FHU cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite (super)
Liked: Warm welcome very informative. Pitched by river. Quiet and peaceful and close to a nice pub for food. Wast water close by and if conditions were good you could swim in the river.
Disliked: Difficult to make contact with the site directly phoned constantly for a week with out an answer, had to go via pitch up. Unfortunately it was very rainy so the site got quite water logged. I realise that this was probably unavoidable with the amount of rain. 50p required for showers.
