Teenagers get the chance to start, steer, manoeuvre, reverse and park on a specifically designed road system.
View and BookTerry and Angela Davis would like to welcome you to Barn Farm, our lovely CL situated on the edge of the picturesque Vale of Belvoir. We ourselves have been caravanners for 40 years and Terry is an ex-maintenance engineer who is always willing to help with any problems you may have concerning your caravan.
The access to the site is easy down a private secure lane 200 yards off the roadside.
The site is flat, lawned and quiet and within easy access of the A1 and A52. Your dogs are very welcome and there is a convenient walk straight from the site without going on the road.
On a warm summer night you can sit outside and watch the amazing sunsets which have been commented on on several occasions.
Close by Allington an award winning best kept village boast the superb Welby Arms Pub and Restaurant and a well-stocked village shop. If you fancy an afternoon tea these are served at the Manor House also in Allington. Just outside Allington is Arena UK which holds International Showing and Show Jumping competitions as well as other exhibitions and shows.
Bottesford just 2 miles up the road has an excellent fish and chip shop and Chinese takeaway as well as a bistro and delicatessen café. There is a good co-op supermarket, butchers hairdressers and post office in Bottlesford.
Just up the A52 towards Bottlesford is the Gap Inn where you can get a carvery or breakfast at a reasonable price.
Access to the Grantham Canal is about 2 miles away which is lovely and peaceful and ideal for a nice walk.
There are 3 market towns – Grantham, Newark and Melton Mowbray all within comfortable driving distance of the CL. Melton Mowbray has a very good Antique market and Farmers market on a Tuesday, the same day as the exceptional town market. In Melton Mowbray you can visit the pork pie shop and buy one of their famous pork pies.
Nearby Newark 15 minutes by car has lots of little shops and tearooms and a lovely market on a Saturday and Wednesday.
There are excellent golf facilities at Belton Woods Hotel with its world class golf course just a 15 minute drive from Barn Farm.
Within sight of Barn Farm just 2 miles away there is Downtown and Boundary Mills, an excellent garden centre and shopping outlet.
