This is a lovely CL in some stunning countryside not that far from the City of Leicester. We stayed whilst attending a wedding in nearby Swithland. The CL is within a family run nursery. On arrival we were met by one of the family who took me into the shop to check in and pay and gave me an information sheet with everything you needed to know about the site. The gates are locked at night but there is a footpath to leave the site on foot and you have the gate code if you need to drive out or return late. This is not the largest CL but another review suggesting that the pitches were too close together is simply not the case in my view. Each pitch has a hook-up and some also have a water tap. From pitch number 1 there is a fantastic view across Thornton reservoir which offers some beautiful walks if you have dogs with you as we did. The CL is next to a minor road and, yes, cars do drive along it, but there is really not much traffic and the site is very quiet and peaceful, with the sounds of nature (birds and geese) on the reservoir a delightful plus. I had a long chat with the owner in the morning and he could not have been more welcoming, friendly and helpful. We lived in Leicestershire for over 10 years and I never knew about this area, but now I have discovered it I will definitely return and stay again at Thornton Nurseries. The nursey is well worth a look round too, the majority of their plants for sale are grown on-site.
