Happy New Year - 2018 - Great Wardens

We chose the Cherry Hinton site to see in the New Year along with our friends who had traveled along in their Motor-home. The site is located in a position fairly local to us being only about an hour away from home so close enough to abandon all plans and return home if the weather really cut up rough, The site is situated in the floor of a former limestone quarry and in spite of several days of heavy rain before we arrived it was remarkably free of standing water. However the wardens took great care to see that we were pitched up satisfactorily using the hard standings to best advantage. The directions in the handbook were perfect for finding the site with a minimum of fuss and we were led directly there. There is a lot to take the interest of the visitor to Cherry Hinton being on the 'doorstep' so to speak of the City of Cambridge. An excellent bus service operates just five minutes walk from the site to whisk one into this famous centre of learning in about 30 minutes. A fantastic network of cycle-ways is easily accessed to take one into the city with some routes being partially off road or on quiet urban streets away from the main thoroughfares. The wardens were very helpful and knowledgeable of the area and hosted a social for two hours in the site office with mulled wine and mince pies on New Years Eve and all campers were welcomed to attend. We departed on 2 January 2018 after 4 nights feeling our time had been well spent and it is certainly a place we will revisit at some future date. The facilities on the site are starting to look a bit 'tired' but the Site staff were preparing to close the site down the following day and substantial alterations are to be made to the access at the site entrance and we understand an update to the sanitation block facilities is also in hand with partial re-opening in March 2018.
