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.

Electric gravel motorhome pitch

Liked: Small peaceful campsite with beautiful surroundings. Off the beaten track with a local pub, shop and walks all within local walking distance. Great washing up facilities with hot water, a couple of toilets and shower. Host was friendly and easy to contact as needed with check in and queries during our stay. Can't wait to return!

Liked: Really liked the whole site. Walking dogs was easy. Site was clean & tidy. Showers were great too. Would definitely stay again.

Disliked: Not really a dislike but some of the pitches will need levellers but we knew this before we arrived. Was not a problem for us though.

Karen H. Mar 2025

Electric gravel motorhome pitch

Liked: What a charming get away. This place was lovely -surrounded by nature and an amazing night sky.
We found a quiet dogs walk close by and had a great time.
Customer service was excellent.
The driveway and glamping pod exteriors were lit up at night with pretty lights and looked magical. I’d stay here again for sure.
The glamping pods looked really fabulous.

Disliked: If I was being picky some of the toilets are small and people washing up just underneath. Maybe the floor insulation/ privacy could be improved.

Electric gravel motorhome pitch

Liked: Great peaceful location, toilet and showers were spotless. WiFi was very good. Couldn’t fault my stay. Hosts Saffron and Glen use a contactless system where you book in when you arrive by replying to their warm welcoming text message, which makes everything clear and then let them know when you are leaving, very easy and if there were any issues I could contact them directly. Will plan to stay again

Electric gravel motorhome pitch

Liked: We loved the quiet, rural very pretty location, we were there early and got a nice pitch on the bottom right which meant we had plenty of our own space. The glamping pods looked really good too. Everything tastefully done. We walked over the fields to the village and ate at the dog friendly pub where we met our daughter who's studying in Leicester which is a stones throw away but you'd never imagine it as so rural! She dropped us back and what a pretty scene to come back to, the whole place was prettily lit with fairylights, again tasteful and gave the place a glow, we loved it. Plus owners very responsive to any messages and were more than happy for our daughter to park up for a bit and have a cuppa. Thank you, great stay.

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.
