Peaceful site in lovely pine woods close to reservoir
Our first trip here, just an hour from home, and it won't be our last. The pine woodland is lovely and the pitches in small groups in clearings. While we didn't feel hemmed in by the trees, it's worth being selective about your pitch to make the most of the available sun. Used our bikes each of the 3 days we were on site - to go round the reservoir, a delightful 9 mile easy ride, spotting sculptures and taking advantage of the picnic area at the Visitor Centre, and a slightly more energetic ride to Ashbourne via the NCN route and back via a B road. Having brought all our food with us we didn't need to take the motorhome off site at all to go shopping, but it's worth bearing in mind that you're a fair way to any shops. The woodland walk around the site makes for a lovely half-hour stroll. A super short break, we'll definitely be back.
