4 nights in Moreton
The site is quite large with two toilet blocks, great standards as expected and delightful wardens. Good level pitches and a mixture of trees and open areas. On this trip (March 2022) of 4 nights there was ongoing ground works and maintenance but this didn’t cause too much trouble. The pitches near the road can be noisy at times but the road is not too busy and is quiet in the evenings and overnight. Easy walk into Moreton with some nice shops (4 charity shops) and lots of eating places.
On day 1 we caught the number 1 bus at 9.28 from the stop across the road (opposite the bus top sign) to Stratford upon Avon. As bus pass users we can’t officially catch a bus until after 9.30 but the driver was happy to put us into the system once the time allowed him to. The bus travels through lots of side villages along the way including Broadway and Chipping Camden (nice coffee and cake at Katie’s in Chipping Camden on the way back). Saw lots of lovely countryside from the bus. We returned on the Number 2 (normally opposite MacDonalds at the lower end of the High Street but currently from opposite the back of M&S) which terminated at Chipping Camden where we enjoyed a wander and tea. We then caught the next Number 2, which took us on to Moreton.
The second day we caught the 8.53 train to Oxford at £25 for two having booked ahead. The station is a 15 minute walk from the site and the train left from the far platform so over the bridge. 30 minutes takes you into Oxford and a ten minute walk takes you to the city centre.
Day 3 was a Saturday so we set off to Cheltenham on the 801 bus from outside the Corn Exchange at 08.10. This takes the route through Stow on the Wold and Boughton on the Water and more lovely scenery. We caught the bus back to Boughton where we had a wander and tea.
A lovely stay and still lots to do so we will certainly return.
