Primitive grass and earth tent campsite
Liked: Near a lovely little wood and river. Saw a kingfisher flying there.
Disliked: The field is perhaps on the small side. We were 5 groups camping there. And new arrivals decided to camp on the small parking space before the bridge probably because of the lack of flat space in the main field.

Liked: We loved the relaxed feel of the place. My 12 year old son was in his element when he found he could camp in the woods, paddle in the stream and use the fire pit. One compost toilet was all that was needed. Lovely to see a fox and hedgehog in the woods.
