Carsington Water site - wonderful experience!
Just back from 7 nights at Carsington. Lovely wooded site with very tall pine trees, but clearings allow plenty of sunlight through. Lots of wildlife to enjoy...ducks, squirrels and various birds. Friendly, hard working, helpful wardens keep the site and facilities beautiful. Enjoyed listening to the piped Radio 2 music whilst showering! Also, there's a small drying room which we found useful after a wet day of cycling. A short walk to Carsington reservoir which can be cycled or walked around..we did both. About 8 miles. We found the pitches to be ample in size and were fortunate we didn't have any children playing ball games near us. We did however see that happening in the cul-de-sac just down from us. Also witnessed somebody having a barbecue on the grass, resulting in spoiling the pitch for future users. Surely it's not too much effort to raise it off the grass! One last thing..wonderful dog walks on site through woodland trails along the boundaries. Would recommend a visit for sure.
