A Splendid CL
This is a truly splendid CL. If you're happy to use the washroom and toilet in your van, it's ideal. The pitches are all hard standing and fully serviced with 16A electricity, a drinking water tap and a grey water drain. The pitches are three on the upper tier, and two on the lower tier, and both tiers have really well thought out neat little waste disposal areas with frequently emptied bins and easy and clean chemical toilet disposal points. The whole site is maintained in excellent order.
But it's not these first rate technical points that make this site so splendid. It is set in glorious countryside and the pitches all command absolutely stunning views. There are brilliant places to visit with easy driving distance. I fulfilled a long-held ambition visiting the Tramway Village at Crich - but there are lots of alternatives. There are plenty of places to eat nearby, but I tried the "curry to caravan" delivery service. It was excellent, and the food delicious. There's a minimum order of £20 to qualify for free delivery - I was camping on my own this time, but shared an order with a couple on the adjacent pitch.
The main purpose of this trip was to spend some time in the peace and beauty of the countryside and to visit the Tram Museum. Tax farm was ideal for these purposes, and it was a truly enjoyable stay. It was very peaceful. There were occasionally the sounds of a working farm, especially a the rattle of a trailer going up and down the access lane, but these in no way spoiled the calm and peaceful experience.
Did not meet the owners on this trip, but dealt with Mrs. Wright on the phone. She was really friendly and helpful. Planned a four night stay, but enjoyed it so much stayed on for an extra night. I will certainly be making future bookings, and am really looking forward to visiting together with my partner. Highly recommended.
