5 days/4 nights in July 24
Access into the site is difficult if approaching the entrance along Beccles Road from the centre of Bungay so approach from the other direction on Beccles Road, or, off Kents Lane directly opposite the entrance. There is plenty of space to pull-up in front of the CL’s farm gates. Take care when exiting as there is a blind bend to the left. The site is large enough for 4 outfits but not the 5 we had on our first night. The pitch numbering stops at 4 and if it carried on, 5 would be too close to 4 and on sloping ground. Arrival is from 1400 hrs which is later than other sites. We didn’t see the owners until the morning after we arrived as they had been on holiday. This might explain why the grass needed cutting and the large single refuse bin hadn’t been emptied for a while and was fly ridden. Neither were addressed during our stay. Working out bus times and routes around Bungay was a challenge. We caught the 580/1 to Beccles and back on one day and to Diss and back on another. Like Bungay, both are good to visit. There are other bus services we didn’t use to Norwich, Halesworth, Great Yarmouth and possibly Southwold. Many but not all busses pass the site along Beccles Road where the traffic can be seen and heard. This and the proximity of housing gives the site an urban feel. That said, we liked walking and cycling from the site and walked what we assumed was the Bungay Loop. Some printed advice on routes would be nice. The Bungay library was a source of local information and the Museum and Castle might have been but they were both shut during our visit.
