  • Well-maintained and gated park in a peaceful rural village
  • A 10-minute drive to Ely, 35 to Newmarket and 40 to Cambridge
  • Bar and weekend food van; dog-walking track right across the road
Ease yourself into East Anglian explores by sorting a space at Slade Paddock, a well-located and secure gated site in Witcham that's surrounded by scenic walks for ramblers. This park is a prime spot for pet owners as well as wanderers, with a dog-walking track right across the road for guests bringing their four-legged pals along. History buffs are sorted here too thanks to a bus service that stops just off the local green and whisks you to the stately sights of Cambridge within an hour. The on-site bar is open all week, with a food van rolling up to serve meals at weekends. Barbecues are allowed on the spacious open grounds too if you’re keen to rustle up alfresco food. Rather order local grub at a restaurant when evening rolls around? If you fancy dining out, eateries are a 15-minute drive away in Ely, which is also home to top local attractions like Oliver Cromwell’s House. Modern facilities at this Cambridgeshire park include four wetrooms with showers, two washing-up areas, and a toilet that's accessible for people with disabilities. Entertainment is scheduled throughout June, July and August.

Powered grass caravan site

Liked: Nice, rural area. Helpful man got us into the site and parked up in the evening and after hours (called the mobile number at the entrance). We were in a motorhome on a grass pitch (grass pitches only here). Facilities were clean. Trampoline for the kids beside the bar area. Only stayed one night - arrived late and left in the morning as part of a longer roadtrip but it was a good little stopover. Great spot for exploring the beautiful Cambridge. If in a motorhome - park at the Cambridge Park and Ride - drive in via the John Lewis delivery entrance further down, not the standard entrance with height restrictions.

From the manager: Thanks for your review and motorhome tips - often get asked about where to park. Thanks Sal and Trev

Definitely coming back

Local attractions

Ely (15 minutes’ drive) has endless activities to keep you entertained: head to this town to roam around the cracking cathedral and stained-glass museum before leaping onto a Liberty Belle Cruises boat at Ship Lane to bob along the Great Ouse river. Fancy a flutter? Newmarket (35 minutes) is known for being the birthplace of horse racing, so it’s a must-visit spot for equestrian types. Peer at the high-tech displays in Palace House’s National Horseracing Museum, timing your visit to the town just right to catch a fixture at the renowned racecourse afterwards. If you’re hot on history, you’ll want to amble around Anglesey Abbey (35 minutes) and admire the artworks before covering some of the 98 acres of grounds during a stroll. Wander to Wimpole Hall (40 minutes) later on, stopping to fawn over the farm animals that live here, then eye up the aviation displays – an old Concorde plane included – at the Imperial War Museum Duxford (40 minutes). Many of East Anglia’s other absorbing attractions are in Cambridge (40 minutes): think a series of stunning colleges, fab art galleries like the Fitzwilliam Museum and pleasant punting on the River Cam.
