Liked: Absolutely beautiful place, plenty of space. Lots of wildlife running around your feet. Easy ish walk into Marlborough through the woodland down the hill into town. Lovely people running the site.
Disliked: I can’t find any dislikes but if I had to list somthing it is : No taxis local really not that it is the sites fault but bit of a walk back up the hill if you go into town. Luckily a local gentleman took us back up the hill. No showers either however it was stated and beggars can’t be choosers.

Liked: Perfect for direct access to Savernake Forest with its magnificent ancient trees. Avebury stone circle also nearby and we loved the Beam Engines at Crofton.
Disliked: Toilet block showing its age. Clean but small, cubicles were very compact and there were no disabled facilities at all. No showers on site.
