Nice Site - roadworks at present
This is a very nice and tidy site with very friendly owner who even offered us a cup of tea on arrival. It is very handy for access to Bristol. Unfortunately there are roadworks in the area which has necessitated the access route being changed and it is now very difficult to get to the site. The revised route requires navigating a very narrow single track steep hill, a very narrow bridge and a tight bend around a house at the end of the bridge. We were in a motorhome and just managed to get in but a fellow member with a caravan damaged his motor-mover on the access route. In addition there was constant road noise from the nearby motorway.
Comment from the Club:
The CL owner has been in touch as she wanted to reassure people visiting the site. The CL owners have worked closely with the local council who have been very helpful in providing additional, appropriate signage to reach Moorend to make it as easy as possible to access the site whilst the roadworks are in place. The bridge is 10 feet wide so caravanners and motorhomers should not experience any problems and tractors and delivery lorries are using the route without difficulty however if any visitors do have any concerns please feel free to contact the CL owner for advice and information regarding another route with a wider bridge. The road closures have also ensured that traffic in Moorend is now dramatically reduced.
If the wind is strong and from the south west you will hear the motorway however the CL owner hopes that their efforts to provide a pleasant and welcoming environment for the duration of people’s stay will be appreciated as they try really hard to ensure guests have the best possible time on their site.
We stayed here for two nights in our VW . Followed the instructions in the book and found the site easily. Roads are quite narrow in places but no problem if you take care. Jenny and Peter made us very welcome and Jenny even offered us a cup of tea, which we accepted! Lovely walks around including an Iron Age hillfort. We had a great lunch at The Golden Heart pub too. We will be back again soon! Thanks Jenny and Peter.
