  • Quiet site on a Leicestershire field 10 minutes’ drive from Hinckley
  • Mallory Park or Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre 10 minutes’ drive
  • Seasonal produce in the farm shop; breakfast and lunch available
Leicestershire bound? Perhaps you’ll end up at Bradshaw Farm, a site on a working farm situated between the two rural villages of Stapleton and Dadlington, with Hinckley 10 minutes’ drive away. Pitches are on a nicely level field, and there are simple shared shower facilities. Every last weekend of the month (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) and on bank holidays, the site has a range of wine, beer and spirits for guests to buy. There’s also a well-stocked farm shop across the road, where you can pick up seasonal fruit, veg, fresher-than-fresh organic produce and home-grown plants; you can order a hearty cooked breakfast and tasty lunch there too. If you’re looking for a decent selection of pubs and restaurants to try, Hinckley (10 minutes’ drive) is the place to head for; you can top up on any other supplies from the supermarkets while you’re there. In general, this place is a fine choice if you want to get away for some R&R in the countryside. On the other hand, it may not be quite so peaceful on the weekend of July 17–20, when a gathering of the UK’s best tribute bands will be playing at Leicestonbury music festival on the farm, just across the road from the camping field.

Primitive grass campsite (pet friendly)

Liked Lovely site, Richard was great
and was very prompt with a show around. He gave a very, very warm welcoming and was very friendly and approachable.
The site is very nice and spacious. I had randomly booked my trip here on the same day of travel, and thankfully I was not disappointed. The site came recommended. This was worth the visit, I would definitely do a winter camp here in the future as it is a hidden gem and has a secure layout.

Disliked Nothing

Basic, but very friendly. All pitches on a level field. Limited shade.

Primitive grass campsite (pet friendly)

Liked As described, a straight forward camping experience with basic facilities, but where the owner couldn't be more attentive, checking all visitors were OK. It was so hot, paddling pools were even on offer inexpensively. I was shown a calf that was barely an hour old that was very special!

Tom D.

Bell tent (six person)

Liked The hosts! The location! The ambition!

Richard was so friendly and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. He showed us, and the kids, around his farm and showed his passion for farming.

The location was great, only a 5 mins drive to the town and nearby walks (including along the canal to Sutton Wharf)

Disliked Facilities - very basic but this is known before booking and is fone.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Why put a review like this? Nice but not very nice - why? You know what you are booking so why even bother to be so mean?

The owners of the farm were so so friendly. Will definitely be…

Local attractions

When golf is your game, you’ll be pleased to know there are several courses within about 20 minutes’ drive of the site. For watching high-octane pursuits like motor-bike racing, you’ll have to catch the right day at Mallory Park Racing Circuit (10 minutes’ drive). Take a waterside stroll in Market Bosworth Country Park (10 minutes), or learn more about the notorious battle of 1485 on guided walking tours at Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre (also 10 minutes), where the kids can dress up as knights for the day and there are occasional weekend enactments of fiercely fought medieval battles. If you’d like to know more about the infamous King Richard III, whose remains were found in a Leicester car park, visit his royal tomb at the King Richard III Visitor Centre (40 minutes). Still in the city, you can clamber aboard rockets at the National Space Centre, and let off steam in East Street Lanes bowling alley (both make great choices for any rainy days with the offspring).
