Pitches are in the middle of a huge field - too much like a rally for us. (added by sammi_r 05 jul 2022)

  • Simple site at a country park with rural walks all around
  • In Cambridgeshire countryside bordered by the River Nene
  • Bordering the villages of Yarwell and Nassington
After a calm spot in the Cambridgeshire countryside? Make tracks to the pitches at Yarwell Mill Country Park, on the banks of the River Nene and close to some great spots for walks and watersports. Facilities here are hassle-free: toilets are well lit at night, and there's also a washing-up area. The village of Yarwell is on the edge of the park for real ale and pub grub at the Angel Inn; for self-catering supplies, there are plenty of shops in Stamford (15 minutes' drive) and Peterborough (20 minutes).

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Absolutely beautiful setting and surrounding. The waterside pitches where we stayed had access down the the river with little docks, so we could sit in the sun, drinking beer and get in the water if we wanted. Lovely countryside walks easily accessible from the site too. Toilet block was clean and showers had great pressure and hot water. The cafe onsite served delicious sandwiches and toasties with ice creams and drinks. All the staff I dealt with were nice, helpful and knowledgeable about the surrounding area.

Disliked: There's wasn't much to do for the kids. Although the river access and walks were good, a small park would be ideal for younger children.

Local attractions

Bring your boots: the countryside surrounding Yarwell Mill and Yarwell village is packed with scenic walks and quiet villages to explore, including Wansford and Nassington, and the historic town of Stamford is six miles away with its timber-framed buildings, medieval churches and 17th- and 18th-century stone buildings to point the camera at. The 117-mile Nene Way passes through Peterborough and also takes in the ancient market town of Oundle, 12 miles to the south west; the Sulehay Nature Reserve, covering walks around the ancient forest of Sulehay, the Stonepit Quarry and the woods and fields of Ring Haw is just to the west of Yarwell (there’s some parking at the entrance to the forest on the Wansford to Yarwell road). For resting your feet, jump onto the Nene Valley Steam Railway, which has been puffing along since 1845 and which runs for seven and a half miles along the river; join it at Wansford for the girder bridge trip across the Nene or go loco and book a Driver Experience. Then track along to the historic village of Fotheringhay, said by a historian to have ‘been distinguished beyond any other place in Britain, except the Capital, by the aggravated misfortunes of Royalty’; Mary Queen of Scots and Elizabethan Elizabeth are just two blue-blooded types associated with the village, although Liz was slightly luckier in that she wasn’t executed at Fotheringhay Castle. Potter in and around Peterborough too for heaps of historical highlights such as 17th-century Elton Hall, the medieval manor house Longthorpe Hall and the Grade I listed Thorpe Hall. Or, you could decide to be thoroughly contrary and modern and book a skydive at Peterborough’s Sibson Airfield.
