Another Great Stay at Tewksbury CC Site ... But
Firstly we come to this site two or three times a year and really do enjoy the town and area. The site is always caringly looked after by the hard working wardens and although the toilet blocks are really showing their age they are kept immaculately clean. Tewksbury itself has some excellent pubs and restaurants all of which are dog friendly (except for the Wetherspoons). Beautiful walks along the river and a large grassed area for dog walking just outside the site. We really do like the bell ringing of the Abbey and the sound of a cricket match on the adjoining cricket club.
Now for the but .... having not been here before in August we were surprised with how the number of pitch spaces appear to have increased to the point of it being rather impersonal. Maybe I am wrong but when the site was full over the weekend we seemed to be squashed very close together. This was further compounded by peoples reluctance to walk around the road to where they are going; instead they seem to think it is acceptable to walk within feet of your unit. Having two dogs that like their space this usually results in a lengthy barking session. Why also do people find it acceptable to transit to and forth from the toilet blocks wearing only dressing gowns or in one case a towel wrapped around them. Maybe I just have to accept I am getting older and things are changing.
As I said initially we do enjoy this site and what it has to offer, maybe we just need to review our times to visit. Sorry for the rant but it is something I think has to be said.
