Our stays at New House Farm

My wife and I have been coming to the CL for almost fifteen years and have got to know Rob and Emma the site owners ( and what nice people they are). We are locals from Worcester so we know the best access route to the site. If you are coming from the direction of Worcester along the Martley Road ( B4204 ) which most people probably will, you will go past a sign for Wichenford and immediately go past a sign for the Cob House on your left. About 500 yards further on, take the left turn ( signposted Broadwas ) into Willow Road. Continue along the road and you will see a left turn with a Post box on a pole. Carry on past this turning and take the next right turn (about 100 yards) into Hope House Lane. The entrance to the CL is about 300 yards along the lane, at the end of an old brick barn on the left side of the road, through a five bar gate with a CAMC sign. The CL is immediately to the right, with a hard standing area, three fresh water points and several EHU points. The grassed area is gently sloping, so you will need levelling aids. I should add that coming this way avoids going through Martley village, where the road does get rather narrow. There are houses further along the lane and another farm, so there is a little traffic that uses the road but in all the years that we have used the CL this has never been an issue. The site owners store some caravans on another part of the farm, but this has never been part of the CL. At this point I would like to mention the toilet facilities. The site owners have spent a considerable amount of money on new facilities to be open at the end of June. Regarding shops, pubs, etc if you go into Martley village there is a local convenience store by the name of Central Stores and a pub called the Admiral Rodney. There is also a pub on the B4204 called the Masons Arms, nice place, good food. If you fancy Thai food, there is a Thai restaurant called Chim Doo in Venn Lane, which is next to the Masons Arms. Turn into Venn Lane and after about 300 yards there is a Georgian style house on the left. Turn into the courtyard and Chim Doo is on the left behind the house. Excellent food, best to book in advance. Takeaway is also available, best to place a phone order. If you head towards Worcester, there is a pub in Lower Broadheath called the Bell, again nice place, good food. Carry on into Worcester and just past the Worcester City sign, there is a Tesco Express on the left. As I have already stated, we have been coming to this CL for fifteen years and will continue to do so because we like the site so much. You are only eight miles from Worcester, but you could be a hundred miles away. I like to look out for the International Space Station when it comes over and whilst I am waiting outside the caravan for the ISS to appear, the sound of silence is deafening, such is the tranquility of the site. Come and spend some time here, you will not regret it.
