We visited New Barn Farm CL with our caravan in June 2023. Rachel came from the farm and greeted us straight away. We picked the pitch next to the toilets and shower, which were cleaned daily and were always spic and span. No charge for the hot shower. All the pitches are hard standing and dead level with lots of room for the caravan and awning without using the grassy areas. There’s drinking water and grey water drainage on each pitch along with un-metered 16A electricity. The water pressure is very high so this may be a problem if direct connection to the caravan (as opposed to being via an aquaroll and pump) is used. We used the latter system but turned the water tap off every time we went out and last thing at night, as we always do. The site offers good views of open countryside to the north but there is no view to the south due to the very high hedge between to site and the road (Foxley Road). There are no outside lights on the site, which is a good thing in my opinion because stargazing is great (weather permitting) with virtually zero light pollution with no major towns close by. Foxley Road is very quiet. The approach to the site is straightforward from either direction on Foxley Road even though it’s single track. If you approach from the north via the A433 (as we did) there is a jog over a narrow bridge over the Sherston branch of the River Avon in Easton Grey which requires some care with a caravan. TV reception is good but can fade a little in the evening. Mobile reception (in my case EE) was a little flaky sometimes for both calls and data. A mobile modem/router with external antenna might work better than holding my phone against the window trying to get a signal. There’s lots to do. Many public footpaths (get a map), Stonehenge (although too busy to appreciate any sort of spirituality or atmosphere), Old Sarum (much better in that regard), close-by Westonbirt Arboretum with many kilometres of easy trails, most wheelchair friendly, the excellent Great Western Steam Museum in Swindon (where you can operate the levers in the old fashioned signal box and go in Queen Victoria’s Royal Train) to name but a few. A really enjoyable break. Chris and Trevor Armstrong
