planes, games & automobiles IN THE COTSWOLDS
Duration
Three nights
When
July 2019
Why?
Excellent walking in an area offering plenty of history, scenery and good food and drink
As the enticing envelope landed on the mat in our hall, I rapidly hatched a cunning plan to turn a day’s excursion into a trip in our ’van. We’d just received our tickets for the Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford, on the edge of the Cotswolds, and realising we had the whole weekend free, no further excuse was needed for us to decide on a few days away.
A quick phone call secured a pitch at a site in lovely Bourton-on-the-Water, a 30-minute drive from the airfield and offering plenty to see and do in the local area, to keep us happily entertained over a summer weekend.
Field Barn Park is a neatly laid out, adults-only campsite just a short walk from the village. Grass and shrubs criss-cross the site, giving privacy to campers and a home for wildlife, which is clearly an important priority for the owners.
Time to explore
Comfortably settled on our pitch and with the sun
