Highly rated site. I don’t know how some reviews can say it’s narrow and caravans too close to each other? Do those reviewers normally pitch alone on football pitches? There’s plenty enough space. Easy to get to if you follow the directions given by going to the pub first using a sat nav and then using the map they give you. Tranquil. Wildlife. Pub nearby. Friendly helpful owner. What more could you want? There’s no ablution facilities so recommended for people with that on board - which these days is most everyone anyway.
I will definitely go again.
Charming Site
Durham Leys Farm is located in the quite charming village of Marsh Baldon, on the other side of the green. It is quite easy to get to. Once you come off the main road there is a single track road with plenty of passing points. Go to the Seven Stars Pub and they give you detailed directions.
Basically it is a sectioned off part of the horse field. There are no showers or toilets so I think £15 per night is a bit steep. Waste dump and fresh water supply are perfectly adequate. The views are very good, the location is dead quiet. It might get a bit cosy with 5 caravans, but nevertheless enough room. The pitching area is flat and level.
Never saw the owner, just put the money in the box as requested. Not a problem. The location is very good to visit Oxford. The park and ride is fairly close. I would strongly recommend that it is used as Oxford looked a nightmare for traffic and parking.
The local pub, Seven Stars is very friendly and serves excellent food and Is easily walkable, make sure that you take a torch as you can lose your bearings on the way back as there is no lighting.
All in all a good site that is well worth a few days to visit Oxford and a couple of nights out in the local pub.
what a location!!!!
What a lovely location very quiet and peaceful, Once you turn off the main road into the village of Marsh Baldon it is like stepping back in time, buildings of character and there is chance that you could watch the local test match on the village green. The view from your caravan you can watch the horses in their paddocks and the buzzards flying overhead.
The field is a well cut paddock and no need for any levelling blocks.
This is the second time I have used this location and love it, just give Ron a call to book your stay, he gives a very warm welcome.

Mr Ron Wells .Great welcome
Just follow the CC book directions and you will get to the site. A local person who did not know where the actual site was said that the lane we were on was too narrow for our caravans when in fact it was perfectly OK. Mr wells was a great character and came to visit us 3 times during our stay. The very poor review was actually about a previous site at the same location. I would recommend this CL. The directions are quite difficult but you simply have to follow them very carefully.
