Liked: the peace and quiet, the wildlife and scenery

Disliked: the bumpy road lol

Liked: The Paddock is a tranquil site in area well known for things that commonly fly past –be they Marsh Harriers and Barn Owls over the adjacent fields and RSPB site or fighters passing overhead from nearby RAF Mildenhall. It can be a difficult place to find initially but the owner of the site, Stuart, is great at giving directions when panic starts to set in as the road narrows and is always there to meet you. The site is small, flat and well-drained with trees defining the generous grassy pitches. The toilets and electric showers (free) are located in an old portacabin next to the site office, from where you can purchase a few basic forgotten things if required. Add in the georgous, hot weather we were lucky enough to have and you have a great place to be.

Disliked: The local council has cut-back on footpath maintenance to the degree that walking directly from the site into the surrounding countryside poses a threat to your health and well-being, such are the amounts of nettles that thrive in the area. This forces you have to drive or walk on the roads to get about.
