Good for families

One of the best.

What a very nice site, even when full, it didn’t seem crowded and the facilities coped. Very nice staff, helpful leaflet on arrival showing the way to shops, supermarkets, pubs and buses. Two shower blocks to choose from, one, as mentioned is older, but still fine, this has adjustable shower heads as opposed to the fixed wall mounted type in the newer block, which I don’t care for myself. The short walk to the Farm shop is a must on day one :-) There’s a surprising amount of choice of food from ready meals, cooked meats, bread, cakes, all you want at good prices too. The pork pies are the BEST I’ve ever had and I’m an expert. Added bonus is you get a discount on everything in the shop on production of a Caravan Club membership card, also in the coffee shop and restaurant. The White Swan pub does very nice food including a carvery, it’s not really in walking distance though. There’s a transport museum next door, it’s now £6 and is only open weekends and Bank Holidays. I would recommend the short drive to Hatton Locks, 21 flight with a cafe at the top locks, parking is limited, but it’s only £1.20 all day. From here, you can walk to Birmingham, it’s about 3 miles on the towpath. Only one thing I had problems with, the hard standing is the hardest I’ve ever met. Blue Diamond Rock pegs only made it two inches in, stainless steel coach bolts screwed in about the same amount. “Take a bigger hammer next time” I told myself, at least a two pounder!! Access is very good, just a short distance from M42 jnct 3. The site is very quiet with no traffic noise considering the proximity of major roads.
