“What lovely site. Easy access through a gate which is set in so car and caravan is off the road. It was so peaceful and tranquil. The owner came to check we were ok each day. There is a fruit shop outside the gate from his orchard. I would certainly recommend this CL. ”
“Rural idyll views that haven’t changed for 200 years . Spacious pitches and an easy route in for wide vehicles providing you follow the directions . This is a simple site with very basic facilities and all the better for it . The owners are most welcoming and it’s difficult not to relax the moment you get here. We promptly cancelled our plans for onward travel to extend our stay here. The site offers truly exceptional value for money. This part of Gloucestershire is surrounded by areas of outstanding natural beauty yet isn’t overrun with tourists like us !”
“Perfect, just perfect! A quiet site with lovely views all round. All the services we needed, none that we didn’t, easy to find and access with a decent sized motorhome. We brought the bikes - there’s excellent cycling in the area surrounded with quiet lanes. Easy access to Gloucester, Ledbury and Tewkesbury and there’s a good bakery within a mile that opens at 7:00 for those breakfast pastries! We will certainly return here.”
“One of the best cl sites we have had the pleasure of staying on, excellent simple facilities with outstanding views and very welcoming owners. Easy access with lovely walks nearby. Highly recommend”
Great Walks
For walkers, the location is unmatched. Located on Whitmore Way Footpath, this 12.5-mile circular walk traverses the Parishes of Corse and Staunton, in Gloucestershire. The route is mainly level, with some short ascents and descents. It passes through greenways, quiet lanes, cultivated farmland, and open grazing.
A short drive leads you to Gullet Quarry and Crickley Hill Country Park — both offering panoramic views across Gloucestershire, Malvern Hills, and even the Cotswolds on clear days. Robinswood Hill, just south of Gloucester, presents wildlife-rich trails and a scenic picnic area atop a nature reserve.
Adventures
A few miles further, the Forest of Dean beckons with world-class attractions. Puzzlewood’s moss-covered pathways and mysterious rock formations feel straight out of a fairy tale. Clearwell Caves’ history spans thousands of years, inviting exploration beneath the earth’s surface. And the Sculpture Trail weaves art and nature together across a several-mile woodland stroll.
