This was our first visit to Burford and the site in now firmly in our top 5 Caravan Club sites and we will be returning. The site is very well maintained and the wardens work tirelessly to keep it so from the day to day cleaning to the management of the grounds. While they always seemed to be doing something they also managed to remain ‘anonymous’ until you needed them and then there they were. The wardens were the least fussy of just about any that I have come across and this lead to a very relaxing, laid-back holiday experience. We were somewhat disappointed with Burford itself. While quite pretty there are many others in the area much prettier. The shops are clearly aimed at the coach parties (most in the area seem to be) that come to the area with prices high for everything from souvenirs to lunch. For day to day shopping there is a Coop but the 3 supermarkets in Carterton which is only a few miles away are a better option. Witney was a bit of a hidden gem. While not as pretty as many of the other nearby villages it had a good range of shops from High Street names to local businesses split into two distinct areas, the old High Street / Market Square and a more modern but tastefully planned shopping centre. The market wasn’t up to much but with free parking for up to 9 hours in the town centre multi-storey it’s worth a visit. We had lots of lovely walks in and around the nearby towns and villages, a trip to the Roman Villa (we went on a Roman themed day which was excellent), The Corinium Museum in Cirencester (excellent value at about £5 per adult) and a nice day in Burton-on-the-Water (but avoid the model village, rip off at over £3 per adult and then they have the cheek to charge another £1 per person for the model museum inside). The Old Mill at Lower Slaughter is pretty but not worth a visit in itself, one small shop, an overpriced museum and a very small tea room; if you want to visit consider including in your day to Burton-on-the-Water and don’t bother with the museum (one small room). Leaving the best attraction until last a visit to the Cotswolds Wildlife Park across the road from the site is a must. With its beautiful gardens, variety of animals, open view enclosures and caring staff it is an excellent day out. The food and drink options are also very reasonable (although we took a picnic and used the covered area provided on an overcast and showery day) and the entry fee very good value for money even before the discount one can get if you take advantage of the offer on the club site.
