Our new site has 30 hard standing pitches all with electric hook-ups, water and wifi and with shower and toilet facilities adjacent. Quietly located in the peaceful heart of the Blackmore Vale, the main attraction is our coarse fishing with 20 acres of water over five lakes and each offering a different fishing experience. Because of the quiet nature of our site we are not really suitable for children unless they have a keen interest in fishing.

The site is level with long views and, weather permitting, lovely sunrises and sunsets. It lies next to Fifehead Woods which is a typical old English woodland owned by the Woodland Trust. Originally a dairy farm, we now run sheep in several of our fields, and you will often see our Rheas, KuneKune pigs, and various ducks and chickens wandering about the place. Because of the vague habits of our animals all dogs must be kept on a lead at all times.

On site we have a butchery and farm shop selling local meat and home produced sausages and burgers and a small variety of whatever is in season. Our chickens rarely go on strike, so fresh eggs are usually available, with the ducks laying when the mood takes them. We sometimes also have home raised and cured bacon and often venison sausages.

5 Pitch Site

We also currently have 5 pitches available to Caravan and Camping Club members with electric hook-ups and nearby shower and toilet facilities.

There is a five acre field suitable for rallies for special interest groups, and a small barn which can be hired for functions.

For the Non-Fisherman

We have a small workshop where those wishing to get mucky with clay can try their hands at throwing on our electric or manual wheels, or hand-building. A craftsman who works in another of our barns is always happy to offer tuition to anyone interested in wood-turning or veneering, and the surrounding countryside make this a great place for artists and photographers.
