Sites with cycling nearby

[Tapestry]

Hi

Have just returned from a great week at Pembrey cc site. We took bikes for first time. The whole family enjoyed it including our child with autistic spectrum disorder.
We have decided we'd like to stop on other sites with cycling nearby, preferably not on roads. We are cc members and know about Pembrey and Clumber Park. We are not limited to cc sites.

Any suggestions most welcome. Many thanks in advance
Anne

Try Conkers near Swaddlincote. The C&CC site there has direct access to a large country park with many miles of safe riding, mostly on the flat, e.g. disused railways etc. It also has access to the Conkers attraction http://www.visitconkers.com/ which is free for kids on site.

CC site at Ferry Meadows, Peterborough, is in a large country park with plenty of cycling space. You can even ride into the city on a near-flat cycle track.

Ferry Meadows Caravan Club site is very good base for bike rides in and around the area. Site itself is caters for most peoples requirements. However beware of the Wardens they seem to be very Jobsworth and appear to seek out any oportunity to point out the rules and take great pleasure in enforcing them and beyound ! I even heard one say to a visitor that they hate the school holidays when children are on the site ! I have never known a CC site where the wardens are so obnoxious.

I had the received the same lack of welcome as MRE did when I stayed at Ferry Meadows during the winter. but I have had the same thing at a few other CC sites so I would not single out Ferry Meadows which is great for cycling and Peterborough must be one of the best cities for cycle paths.

Hi

Thanks for the suggestions, will look them up. Have stopped on cc sites before with wardens who were 'jobsworth' including Longleat once cc but mainly had very nice wardens on sites, those at Pembrey are lovely and very helpful.
