MONKS BARN FARM - STRATFORD-UPON-AVON [113]




Monday 27th April – Friday 1st May 2009

This site is off the A3400 so don’t approach too fast or you will miss it. The farm is a bed and breakfast establishment and is marked on many maps as a commercial caravan site. It also has a rally field. There are pitches for several caravans but the main C/L appears to be on the right. It consists of a mown grassed area; however there are a few hardstanding areas if required. A toilet and shower are situated on the corner of a barn, along with all the other services. Showers cost 20p for 6 minutes, and I found this sufficient as long as you don’t dawdle. Outside is a small information room and near to this eggs and jam are on sale.

A bus to Stratford passes the entrance but is not allowed to stop because it is on a bend. So exit and turn right for a few hundred yards to a stop at Atherstone Turn. Stratford upon Avon had enough visitor attractions to fill my four night stay, but it is popular and can be busy at any time of the year. The information room at the site gave directions to supermarkets and all other services that could be found in and around Stratford.
