Excellent CL and a good base for seeing the surrounding area and is ON a cycle route.

Porch House Cl is an excellent base for visiting Newent, Ledbury, Hereford, and The Malvern Hills. The welcome is excellent and you are free to choose your own pitch of those available. The pitches are spread along a 1 acre strip field (as shown on the CMT CL Photo)all with pleasant views. The pitches are well kept, wide and large but be aware that although there are five electric hook-up connections these are on EHU bollards on Pitches 2 and 4 - so you may need a LONG lead to reach your chosen pitch. The Site itself is excellent although the toilet unit was closed at the time of our visit so you may well need your own facilities. The entrance to the site is good although care needs to be taken when leaving as visibility of the road is limited. I would recommend approaching the CL from the South if towing a caravan as the northerly approach routes are a little narrow and somewhat bendy. Our Garmin Camper SatNav showed the northern route but the Club website describes the more southerly approach route which, fortunately, we took. Newent is a nice small town with butchers, grocers, cafes etc. It also has quite a pretty lake which is worth taking a stroll around. Hereford is about a 40 minute drive away and well worth the effort to see its architecture, cathedral and take some time to explore some of the smaller streets that house some quite nice unique shops etc. Ledbury is only about 20 mins drive and is one of those small towns that has all manner of different shops and cafes which sell things that you don't normally find in bigger centres. For cyclists the CL is on the route of the Newent Loop -a 28 mile loop which nominally starts and ends in Newent and it can be tackled as two separate 19 mile loops if you wish. Our stay was for three nights and it is a CL that we will certainly visit again.
