New Forest View

No availability at present on Pitchup.com Last booked 6 days ago 9.1 328 reviews

Small site with fishing lake next to an 18th-century coaching inn
Within a half-hour drive of Drayton Manor, Snowdome and Twycross Zoo
A 40-minute drive from Birmingham's Cadbury World and Science Museum

The first sight for many folk arriving at New Forest View is a bear. Don’t bolt… he’s called Bosworth (after the famed 15th-century battlefield nearby)… and he doesn’t move. Which is a bit of a shame for him, for there's a hefty spread of activities and attractions in the surrounding heart of England counties of Leicestershire, Derbyshire, Staffordshire and beyond, from forest walks and wildlife encounters to winter sports, fishing and waterskiing. Get cracking right on site, as this small Leicestershire park for touring vehicles has its own fishing pond, bookable in advance. Next door, the coaching inn has been welcoming thirsty and hungry travellers for four centuries, with real ales, bar snacks and restaurant meals, regular Chinese and Indian carvery nights and a beer garden with a kids’ play area (which might not have been there four centuries ago…). For true fishing aficionados, there are further carp to be caught a five-minute drive away at Tucker’s Holt, and at Kingsbury Waterpark (half an hour). The latter makes a decent destination for non-anglers as well, with walks, cycle trails and birdwatching, plus waterskiing and jetskiing on the lakes. Dogs are welcome on this site.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Lovely site, friendly warden and easy location for us. Perfect for one or two nights.

Disliked: No washing up facilities and showers are a bit tricky to use ( on a timer and the meter for putting your money in isn’t where the shower is)

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Good quiet location if stopping off en-route. Well thought out landscaped site with the pond in the middle offering a central view and some privacy. Level pitch for easy setup. Friendly manager.

Disliked: The name of the site is a bit misleading if you don't know the area. The lack of hot water was disappointing, especially at the price point (£40 + £3 dog) which was the most expensive site on our journey around the UK. Shower in your motorhome if you can, otherwise bring plenty of £1 coins if you want a shower.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Stunning setting. Very clean. Bill and the wardens were very chatty and friendly. Easy booking in process. Shower was hot, but not very powerful, but the shower block was very clean.

Disliked: Only a tiny niggle but paying top end for the stay then having to pay £1 for the shower was a little disappointing, although would not put me off staying again.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Small site but lovely location around a small fishing lake. Easy to get to and convenient. Pitches were ok in size and easy to access. Warden helpful and friendly. Pub next door was great with beer garden and playground. Allowed booking of 1 night. Site secured by a gate so secure for children. Small park area. Small fishing lake was well fenced off so safe.

Disliked: The shower facilities were basic, cost £1 and only 1 on site so used own shower. Quite an expensive site for available facilities. Would need a car if staying longer than 1/2 nights but ok as a stop over.

Local attractions

To learn more about Bosworth and its battle, you could steam over there in suitably historic style, taking a vintage train ride from Shackerstone (10 minutes’ drive), or if you prefer 21st-century transport, the Battlefield Heritage Centre is 20 minutes away. For the thrills of the battlefield without the other bits, Drayton Manor Theme Park has all manner of white-knuckle adventure rides, or you could hit the icy slopes of the year-round indoor Tamworth Snowdrome (both half an hour away). Warm up afterwards with a trip round the spicy eateries of Birmingham’s Balti Triangle, topped off by sticky sweet chocolate factory tours at Cadbury World and experimental missions at the city’s Thinktank Science Museum (40 minutes). How wild do you like your wildlife? Twyford Zoo (10 minutes) has tarantulas and snow leopards; there’s a riot of feathered colours flapping about at Tropical Birdland (20 minutes), and wooded walks with those cute South American camelids at National Forest Llama Treks are within half an hour. It’s a 15-minute trip to see the early stages of the New National Forest, and there’s bike hire at the Youth Hostel if you want to see the saplings from the saddle. More mature woodland, plus walks, horse riding and birdwatching can be sampled at Sence Valley Forest Park, 10 minutes’ drive away, or you can beetle over to Bradgate Park (half an hour) on Leicester’s outskirts, for gentle hills and Tudor history, deer herds and skylarks.
