New Year 2016

Normally we would have packed the caravan away for Winter at the end of October and that would be that until next March but this year we opted for a different approach and made a reservation for a 4 night stay at Longleat to include New Years Eve. It is essential to follow the Caravan Club's directions to locate the site as there is only one approach down a couple of miles of narrow lanes with occasional passing places which would be a real challenge if you met another outfit coming the other way. Once at the site you will find a real gem set among the trees and hedges. Fine, generally level hard standings all well drained and in spite of some quite prolonged spells of rain the puddles never hung around for long. There is a good variety of walks in the area including some long distance paths and some useful information in the info cabin on site. The wild animal park is a great attraction for families and we could clearly hear some of the animal calls from our pitch. At the time of our visit there was a festival of light in the park which culminated at 6.30pm with a magnificent fireworks display close enough to the site to be well worth watching and far enough from the animals to avoid undue distress. There is a terrific pub The Royal Oak in about 40 minutes walk from the site with good food at reasonable prices but if you fancy a curry then a curry house in nearby Warminster will deliver to site for a modest £3.00 delivery charge. An ASDA store is only 3 miles away at Frome for all other essentials. This was great site with very friendly wardens for a winter stay and we will definitely go back in the warmer seasons for another look.
