A spacious, well kept site surrounded by countryside
We stayed a couple of nights, mainly to meet up with some old friends as I grew up in the next village called Hemingford Grey. The owner - John Saunders - met us on arrival; he was very cheerful and it was very helpful to be shown where everything is: EHU, toilet and waste disposal and fresh water. The site is really spacious with lots of room to spread out on the grass, which is kept short and tidy. There are a few fruit trees along one edge and a small stream on the other side. The site is very dark at night and we enjoyed a couple of star-filled evenings. The site is close to access routes to Cambridge, Huntingdon and the lovely market town of St Ives. We'd booked a table at the Axe and Compass pub in the village, about a 10 minutes walk from the site. The food was good, plenty of choice of beers and wines and everyone was very friendly. From there you can walk through the meadows along the Great Ouse to the next village of Hemingford Grey, with a beautiful church by the river (we were married there almost 40 years ago!) and a pub with an excellent restaurant. Although I know the area well, we hadn't stayed at this CL before but would definitely return when visiting friends again.

My wife and I have been visiting Ridgeway Farm for many years and always look forward to returning. Mrs. Saunders and her son John are lovely people and cannot be more welcoming or helpful. The sight is spacious and always extremely well kept. It is close to the A14 but road noise is hardly noticeable. Access to surrounding areas such as St Ives, which is a lovely town,St. Neots, Huntingdon etc is very easy. There is a lovely walk or bike ride into St. Ives and not far away is Grafam waters which is well worth a visit and again has excellent bike riding and walking facilities. There have been occasions when we have visited with other friends, sometimes occupying the whole CL and all of us agree that this well worth the return visit.
