Good for families

Great for train enthusiasts

This was my first time at this site although I'm familiar with the area. Lots of interesting places to visit with good public transport nearby. The steam trains were an added interest and lovely to see. Folks wave at you from the trains and, Saturday evening, one actually stopped on the line adjacent to the site whilst serving the diners. Unfortunately, at the moment, the top end of the site can be a tad noisy whilst construction work is taking place on the track side but worth it I hope once the new station is built. Good size pitches, clean facilities block, park adjacent for exercising dogs, as well as a pub with play area and, on the whole, a good site. Pity that there's always the few who feel that the 5 mph and 12 noon arrival time is for everybody else and not them. There are two barriers and any more than one early arrival can cause problems at the first barrier for those already 'in residence' needing to get back on site. The access road is very poor as, apart from the cobbles which can't be helped, the area immediately in front of the first barrier and pub car park is in a dreadful state with mega potholes so care is needed. Will definitely use this site again.
