  • Quiet site on a Leicestershire field 10 minutes’ drive from Hinckley
  • Mallory Park or Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre 10 minutes’ drive
  • Seasonal produce in the farm shop; breakfast and lunch available
Leicestershire bound? Perhaps you’ll end up at Bradshaw Farm, a site on a working farm situated between the two rural villages of Stapleton and Dadlington, with Hinckley 10 minutes’ drive away. Pitches are on a nicely level field, and there are simple shared shower facilities. Every last weekend of the month (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) and on bank holidays, the site has a range of wine, beer and spirits for guests to buy. There’s also a well-stocked farm shop across the road, where you can pick up seasonal fruit, veg, fresher-than-fresh organic produce and home-grown plants; you can order a hearty cooked breakfast and tasty lunch there too. If you’re looking for a decent selection of pubs and restaurants to try, Hinckley (10 minutes’ drive) is the place to head for; you can top up on any other supplies from the supermarkets while you’re there. In general, this place is a fine choice if you want to get away for some R&R in the countryside. On the other hand, it may not be quite so peaceful on the weekend of July 17–20, when a gathering of the UK’s best tribute bands will be playing at Leicestonbury music festival on the farm, just across the road from the camping field.

Kamila S.

Bell tent (basic, six person)

Liked The location of this campsite was really good - set on a quiet farm field away from the main road, quite peaceful at night (just campers next to us were bit loud till late hours). We stayed in a bell tent which was great value for money and cleaned inside. With some candles and plenty of cushions we brought along, it felt really cosy and homely.

That said, there are a few things that could make the experience even better, which I highlight in disliked section.

Generally speaking, it’s a site with potential, and with a bit more attention to facilities and upkeep, it could be a really great place to stay (I'm saying that comparing to the other sites I've stayed at this year)

Disliked There were only two portaloo toilets for the whole site, and unfortunately they weren’t very clean during our stay. For one night stay - we managed, but I can't imagine use them while camping more days... The shower area was completely dark (and not clean either), even in the daytime, so a torch is essential. The farm surroundings looked a little neglected, with all dried plants and general mess, which gave us the impression – despite the site being new on Pitchup – that it wasn’t being kept on top of, or owners simply gave up.. We visited mid-season, but it felt more like the end of October in terms of upkeep. My daughter was hoping to see some farm animals, but we weren’t sure if visitors were allowed in certain areas as there was no one around in the farm shop to ask. Also, while the site is fairly large, the bell tents are pitched so close together, so a little more space for privacy would be a big improvement (especially when campers having inflatable pools for kids)

Bell tent (basic, six person)

Liked Lovely area, nice views. Clean and spacious bell tent. Friendly owner. Very affordable.

Disliked Two portaloos for a busy campsite. Shower room sink had no running water and was a little grubby. Wasn't clear where we were supposed to check in upon arrival. Bell tents are very close together.

Samantha D.

Bell tent (basic, six person)

Liked Excellent location, close to all local amenities. Perfect if you want to get in touch with nature and be outdoors. The surrounding are beautiful. Very good for a beautiful sunset and star gazing. Hosts are very friendly and helpful. They go that extra mile to help you feel welcome. Paddling pools available to hire at as small cost. Little farm shop which has local produce, snacks and drinks available. Lots of farm animals to see and they also offer a cooked breakfast if you order the night before. This place is brilliants considering it’s only been running for a short while. Watch this space because I think it will get better and better!

Disliked Nothing to dislike!

Non-electric grass pitch (pet friendly)

Liked The campsite is a large open field so you can pitch/park pretty much anywhere you like in the designated area.
The couple who run the farm are very friendly and helpful. They offer a great breakfast too (book the day before).
Peaceful countryside and good views across the fields.

Disliked Nothing really, good value for the money.
Some may find the shower and toilet facilities a bit basic, but they do the job just fine.

Local attractions

When golf is your game, you’ll be pleased to know there are several courses within about 20 minutes’ drive of the site. For watching high-octane pursuits like motor-bike racing, you’ll have to catch the right day at Mallory Park Racing Circuit (10 minutes’ drive). Take a waterside stroll in Market Bosworth Country Park (10 minutes), or learn more about the notorious battle of 1485 on guided walking tours at Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre (also 10 minutes), where the kids can dress up as knights for the day and there are occasional weekend enactments of fiercely fought medieval battles. If you’d like to know more about the infamous King Richard III, whose remains were found in a Leicester car park, visit his royal tomb at the King Richard III Visitor Centre (40 minutes). Still in the city, you can clamber aboard rockets at the National Space Centre, and let off steam in East Street Lanes bowling alley (both make great choices for any rainy days with the offspring).
