I'm not one to make a fuss about the position of sites, if you look beforehand you know its on a road, so obviously if you have to pitch next to it there will be noise. You can always move. The rest of the site is very peaceful and very clean and neat as you would imagine with a CAMC site. Large pitches, some with hedges in between for privacy. Some pitches are not terribly level so remember your ramps. There is a great dog walk around the edge of the site, and at the back there is a good little park with lots of pitches around it so you can keep an eye on the little ones. Lots of people visit the site, an ice-cream van, a fresh fish & poultry guy, a curry van and a pizza van! Not bad! The pavement in both directions from the site is narrow, but its a short stroll to the pub which is also a spa, so could be worth a visit in the rain. If you turn down the road by the pub you end up at Titteswell Reservoir which is a lovely place to walk whether you have a dog or not. Its a bit narrow but you can park the motorhome in the carpark and there is a cafe and a huge park for the kids. Great day out. The Roaches is a right turn out of the site and is well worth the effort as the views are fantastic. You can also drive and park at the foot of the climb and again there is a fab little cafe. We also drove to Churnet Valley Railway which is about 15 mins away, there's lots of parking, the steam train is great fun and there is a canal just up the road with a very popular cafe and pub and you can walk as far as you like in a very tranquil wooded area. All in all this site is a hidden jem, its the summer holidays for heavens sake and you really wouldn't have known it - perfect - just a shame about the weather!!!
