An adults-only fishing holiday in a remote corner of Northamptonshire: if there’s nothing about that statement that you take exception to, consider booking a place at Heygates, on the banks of the Grand Union Canal. This rural site sits just outside the tiny hamlet of Elkington (which is proud of a history that dates back to the Domesday Book) – this all translates into a blissfully quiet experience. However, it’s also close to major roads such as the M1 and the A14, which means that reaching cities like Rugby (20 minutes) and Northampton (35 minutes) is a (relatively) stress-free exercise. There’s not much on site besides a number of well-maintained hardstanding touring pitches and water hook-up points (you’ll have to have your own toilet and washing facilities). Having said that, if you don’t mind a degree of wild camping, this is a pretty good spot for de-stressing, which you can do on one of the site’s fishing pegs (available by arrangement; license required), fishing rod in hand and your faithful canine companion (a welcome guest here) by your side. No need to fret if fish don’t bite: you can source what you need for your barbecue from the local supermarkets, either in Welford (five minutes) or West Haddon (10 minutes). Or maybe you prefer to make your way to a country pub – the nearest is in Yelvertoft (40 minutes away on foot). Fancy a more challenging walk? The long-distance Jurassic Way (stretching between Oxfordshire and Lincolnshire) is a 10-minute drive away, and you can follow it for about 12 miles all the way to Market Harborough (should take about four hours on foot).

Det siger kunderne

Fredelig, afsides campingplads ved Grand Union Canal. Grundlæggende faciliteter, selvforsynende gæster. Smukke gåture. Adgang i mørke og vejdefekter nævnt. Venlige værter og rolig atmosfære rost. Overgroet fiskeområde er nu rettet.

Areal kørende med grus uden elektricitet

Syntes om The peace after a day travelling. The canal and canal bridge leading to the tow path. The friendly owners. Birdsong and no one around. No fuss, no unnecessary extras just a peaceful grassy field by the canal with lovely trees.

Areal kørende med grus uden elektricitet

Syntes om Small gravel area for a few vans. Water tap available. Hop over the bridge and tow path walks along the canal. Pub and shop in Yelvertoft which is a few minutes away.

Also offers clamping pods with log burner and wood fired hot tub. Very nice indeed

Syntes ikke om Nothing. No real facilities but that was made clear

Areal kørende med grus uden elektricitet

Syntes om Single pitch site next to canal, hard standing, self check in.

Wildlife all around, red kite in the middle of the road as I left.

Being really picky you can hear the A14 in the distance but the birdsong in the morning drowns it out.

Areal kørende med grus uden elektricitet

Syntes om New camper van, so needed a local overnighter to get the feel of her. The simplicity of this pitch is its charm - The gate, the gravel and the water tap. A 30 second walk over the bridge to the tow path of the Grand Union canal for walking the dog on arrival and before departure.

Syntes ikke om Nothing really - I was a little worried I didn’t initially have the correct location from the postcode and different season pictures, but then used the My Three Words reference and that confirmed all was good.

Areal kørende med grus uden elektricitet

Syntes om We were in a VW camper van. All very good. Hardstanding. Quiet.

Syntes ikke om A sign on gate would be good. Directions perfect but we arrived in dark and we’re not 100% sure we’d found right place especially as hadn’t appreciated it was just one pitch site. Almost parked in owners own car parking spot which was further up lane as same gate and gravel layout. For no facilities except a tap could be cheaper.

Anbefal til venner Besøg igen

Fra bestyreren: Thanks for leaving a review Catherine.

We have thought about a sign at great length. Whilst we don't get anti-social problems in the area, we erred on the side of not advertising the presence of vans to minimise any security risks.

Appreciate that finding it in the dark can be a little tricky, which is why we recommend using What3Words, which will navigate you to the gate.

Best wishes.

Lokale seværdigheder

Whatever the season, there’s always something to look at Coton Manor Garden (15 minutes’ drive), which spreads around a 17th-century manor house. First laid out in the 1920s, the gardens are home to woodland bluebell meadows, fragrant rose bushes and colourful foxgloves. For more landscaped gardens, head to Lamport Hall (20 minutes). A vibrant university city, Leicester (40 minutes) is where the remains of Richard III were discovered in 2012. The King Richard III Visitor Centre has interactive displays on the monarch and the War of the Roses, while the Leicester Museum and Art Gallery has a large collection of German Expressionist art. Coventry (40 minutes) is home to a remarkable modern cathedral, built next door to the ruins of its 14th-century predecessor, destroyed during World War II. An exhibition at the Herbert Art Gallery & Museum explores the history of Lady Godiva, who was said to have ridden a horse through the streets of the city in the nude.
