A well maintained and spacious CL set in attractive open countryside with farmland views. The CL is 300 meters off the busy single carriageway A120 but it is out of sight of the road. Traffic noise is remarkably muffled and unobtrusive, probably because the road's speed limit is 40 mph reducing to 30 mph by the CL and slower still as the traffic backs up either side of the traffic lights in Little Hadham village. The CL isn't under the flightpath of nearby Stanstead Airport but every now and then an aircraft flys overhead at some height. There are no flights at night. Other than this, the CL is very peaceful. Access is easy and TV and mobile phone signals are generally good and the short cut grass drains well when it rains. There are many quiet and attractive countryside walks in the area including from the site via 3 paths to the South, West and North. 1:25,000 OS Explorer 194 gives good coverage and we found the AA book of 50 Hertfordshire Walks to be useful for both local and more distant walks. The local pub, the historic Hadham Hall & Church and a large polo complex with matches alternate Sundays are a short walk away. The delightful Much Hadham village (best kept in Hertfordshire) is a little further away from where it is possible to arrange a visit to the nearby Henry Moore Foundation. There is no shortage of good pubs/places to eat. Bishops Stortford is an attractive and interesting town which can be reached quickly and easily by car and includes a good rail link to London and a Tesco Superstore hidden by trees from the road that is only 5 minutes away. The meandering Hertfordshire Way passes North of the site and provides an alternative route into Bishops Stortford for those wanting a long walk. NT Hatfield Forest, Ware, Hertford and the Lee Canal, IWM Duxford, NT Wimpole are worthy car trips. Cambridge can be reached surprisingly quickly via the M11. An advantage of being on the A120 is that it's relatively easy to get to places. If we had stayed for longer than a week we would have found more things to do.

Used the site for 5 night stay whilst son away having flown from Stansted airport. Site well kept with useful info housed in American style post box. Mrs Mardell visited for the fees and provided us with a marrow - apparently Mr M has produced a few too many this year! Public footpaths abound and country lanes / bridleways a plenty for road or trail cycling. Bishops Stortford just up the road and other places to visit not too far away. As others have mentioned there is some aircraft activity but not intrusive and didn't spoil our stay - if you book a site near an airport, it comes with the territory. Very accommodating when asked to delay our departure. Would recommend.
