Peaceful and spacious pitches in Rockingham Forest, Northamptonshire
Rutland Water and Burghley House both 20 minutes' drive away
Café next to the site; access to play areas and walking/bike trails

You’ll be following in some pretty famous footsteps when you stay at Fineshade Wood – this Northamptonshire site is tucked away among the ancient trees of Rockingham Forest, which was once a hunting ground for William the Conqueror. These days the forest is a fabulous destination for nature lovers – and now you’ll be able to make the most of your outdoor time by staying overnight too. Pitches here are well spaced and well kept, with access to simple facilities like toilets and a chemical disposal point. A warden is always on site to give a friendly welcome, help you settle in and offer any advice you may need. Once you’re all settled on your pitch, it’s time to explore – perhaps taking your dog for a wander along one of the winding walking trails or pedalling along one of the bike trails. A family trail and a mountain bike section are available, and you can hire bikes (or get them repaired) at the visitor centre. There are five fabulous play areas scattered around the forest too, plus a sensory garden and a hidden wildlife hide where you can watch quietly for passing birds. Handily, right next to the site is a courtyard café that’s open every day to serve up light meals, cakes, proper coffees and tasty gelatos – plus ice creams for holidaying dogs. You’re welcome to bring a barbecue along as well; pick up supplies at the shops in Corby or Stamford (both 15 minutes’ drive).
