Plough Lane Caravan Site
Website: www.ploughlane.co.uk
You won't be surprised to learn that one of the owners of this adults-only site trained as a landscape gardener: the site boasts abundant borders and well-tended hedges. Even the washblock could win prizes, with its floral displays and range of toiletries and magazines laid out for all to use. The owners, Roger and Helen Wilding, are keen to make everyone's stay a treat.
The site is small and intimate, and can easily be found just a few minutes from junction 17 of the M4, near the south Cotswold town of Chippenham. Despite being conveniently close to the motorway, it really is a quiet location, and ideal for couples who want to leave the hustle and bustle behind. The small size also adds to the friendly atmosphere, and the owners are never far away if you need assistance.
Reception provides a wide range of tourist-information leaflets
with details of activities available nearby, such as fishing, golf, horse riding and sailing. Although there is no shop on site, you'll find a large supermarket with a café about a mile away. If you fancy dining out in the evening, several pubs and restaurants are within
a short drive of the site. Dogs on leads are welcome, and two are allowed per pitch.
