednesday to Saturday, and selection of beers. Operating hours were a bit odd. It is closed on Sunday’s and Tuesday’s, with a very limited menu of Burgers on Monday. We visited on the Wednesday and it was busy. Hopefully these hours may change in the future. Back to the location. It is very central for a large tourist area especially to do with WW2 history with local airfields having museums to learn about the history this area played in the war. The famous 617 squadron (Dambusters) were stationed here from 1944 and the Battle of Britain Memorial museum is here at RAF Coningsby where the Battle of Britain Memorial flight is housed. A little further afield is the Lincs coast with its many sandy beaches and the city of Lincoln in the other direction is not far. It is an area I would certainly return as it is just a one hour drive from home
