  • Riverside pitches at a rural spot around 10 miles from Cambridge
  • Shepreth Wildlife Park 20 minutes' walk; 25 mins' drive to Audley End
  • Easy access to well-lit cycle path, main road and train station
Day out in Cambridge or some time spent wandering around the countryside? Either one is equally possible for guests staying at Shepreth Mill. This Cambridgeshire site is just under 10 miles from Cambridge city centre but also surrounded by lovely rural landscapes to explore. Getting around should be nice and straightforward – and you’ll have options too. The A10 passes just by the site, as does a new cycle path running all the way to the city (it’s all lit up at night so don’t worry about staying in town for a drink or some food). Shepreth village is a mile away, with a train station for those who’d rather get around by public transport. The village also has a tea room, and there’s a pub a few minutes' walk from the site too, but for more eating options and shops you’ll need to head to Melbourn (five minutes’ drive) or on to Royston (10 minutes). When not out and about, you’ll be staying at a pretty site that’s got a river bordering two sides and a lake within the grounds. The lake is a good place for wildlife spotting, as the island has ducks, moorhens and swans on it at all times; look out across the river Shep, meanwhile, and you may spot the residents of the badger sett on the other side. If you fancy a lengthier exploration of the river, you can stroll along the waterside path that leads to an RSPB reserve in one direction and a good coffee shop in the other. Simple facilities on site include toilets, showers, a washing-up area and a chemical disposal point.

Power optional grass and gravel campsite

Liked Lovely site with a very peaceful pond with ducks. Owner was very helpful. Very quiet. Great size pitches with good toilet and showers.

Disliked Nothing tondo with the site but getting a cab anywhere was very difficult and the local pub has kinda closed down so it wasn't really practical to walk anywhere. Great site if you want to stay put and chill.

Power optional grass and gravel campsite

Liked Good for rail links into Cambridge.
Lake area really nice.

Disliked A lot of residential caravans and they are scruffy looking units too.
Bathrooms in run down ports cabins and looks like it’s not going to change anytime soon, dirty showers and leaking toilet in the men’s.
Very close pitches fire break gaps not being adhered to.
So much potential here going to waste, it could be a stunning site.
And all this could be yours for £30 a night plus £12 for electricity.

Would not recommend. Even if desperate!!!

Power optional grass and gravel campsite

Liked Nothing

Disliked Traffic noise from A10.Awful during day.
Small uneven pitches.
Grass uncut.
Showers and toilets tiny ( old construction site huts) and not very clean.
Water taps for washing up basically non-existent.Very poor pressure and have to use one hand to keep tap on whilst trying to wash up with other.
Temperature of water only luke warm.
A lot of long term pitches very unkempt.Dont think grass gets cut whilst occupied which leads to a very untidy grubby scene.

Local attractions

While you’re up in Shepreth (20 minutes' walk), stop in at Shepreth Wildlife Park to meet all sorts of exotic animals including tigers, aardvarks and red pandas. The same amount of walking in the opposite direction will take you to RSPB Fowlmere to see native species instead. It’s likely you’ll spot some wildlife while out and about too – the walk from Barrington to Haslingfield is a particular favourite, with great views over Cambridge too. For a closer look at what Cambridge (half an hour by car or public transport) has to offer, spend a day (or more) in the city, dipping in and out of the colleges, visiting the museums and taking a boat trip on the river. To see some more fabulous buildings, plan outings to the National Trust estates Wimpole Hall (15 minutes), centred around a splendid 17th-century mansion, and Anglesey Abbey (half an hour), which also has gorgeous gardens and a woodland play area. Audley End (25 minutes) is another lovely estate that’s well worth a visit.
