Sky, Sea & Rolling Hills
We stayed for seven nights in early April. Approach is from the east along the Old Bideford Road and via a private driveway bordered by a dazzling display of Azaleas and Camellias. A very sharp and upward right turn leads to the CL where there are three hard standings; the remaining pitches slope sideways, where the grass was ankle length and the ground less even. The A39 is a short distance away, traffic noise from which is particularly noticeable during travel-to-work times.
Mains water was due to be switched off for most of the second day, but Mrs Stagg thoughtfully provided a few litres of bottled water. Fresh water and waste disposal is adjacent and easy to access. There is a well-appointed WC and wash basin for the use of campers beside the farmhouse just a minute's walk away.
The site occupies an elevated position giving good views north towards the River Taw estuary and hills beyond. Fremington shops are at least one a half miles away down a single track road with passing places, where there is a post office, Costcutter, Boots and Graylings fish and chip shop, which is highly recommended. During our stay the Old Bideford Road was frequently used by heavy goods vehicles which appeared to be travelling to and from a quarry about 1200 yards west of the CL. Not a problem, apart from their drivers' tendency to tailgate tardy motorists.
We hope to use this site again.
