Thursday 11th June – Monday 15th June 2009
This site is close to junction 12 of the M11 so is useful for anyone travelling south from northern Britain. Situated on the edge of Barton village it has a couple of hardstandings with the remaining pitches on level grass. The village has a couple of pubs, a post office and a convenience store in the local garage. The pub on the main road, run by a Hungarian couple does very good food at reasonable prices. The site is the home of a countryside conservation organisation and the owner told me that they were aware of at least eight barn owl chicks that had hatched recently. I wonder how many fledged, perhaps someone could tell me.
Cambridge is a short drive or bus ride away and has all the usual facilities. My four night stay was not long enough to see all this University City has to offer. Parking in the city was expensive so it is advisable to use one of the many park and ride facilities available. The nearest are at junctions 13 or 11 on the M11. There is a bus service from the village to Cambridge but I believe the service is not particularly regular. You can check on http://www.transportdirect/
My wife and son joined me at this site for a week’s holiday. They haven’t had much luck with weather on UK summer holidays in recent years so everyone was surprised when the sun came out on their arrival, and stayed out for most [not all] of the week.
