  • Peaceful adults-only Wiltshire caravan site near Chippenham
  • Half an hour’s drive to Bath, 10 minutes to Lacock and five to the M4
  • Security barrier and dog-exercise field; pub five minutes’ walk
Neatly manicured grounds and lots of greenery dividing the pitches into bays are just a taster of what's in store at adults-only Plough Lane Caravan Site, near Chippenham in Wiltshire. Thanks to its proximity to the M4 (five minutes’ drive), it’s also thoroughly easy to access (no reversing down narrow lanes for tractors here) as well as being close to the southern Cotswolds and gorgeous historic Bath. The site is secured with a barrier and all pitches have electric hook-ups, water and waste water disposal points. Carefully maintained facilities include a heated shower block with hot water, spacious cubicles and hair dryers, plus a launderette with an iron and dryer. Brought the dogs on holiday too? Let them have an off-lead runaround in the designated exercise field. Looking for inspiration for days out? Have a nose through the books in the information area, which also has books and DVDs to keep you entertained on any rainy days. Although it's on the edge of open countryside, the site still offers lots of local amenities: you can walk to stops on bus routes to Chippenham and the Cotswolds town of Malmesbury within five minutes, and if you like the sound of a pint, there’s a pub within roughly the same distance. Going down the self-catering route? Pick up supplies from the supermarket on the outskirts of Chippenham (five minutes’ drive).

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: The showers and toilets were very clear and the showers were hot but didn’t stay on for very long and you had to constantly press the button to keep the shower going. Trying washing yourself with one hand as the other had to hold down the button.

Disliked: O had a great big light facing my bedroom window and had to put towels up to make my bedroom dark so I could sleep. I asked for the light to be switched off but it didn’t happen. I should have asked to be moved. Also in plot 11 the internet is non existent which was very frustrating as there were spaces close to reception empty that I could have been placed and been able to use the WiFi.

Paul D. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Fully-serviced hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Easy to find with easy access though the drive is a little bumpy. Super sized pitches and well drained. There is some main road noise but overall the the site is quiet and peaceful. It has mature shrubs and trees breaking the site up into bays. Relatively flat walks into the village and to Chippenham. A morrisons superstore also within walking distance which also sells cheap fuel.

Disliked: Toilets and showers need a little tlc, with black mould on the walls, particularly around the windows but on whole always cleaned, warm with a pleasant fragrance. The grass cuttings were dumped around the edge of the dog walk and left to rot, smelling and encroaching onto the path.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Lovely flat hard standing pitch, good size and not close to next caravan. Good dog exercise field with a path. Nice and quiet site with spotlessly clean toilet and showers. Shower gel, shampoo and body lotion provided in the showers. I loved the body lotion! All facilities were good and easy access. Met with happy smiley, helpful staff.

Disliked: Nothing

Local attractions

Fancy a nose around the southern Cotswolds? Lacock (10 minutes’ drive) is a rather lovely place to start, with lots of Georgian cottages and a riverside abbey where scenes from Harry Potter were filmed. Heading north is Castle Combe (15 minutes), often called the prettiest village in England), with a medieval market cross and a sprinkling of cosy tea rooms. Go way back in time to marvel at prehistoric man’s ingenuity with a visit to the stone circles and informative visitor centre at Stonehenge (50 minutes), or get up close to standing stones at Avebury. On the way between these two landmarks, stop off to admire 19th-century engineering skills at Caen Hill Locks (both half an hour) near Devizes, where a series of 29 locks rise up a steep hillside. Another local must-see Longleat (40 minute), with its popular safari tours to spot lions, tigers and giraffes, but if your interests are more city-based, head straight to Bath (half an hour) for its indie shopping and regal architecture, or nip up the M4 to Designer Outlet Swindon (20 minutes) for some serious bargain hunting.
