Riverside pitches at a rural spot around 10 miles from Cambridge
Shepreth Wildlife Park 20 minutes' walk; 25 mins' drive to Audley End
Easy access to well-lit cycle path, main road and train station

Day out in Cambridge or some time spent wandering around the countryside? Either one is equally possible for guests staying at Shepreth Mill. This Cambridgeshire site is just under 10 miles from Cambridge city centre but also surrounded by lovely rural landscapes to explore. Getting around should be nice and straightforward – and you’ll have options too. The A10 passes just by the site, as does a new cycle path running all the way to the city (it’s all lit up at night so don’t worry about staying in town for a drink or some food). Shepreth village is a mile away, with a train station for those who’d rather get around by public transport. The village also has a tea room, and there’s a pub a few minutes' walk from the site too, but for more eating options and shops you’ll need to head to Melbourn (five minutes’ drive) or on to Royston (10 minutes). When not out and about, you’ll be staying at a pretty site that’s got a river bordering two sides and a lake within the grounds. The lake is a good place for wildlife spotting, as the island has ducks, moorhens and swans on it at all times; look out across the river Shep, meanwhile, and you may spot the residents of the badger sett on the other side. If you fancy a lengthier exploration of the river, you can stroll along the waterside path that leads to an RSPB reserve in one direction and a good coffee shop in the other. Simple facilities on site include toilets, showers, a washing-up area and a chemical disposal point.

Liked: Easy to access space and clean toilets with warm water on an icy morning.

Disliked: Nothing. Perhaps that could be a few more facilities going forward, like an electric connection for ev vans / motorhomes.

Electric optional grass and gravel touring pitch

Liked: Really easy to get to Stansted airport about 30 mins, we stayed here before our flight to Rome in our campervan as we had an early flight and didn’t want to do the huge drive down. The toilets were clean and the pitches were big so we could sit out and have dinner.
Its very close to a main road so it wouldn’t be somewhere I would choose to go on holiday for a long time but perfect for a visit to Cambridge or if you need to get to the airport early.

Disliked: Quite expensive for the facilities, the washing up area could do with a re vamp.

Helpful hosts, reasonably level pitches with natural surroundings.

Liked: I stayed for one night and found this site peaceful. I was able to have a firepit and was offered more wood if required any. The hosts were very friendly and helpful.

Disliked: A little pricey for a non-electric hook up pitch. However,I would stay again.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Expensive to stay considering the the toilet and showers were dire.

Local attractions

While you’re up in Shepreth (20 minutes' walk), stop in at Shepreth Wildlife Park to meet all sorts of exotic animals including tigers, aardvarks and red pandas. The same amount of walking in the opposite direction will take you to RSPB Fowlmere to see native species instead. It’s likely you’ll spot some wildlife while out and about too – the walk from Barrington to Haslingfield is a particular favourite, with great views over Cambridge too. For a closer look at what Cambridge (half an hour by car or public transport) has to offer, spend a day (or more) in the city, dipping in and out of the colleges, visiting the museums and taking a boat trip on the river. To see some more fabulous buildings, plan outings to the National Trust estates Wimpole Hall (15 minutes), centred around a splendid 17th-century mansion, and Anglesey Abbey (half an hour), which also has gorgeous gardens and a woodland play area. Audley End (25 minutes) is another lovely estate that’s well worth a visit.
