Peaceful Leicestershire site on a rural hillside
Leicester city centre and Rutland Water both 20 minutes' drive
Easy access from A47; surrounded by tree belt for quiet and privacy

The centre of Leicester is only about a 20-minute drive from Fox’s Furrow – and yet this site’s immediate surroundings are properly peaceful and rural, with fields and natural countryside views all around. The beauty of all this, of course, is that you can have a nicely varied stay here if you like, perhaps pedalling along National Cycle Route 63 one day (it’s about a mile away) and then heading into the city to visit the National Space Centre the next. There’s a bus stop just under a mile away in the village of Houghton on the Hill if you’d rather travel by public transport. Also in the village are a couple of pubs, a village shop, a pharmacy and a fish and chip shop – all of it handily a short walk away across the fields (or a couple of minutes in the car). Getting in, out and all around should be straightforward here as the site is about a quarter of a mile from the A47; there’s no hint of the main road while on site, though, as the place has a very natural feel to it and is surrounded by a tree belt that provides plenty of privacy as well as acting as a home to local wildlife. In keeping with this rural setting, facilities have been kept to a minimum here – the essentials are covered, however, with a wifi connection, a washing-up area and toilet/shower facilities housed in a very stylishly decorated classic shepherd’s hut.

The photos don’t do it justice. a lovely site even in dreary match.

The end of our pitch. we had plenty of space and privacy.

Surrounded by nature and you could hear the pheasant calling.

From the manager: Hi there- thank you for your review. I am sorry to hear that you didn’t think our toilets were cleaned up to standard. I have just double checked this with our cleaners and they were actually cleaned on both Friday and Saturday morning. I will have a word with our cleaners to make sure they are completing the checklist every time to ensure nothing is missed next time. Thank you again for staying.

The place just needs a bit of a spruce up and tlc.

Keith M. May 2025

Electric gravel motorhome pitch

Liked: Quiet secluded site with large pitches.

Disliked: Wifi was non-existent, toilets didn't appear to have been cleaned ( we were there 3 days). Toilet seat broken in one toilet, doors did not close properly for toilet/shower room. Pitches were pretty uneven. The wash area tap needed a nozzle.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hello Keith, I’m very sorry to hear that you had some issues during your stay. I just wanted to reassure you that we will address the broken toilet seat and doors in the toilet/shower room straight away. Thank you for letting us know. Thank you also for bringing to our attention difficulties with the WiFi - I can only assume the recent rain and stormy weather have been playing havoc with the signal on some of the lower pitches but I will make sure this is checked. I am also sorry to hear that you didn’t think our toilets were cleaned up to standard. They were cleaned on the day of your arrival. I will have a word with our cleaners to make sure they are completing the checklist every time to ensure nothing is missed next time. Thank you again for staying.

Overall the site was very clean and tidy, had a very nice feel to it.

Electric gravel motorhome pitch

Liked: Clean and tidy site, easy to find where everything is. Also, you had access to the Internet which was very good.

Disliked: Toilet doors need some attention as well as the locks. If you need to go to the toilet after 10 PM the locks were very stiff and noisy to use.

Electric gravel motorhome pitch

Liked: Very quiet small rural site which is magical at night. Facilities are great and location is good for both rural and city activities. 30 min walk to the pubs in Houghton on the Hill as long as you go the right way. We didn’t! It’s really clear if you turn left out of the gate down the hill and turn left straight after the little bridge. It is not clear if you do like we did and turn right! It was a nice evening for a hike at least.

Nice touch to provide chocks although we didn’t need any once we pulled the van up as far as it was possible to go on the hard standing

Local attractions

Getting out to see more of your rural surroundings should be easy enough here, as there are some great walks in the vicinity, along with those bike rides on National Cycle Route 63. Rutland Water (20 minutes’ drive) is another good place for a walk or a bike ride (there’s a path that goes all the way round the lake), and you can also play golf, try your hand at sailing or bounce across the inflatable aqua park. If the kids are keen to meet cute animals, head along to Windmill Farm Park (15 minutes) for indoor and outdoor animals, play areas and a café. Bird on the Hand Falconry Experiences (15 minutes) makes a great day out for those keen to get up close to the big birds. Over in Leicester (20 minutes) there are plenty of options for a day out (especially if you need rainy-day activities) – the city is home to the National Space Centre as well as the Retro Computer Museum and King Richard III Visitor Centre.
