Small Tucked Away Well Kept Site
The site is located on the edge of Ashwell, quite a pretty small town. Access is fine if you follow directions though the streets are narrow in places so if you miss the last turn with a large outfit, it could be awkward.
A smallish site that is well kept by two very friendly and helpful wardens. Hard standings are generously sized and there are a number of grass pitches on an adjacent very slightly sloping area.
Usual CC facilities are available.
Ashwell has three pubs, our favourite is the one near the large church the Bushel and Strike. Good food and large beer garden. Sometimes need to book a table in busy periods. Lovely streets with many very old buildings and the spring are worth viewing.
Outside the site entrance is a by-way in two directions named Ashwell Street. Arrow straight and almost traffic free, it goes for miles. Go left from the site gate for beautiful walks past fields of crops, the wheat in late summer is amazing.
Hitchin is a ten minute drive but IMO not a picturesque place.
There was a bit of noise disturbance from a large house-building site next to the site during our stay - the only reason for the 3-stars for peace and quiet. When that's finished, I expect it would be very quiet. A large caravan storage area is used frequently but it's not terribly noisy.
