Newcastle upon Tyne to Henley on Thames

I’m not sure if Poolsbrook is half way but it is close to the M1

There are lots of sites in Derbyshire - club sites, CLs and commercial sites. Why not work out your route and see what sites lie close to the roads you plan to use?

My theory has always been that for a single night stopover location is the most important factor rather than facilities or appearance.

Either Poolsbrook club site just off the M1 or Clumber club site just off the A1 are close to the half way point.  Clumber is opening earlier than planned from a refurbishment, on the 9th August. Therefore might be easier to book if you want a weekend day.

Poolsbrook in many ways is an ideal stopover given the easy access on and off the M1. Having said that it will leave you with a slightly longer journey the next day to Henley but that shouldn't really be a problem as the earliest arrive is 1.00pm so leaves you plenty of time.

We've used Poolsbrook and Clumber coming up from Somerset, a similar distance. Unless the communications are improved at Clumber in the upgrade Poolsbrook is much better if you need to use a phone etc. Both sites are pleasant and quiet.

If it is just an overnight stop I wouldn’t use a Clumber Park. Too big, too expensive for just over night, and in our experience, noisy.

plenty of CL s on your route.

Someone told me of a small site called Daphnes Orchard -just off junction 24 of the M1.   Is that the route you are taking? The website photos look lovely and the reviews are good too.

Polesbrook is halfway if you are using the M1 to Jct 15A then the A43 to the M40 but in my eyes it would be expensive for a night stop. The nearest CL to the M1 in that area is >The Orchard<

Hi , thankyou all for your replies and helpful tips - managed to change my screen name & add an image 👍🏼😉

We’ve decided to opt for Poolsbrook based on the responses and obviously availability dependent . 

Thanks again 👍🏼

…. That was before I read the suggestions of Daphnes Orchard which sounds wonderful 😆
