OAKVIEW - YEOVIL [97]




Friday 12th September – Tuesday 16th September 2008

This CL lies within a few hundred yards of the A303 about 5 miles to the north of Yeovil. The grassed site was in superb condition in view of the wet weather but was slightly waterlogged at the unused bottom half of the field. Being so close to the A303 resulted in road noise but this died away during the night and was not intrusive. The nearest pub and bus service are in Tintinhull on the other side of the main road. I explained to the CL owner that this sounded like a Yorkshire man saying “It is not in Hull” but I think the joke was lost in translation. Shops are in Martock with everything else in Yeovil.

I found plenty to do during my stay and this was helped by the leaflet pack provided on arrival by the owner. One mistake I made was allowing insufficient time to visit the Fleet Air Arm Museum at RNAS Yeovilton. You need to allow a minimum of half a day to explore this very interesting attraction.
