Why stay here ...
Situated on our working family farm in Great Canfield Essex not far from the M11.
The C.L is in a field next to water meadows of the River Roding which are grazed by our herd of traditional Redpoll cattle the "East Anglian breed".
Footpaths criss cross the farm where you can walk your dog. A rich variety of birdlife can be seen including Buzzards, Egrets and Skylarks. We are also trying to encourage Barn Owls and have put up several boxes with periodic success!
On site we have electrical hookups and a flat pitch you can find all you need to know about the area in "Dylans"our information hut. Great Dunmow is 5 miles away home to the "Dunmow Flitch". It has a wide range of shops and restaurants to suit all tastes.
For days out we are 50 minutes from London the same to Cambridge and Duxford Air Museum.To take the train Bishops Stortford is a 15 minute drive away. Anyone travelling to or from the continent we are an hour from Harwich.
Closer to home Hatfield Forest is only 3 miles away. If you feel like exploring hidden Essex the picturesque villages of Finchingfield and Thaxted are worth a look. For horse lovers the new racecourse at Chelmsford is not far away.
Anyone feeling active you can join the Flitch way which is across the fields as well as the national cycle network at the end of the road. Or you may feel like just relaxing here! Either way we look forward to meeting you.

Stay on 14 September 2024
A typical farm CL, everything you need without frills. Will stay again. Great base for exploring along the Flitch Way. Red kite, buzzard, kestrel and green woodpecker sightings. Beautiful cycling through woodland at Bacon End with countless deer roaming free.

Very welcoming CL
We stayed here twice in September - once at the start of our holiday and the second time when heading home - when we had the CL to ourselves. We arrived and set up near the fence line as the sun was already casting shadows over the hedges. Fortunately... Show more

Peaceful haven but well hidden.
As described by others this is a lovely peaceful site deep in countryside. It is, however, not very well signed and we managed to drive by. The lanes are narrow and the reversing to turn around quite difficult. One kind farmer allowed us to pull into his yard. Once the entrance... Show more

A Rural Have
This is a quiet (despite Stansted Airport traffic) and delightfully remote site in rural Essex. The field is flat, so very easy for either caravan or motorhome, and the village historic (Mott and Bailey from Norman Castle, ancient churches, etc). Easy access to Gt Dunmow, Chelmsford, and...

A warm welcome.
A very nice CL in rural surroundings. Jonathan, the owner, was very welcoming and helped us by lending us an aerial cable for the TV as we had forgotten ours. We will certainly use this site again if we are in the area.
