FABULOUS despite the weather!
We visited this site just after the Easter 2018 weekend when the weather had been atrocious for several days and there was a VAST amount of water in the area. The approach road was flooded but we managed to negotiate that and get into the site entrance (through boatyard.) We were met by a very friendly Craig (site owner) who explained that the actual CL area was under a foot of water (the ducks were enjoying it!!) but he was able to give us the option of two places to pitch. We took the the grassed (rather than hard standing option) and this proved fine for our 10 day stay.
The site is superb. Craig never stops working on it - doing odd jobs to improve the facilities and keeping it neat and tidy. It is very tranquil. The pitches are large with own tap, grey waste point, wifi and tv aerial. Boats (including Craig's double decker wide barge) are moored on the adjacent River Avon and their owners are very friendly and have good rapport with site owner and caravanners'.
Wyre Piddle is a small village (with a well stocked Co-op) on the outskirts of Pershore. There are two pubs (riverside with good views of river and boats) in the village - both provide meals. The Anchor Inn is traditional pub and has a wide menu choice - the Piesse of Piddle is smaller, attracts many friendly locals and serves (limited menu) good quality if simple home made / home cooked food. We thought it had a fabulous atmosphere and enjoyed our two visits and the meals we had there.
There is a very nice riverside walk (from site) into Pershore (very wet on our visit but still passable) a lovely Georgian town with a wonderful abbey. The town even has a cinema there. A splendid community venue - 'Number 8' - the foyer is open daily for coffee and cakes (excellent) and the cinema / theatre is well worth a visit.
The area around Pershore has much to interest the visitor Croome Park (NT), Bredon Hill and Worcester are all within a few miles of the site.
This is a really fabulous site, with a great site owner who does everything possible to ensure his guests have a superb visit.
