Historical Surprise
Having just arrived home from a few nights at this site I thought I must tell its secret, maybe there aren't many amateur historians out there but when we walked up to 'The Goods in Toilet Block ' we were gobsmacked to not only find the block was an old converted railway building but housed safely inside, and protected in a huge glass case is the Wanderer, commissioned in 1885 by Dr William Gordon Stables, the worlds first purpose built touring caravan, and the inspiration behind the founding of the Caravan Club. Nothing is mentioned in the site info, and when the warden casually commented that "the Wanderer is in the top toilet block" I thought nah, I'm hearing things....but I wasn't. Oh the site is of course the usual excellence, facilities and Wardens alike, as we've come to expect from our club sites. We've been visiting this area for many many years and our favourite village is Bourton-On-The-Water, make it a must on your things to do list.
