Excellent countryside site

Have been CC member for some 27 years, never visited this site previously so whilst holidaying at Willingcott decided to include this site as part of our holiday itenary. What had we missed through the years. This must be rated as one of the best country area club sites, set in the Exe Valley, site in terraced rows so all pitches get lovely views across the valley. Unfortunately there has been lots of rain around lately so the beautiful views weren't always apparent. Frontal area of the site has three straight tarmac rows set as stated in terraced formation, with large grassed pitches further down. The toilet block, immaculately kept has piped music, and is between the end of the central tarmac road and beginning of those grassed pitched areas. Wardens extremely friendly and welcoming, as normally is the case, a big thank you to them. Dulverton around three miles away, interesting large village with some independent shops, nice gift shop and offie. A co-op to serve essential needs. Please look in the parish church, loved the interior and the fascinating artwork / tapestry of the pews/prayer mat cushions. Further away towards Tiverton is Nat.Trust 'Knightshayes', but watch the route you take, access is off small country lane off main A 396 near Cove. We followed sat nav as we wanted to go via small pretty village of Bampton, and ended up in a narrow dirt track that attempts to enter you through the back of the estate. The gate is padlocked so a slow trek back along the cart track - beware, this is Devon / Somerset boundary and roads can be very tight. Another day, when you've gone past Dulverton you are then on the Exmoor territory, not far away is the Exmoor pony centre, and if you're lucky you may spot some grazing on the wilds of the moors. A lovely area, a lovely site, and a lovely way to combine sites in Devon and this unspoilt area of Somerset. Another site to put on our 27 year list of visits, and one we would definitely recommend, and return to.
