I know a few members are like us and mix in a few none Club Sites into a tour. Thought I would open up a thread for folks to post website links to any nice sites they come across, that might interest others.

This one to start with http://www.thamesheadinn.co.uk/camping-caravan-sites-cirencester-glos.html

Just off A433 few miles from Cirencester, so ideal for Cotswolds area. Plenty to see and do in area, Pub is nice for food.

Thank You.

We stayed at Halse Farm way back in June 2002. I had to look that up because I don't keep detailed records that far back. But I remember, in the days before we had a TV in the van, listening to the radio commentary of England v Argentina in the world cup. (England won 1 - 0 thanks to a David Beckham penalty.) Now is that sad or what?!! wink

Yep, very sad M. 

We were in South of France at the time and because of time delay the matches were sometimes shown in the morning on French tv. We had a tv at that time and we used to check the weather forecast before setting out only to find ourselves watching a highlights programme showing the game. The French tv was hilarious and so non PC. All and I mean all, of the "guest viewers" on the set in the first 2 rows were former Miss Worlds, or should have been, with various scarves draped around them, all showing rather too much decolletage. I'm sure they were all avid fans of Football!smile  We found it hilarious.

The Croft IS permanently closed following the owners retirement. Very disappointed and surprised given the investment in a new wheelchair friendly shower and other upgrades 2 years ago. There is a good site not too far away at Finchale Abbey, quiet, immediately next to the Abbey, adult only, albeit not small.

The Finchale Abbey Site looks very nice, we had a look when visiting the Abbey. 😄

We stayed at Finchdale Abbey site a few years ago. We liked it. I remember it being a bit slopie but can't remember if we used blocks. Peacock(s) lived on site too.

Thanks for finding that out flatcoat, perhaps the owners are unable to look after the site because of illness.
