National Memorial

Don't know whether I've lost a post but now re-posting. We used the C&CC Conkers site for an overnight stop this year, it's in a Country Park so quiet and has excellent dog walks, might be busy at weekends as it's popular with families. Not far from the arboretum.

 Thanks for the suggestion ttda.  Looks lovely but I don't think I'm going to risk that approach with an 8' wide van! (Yes, I know I'm a whimp!!)

Thanks brue.  I have looked at that and it was towards the top of my list but I got the impression that it could be a bit 'boisterous' at certain times. Staying there mid-week sounds like a good compromise.

Conkers  isn't a huge site R&R, access is easy and the youngsters have a big play area so they all meet up there rather than running around the site. I quite enjoyed seeing them having somewhere to get together and socialise.

No, you’re not a wimp. Just someone who takes care that’s all. Apologies, I had forgotten you had a wide van. It’s just the last half mile or so if I recall, but there were passing places. But it’s different in a MH.😁

We also stayed at Conkers CCC to visit the National Memorial and Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre some time back.  Totally different experiences.  No dog with us so no info as to whether or where they are allowed to be walked.

Bosworth is very dog friendly. Good walks if you do the whole trail around.

Have a look at this CL

a few miles south of Ashbourne, we’ve stayed here a couple of times, hard standing, serviced pitches, quite. Lovely site facing onto a big lake.

About 25 miles from National Memorial

Should read “quiet” not quite, fat fingers 

Thanks Burgundy - I wouldn't have found this because I was looking closer to the Arboretum - but it looks ideal - apart from the slightly narrow bit on the approach road - but it's do-able! I've put this one to the top of my 'list'.  Thanks again.
