This was our first visit to Warwick Racecourse site, so didn’t know what to expect. The greeting from the wardens was very friendly and helpful, and were not at all obtrusive during our stay. The site is quite small, with just over half the pitches on a hard standing or grass, and the others on a tarmac area near the racecourse rail. Call me old fashioned, but being on a large tarmac area it is not my idea of going away for a relaxing break. It didn’t help that it was also the hottest weekend so far, so the heat radiated up from the tarmac making it unbearable during the day and evening. A top tip is before you arrive, check if there is anything on at the racecourse. When we got here there was a Thai celebration of culture, with extremely loud music that would have given Glasto a run for its money! It did finish early evening but it would have been good to know if it was on and make arrangements to be out during the day. Didn’t try any pubs or restaurants in Warwick, but we walk up past the 21 Hatton locks on the Great Union Canal and stopped for brunch at a great cafe at the top lock. Warwick Castle is well worth a visit using the club discount when pre booking. If you do go make sure you make time for the falconry show, it’s superb. I would use this site again as a halfway stop if I was going to somewhere else, or for sure if coming racing
