Liked Excellent, cheap pitch. Gwen was very welcoming, she made sure everything was ready on arrival, and set up a table in the pub for a lovely home made meal, and was ready to answer any questions I had. I would definitely recommend that any walkers taking the Icknield way plan a stop at the Red Lion.
