A quirky, slightly hippy, fabulous camp site. Not your totally twee set up ie. slightly more basic but well-kept and clean and the people were very friendly and laid back. The onsite bar/Cauldron cafe is rather magical as an outside-in fairy lit venue with a good range of spirits, wines and bottled beers and with live music on Saturday night. We heard @dekandevelyn in this fabulous informal setting. By day, coffee/tea and light snacks/breakfast baps.
Public footpath across fields to Charlbury with the Bull, the Bell and various other establishments including a fab Community Cafe (but a short stretch on the road, beware of the speed of traffic!).
Spelsbury public footpath felt like a concerted effort on the part of landowners to try to stop walkers which is not good! - barbed wire both sides high up (hand and elbow height for humans!), electric fences either side of the stiles, a 'bull in field' warning and another warning and photo of a big dog where the path goes via a house but the 'permissive path' the owners offer as an alternative was not kept clear enough for walkers to take instead! Footpath walkers and council may want to look in to these factors!
Small art/sculpture studio onsite and a wooden instrument maker who was very, very skilled and happy to share his extensive knowledge - made-to-measure guitars, cellos, double-bases, etc - accoustic and electric.
