A Little Gem

Having just returned from a four day trip to Warwick I wanted to share our experience of Warwick Racecourse campsite. What a gem. Situated in the centre part of the race course accessed via Meat and Bread Close this truly is a delightful small site. Not one for children there being no play area however my brother and I would have loved the big open space of St Marys common to run and explore.  Take care when travelling along the road adjacent to the race course as it narrows reducing the road to one lane width only. This is the same whether approaching from the North or the South. The camp entrance is at the Northern end. With a mixture of hard and grassed pitches we opted for a grassed one. The site as with most operates a one way system. As dog owners we were delighted with the huge grassed common land where dogs were able run. Nearby (2 mins walk) there is a very good nine hole golf course and an excellent driving range. The nearest connivance store is less than 5 mins walk away. The town square where an open air market is held every Saturday and on Bank Holidays is also 5 mins walk away. The square itself has three very nice Pubs on it which do real ale and excellent food. One of the pubs is a Weatherspoons renowned for good food, ale at excellent value. Close by there are numerous other restaurants and takeaways.    Sainsburys store is also within walking distance by simply turning left out the camp and walk down Meat and Bread Close to in. Now there is so much to see in the immediate area that we will have to return soon to do the parts we missed including the collection of Open Victorian gardens  right on your door step in Meat and bread Close. The Castle is a must but make sure you download the vouchers for 2 for 1. Also take a picnic with you nearly £5 for two small mugs of tea is not my idea of value the food is equally pricey. The castle takes a good four hours to do but it worth the money. Royal Leamington Spa is very close and the fabulous Jephson Gardens (free to enter) are a must. After your walk call and have a meat pasty and cake at the Aviary Café. The on road parking is charged via pay and display but was quite reasonable. Stratford on Avon meanwhile is focused mainly on overseas tourists and prices reflect this. All in all there is so much to see round Warwick and the immediate area. The site wardens are lovely people, very helpful and always happy to chat. It is a brilliant site that would be totally perfect if it only had Wifi however as the site is rented and not owned this is not to be. Still well worth a visit
