This site was the first CC site I visited with my van nearly six years ago. It still remains, in my opinion, one of the best sites that the CC has. The site is situated in a wooded area on what was once a Gunpowder Factory. There are still ruins which you can see where the factory buildings once stood. The excellent layout of this site is what makes it so appealing to us. This is not what many sites are like: caravans in long rows like a caravan dealership! The layout of the site means that you can be as sociable or as isolated as you like. Pitches are dotted around the woodland area. Yes, some are very dark because you are in a wood and I do agree with one of the other reviews in that some of the trees could do with having a visit from a team of tree surgeons! However, there are open pitches available, you just need to drive around until you find one. I have driven around this site three times until I've found a pitch that appeals to me. Pitches have both hook up and aerial points and there are plenty of water and waste points around the site. The CC has also invested in significant wi-fi on this site and there are masts everywhere. We always get an excellent signal. Some people have stated that it is very dark at night. Again, you have to accept that you are in a woodland. A decent torch is a must especially if you are walking around the site at night dog walking or going to the shower block. Two shower blocks on site which are kept immaculately clean by the wardens. The team of wardens here are by far the friendliest team I have encountered across any of the CC sites I have visited. They are not intrusive at all when out on patrol, always very friendly to see you on arrival and cannot do enough for you: a credit to the CC in appointing this type of team on a site. The access road is quite narrow, however there are passing points along the entrance. Access onto the site is restricted by means of an electric fob operated barrier, but it is highly unlikely that you are going to get visits from 'undesirables' due to its location. It is also an excellent site at Halloween time due to the spooky atmosphere and layout. Most people who visit at this time decorate their vans, children can go 'trick or treating' around the site and you really can enjoy the Halloween atmosphere. All in all, an excellent site. It won't suit everyone due to the woodland location, however I would give it a go and see for yourself.
