Adults-only pitches on a working farm with views of the Cotswolds
A 25-minute drive from Cirencester and Cotswold Water Park
Farm shop on site; surrounded by dog-friendly local footpaths

If you’re crafting an adults-only break near the Cotswolds, Dora’s Pitches might just be the final ingredient. The pitches here are suitable for self-contained motorhomes and campervans only and based on a working farm with views of the Cotswolds. They're 25 minutes’ drive away from Cirencester and the Cotswold Water Park, meaning that the so-called ‘capital of the Cotswolds’ and watersports are within easy striking distance. The farm has its own shop called Dora’s Dairy, which sells milk, meat and eggs for breakfast sunny side up. There’s also a breakfast basket including a pack of bacon, a pack of pork sausages, six eggs and 500ml of fresh milk (all from the farm) available to order (just select the extra on your booking). Save any scraps for the canines; the pitches welcome well-behaved dogs. On-site facilities include water and a chemical waste disposal point. Where exactly is this place, then? Dora’s Pitches are on the edge of Purton, a quiet village with great local dining. There’s a village shop 15 minutes’ walk away and fresh produce at two farm shops within walking distance of the site. If you’re after a pint and local grub, you can find those at the local pub 15 minutes’ walk away. The working dairy farm is on top of a hill, well away from the road and surrounded by dog-friendly footpaths (with kissing gates). The welcome pack includes a map of the local footpaths, so you shouldn't get lost. Getting here should be a breeze, as the farm’s easily accessed from Junction 16 on the M4 or the A419 (both around five miles away). There is a regular bus service from the village to local towns too.

Unpowered grass and earth motorhome site

Liked: Very, very quiet. No facilities, just an empty field with hens! Felt safe although we were the only people there. £10 for the night... what more do you want?

Disliked: Downside... damn tricky entrance gate, down a slim country track: no damage to the motorhome but blackberry smears down the side! Easier to get out than in.

From the manager: Thank you for your review Martin, it was great to see you at our wild pitches. Could you let us know how we can improve our customer service. And facilities for your next visit?

Liked: It's just a pitch. Turned up late, John was great. Took my payment on his phone no problem. No toilets or showers but for ten quid you get elsan disposal and water. Milk,meat and eggs 🥚 available. Some of the stuff in vending machines. Lovely view, quiet and secluded with no kids.

Disliked: Toilets would be a bonus.

Local attractions

Step foot into a steam train simulator and try changing the signals… with Great Western Railway locomotives on display and a range of interactive features, STEAM - Museum of the Great Western Railway (15 minutes' drive) should nicely entertain those interested in the prime time of steam trains. Budding historians have plenty more to nose around too, whether it’s walks around the 17th-century grandstand at Lodge Park & Sherborne Park Estate (40 minutes) or peaceful picnics at the 18th-century Buscot Park (35 minutes) – both are National Trust sites. Those looking for a more active day trip will find their fix at the Cotswold Water Park (25 minutes), where there are chances to get stuck into kayaking, paddleboarding or waterskiing – or on the flip side, peacefully watching out for otters and watering birds on the lakeside trails.
