The Thames Head Inn: Level pitches throughout the site (photo added by manager on 18/08/2022)

General

  • Peaceful site on the edge of the Gloucestershire Cotswolds
  • 10 minutes’ drive from the towns of Cirencester and Tetbury
  • In the grounds of the Thames Head Inn bar-restaurant

Stunning landscapes, scenic market towns and the peace and quiet of the Cotswolds… How could you say no to that? At family-friendly site The Thames Head Inn, four miles from Cirencester market town in the Gloucestershire Cotswolds, you definitely won't want to miss the chance.

Thames Head is well-placed for exploring the spectacular Cotswolds on foot or by bike – the start of the Thames Path, which follows the world-famous river for 184 miles from source to sea, is half a mile from the site, and there are loads of cycles tours and walking routes starting in Cirencester and Tetbury, both within 10 minutes’ drive of the site.

If that's not your scene, kick back on the dog-friendly site in the shade of the trees, soaking in the scenic and peaceful Cotswolds countryside, or take a relaxed stroll through the fields with Rex.

Worked up an appetite? The site is in the grounds of the Thames Head Inn bar-restaurant, where food is served well into the evening and the drinks keep flowing until closing (remember to book a table, as mealtimes can get very busy). If you fancy fending for yourself, pick up supplies in Cirencester or Kemble – a 20-minute walk away – and fire up the barbecue. For a change of scenery – and menus – there are plenty of restaurants within 10 minutes of Thames Head.

Gravel pitches at back of nice pub.03/12/2023

Reviewer's country: United KingdomJane S.Mobile phone iconConfirmed

    I just stayed the one night. Reasonably spaced gravel pitches, at the rear of a pub, had read previous reviews about road noise but I didn’t hear the road at all. The shower and toilet are a few yards away from the pitches. Had a nice quiet stay.

    Lovely little site behind the pub which was super friendly and served excellent food.

    In between Cirencester and Tetbury, which are both beautiful.

    Good value but only one toilet and shower for the camp site, which was ok.

    We will definitely go back.

    Disliked: 

    The area by the CDP and waste area was very slippery under foot.

Good overnight stay26/11/2023

    Level hardstanding, clean tidy pitch with EHU,. Access to shower and toilet 24hours. Pub warm lovely atmosphere, food was very good, service was great, dog friendly. Short walk on busy road, and over some very wet fields (wellies needed when we went, might be ok in drier months) takes you to the source of the River Thames. We enjoyed our first pub overnighter in our campervan.

Local attractions

There are plenty of stately homes near The Thames Head Inn if you want to get a feel for the history of the area, with Newark Park, Sudeley Castle, Dyrham Park, Bowood House and Berkeley Castle all within 45 minutes’ drive of the site. TV addict? Visit Chavenage House, 15 minutes from Thames Head, which you may recognise as the Poldark family home of Trenwith from the eponymous BBC drama…

If you’re more at home in the outdoors, explore some of the many gardens within 20 minutes of the site, rub elbows with the royals on a trip to Highgrove Gardens at the private residence of Charles and Camilla or, on a grander scale, stroll around the national arboretum at Westonbirt.

Got kids trailing along? Get the best of both worlds at Cotswold Wildlife Park and Garden – meet the giraffes, lions and camels, then wander through the gardens at the Victorian manor house. If that’s not hitting the spot, take the kids to learn more about the Romans at Corinium Museum in Cirencester or give them Harry Potter vibes on the Swindon and Cricklade steam railway.

If all of this sounds a little too sedate for you, never fear... Have a high-octane day at the Gloucestershire Rally School or test your mettle with a trip to Head for Heights – that adrenaline will be pumping in no time.
