We first stayed here in our caravan for 2 weeks September 2009 so we thought we would have a memory lane stop off to break the journey from Norfolk back to North Wales. We arrived just after lunch and walked to the visitor centre and wildlife centre at Carsington Water (seemed a lot longer walk than 10 years ago a reminder of our age!!) Some good shops there, cafe outdoor shop RSPB and icecream shop (that one was closed not sure if it was just that day) When we were there last time our dog loved the dogwalk so before we left in the morning we walked that hasn't changed just as good as before! Lovely wooded site just our cup of tea! Wardens very welcoming and facilities excellent! chippy van on friday and pizza van on saturday! Well recommended! Oh and good play area for the kiddies!
