  • Quiet site next to an old 17th-century battlefield in rural surrounds
  • On Radway’s outskirts, a 20-minute drive from Stratford-upon-Avon
  • Direct access to woodland, the Battlefields Trail and Centenary Way
Arm yourself with all the gear you need for a top trip, then march towards Applecross Fields for a stay next to the 17th-century site of the Battle of Edgehill. This Warwickshire farm park is just next to this historic spot on the edge of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a 20-minute drive from the equally historic Stratford-upon-Avon. Once you’ve yomped over here, pick a pitch anywhere on the four-acre field and get settled while the kids play on the grass. Dogs are welcome at this site as well and can be exercised on a lead around the farm or taken off into the countryside for walkies. Whether you’re travelling with four-legged family members or not, make sure to factor in some time for wanders on a network of footpaths and routes leading directly from the park, including around the Upton House Estate. Part of the Battlefields Trail and Centenary Way, this is a sought-after spot by historically minded folk with an interest in the English Civil War. Plenty of other activities are within a 30-minute drive, including strolls to a pub in Edgehill (around a half an hour’s walk), horse rides from the stables in the village and gun practice sessions at the Edgehill Shooting Ground (five minutes’ drive). Supplies are sorted in Banbury (20 minutes), which has a whole host of shops and restaurants, or closer by in Kineton with its local amenities, chip shop, Indian restaurant, tapas bar and pubs (10 minutes). Applecross Fields also has an on-site outdoor play group called Woods and Wellies, suitable for children up to the age of seven. It runs three mornings a week and on select weekend dates, and can be booked separately.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Lovely quiet remote location. Nice prepared flat pitches, don't expect alot its a field with water and a compost toilet but it's all we needed for the night.

Disliked: Nothing really, just a basic quiet field to spend the night. Couldn't pitch up any where as field wasn't harvested but I'd never had made it with my van so low. The prepared area was lovely flat and plenty of space

Recommend to friends Visit again

Loved it as an interesting change from manicured lawns and pitches.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked: The solitude . . this is what we would regard as a wild camping site, without the brambles and midges. It's really basic with undefined pitches and an old school dunny. There is water on site, but no power, which means you have to think about your battery usage.

Disliked: Nothing

Local attractions

This is a brilliant base for explores in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Take off on tours of cracking Cotswold villages such as Bourton-on-the-Water (40 minutes’ drive) or stick closer to home with trips to the National Herb Centre and the Redwings Horse Sanctuary (10 minutes). Go north to Stratford-upon-Avon next for wanders around Shakespeare’s birthplace. The Swan Theatre, where the bard’s plays are performed, is here, as is his wife Anne Hathaway’s historical cottage. Already swotted up on the poet’s life and work? Rent a boat to bob up and down on the Avon River. For a trip to yet another top town, chuck Royal Leamington Spa (25 minutes) on the itinerary and roam around Regency buildings such as the colonnade-covered Royal Pump Rooms, formerly a 19th-century bathhouse and now the Leamington Spa Art Gallery and Museum.
