ROXTON - BARTON-UPON-HUMBER [127]







Sunday 5th July – Thursday 9th July 2009

As with many C/L’s the approach roads to this one get narrower the nearer you get. But this does not present any problems as there are several passing places; however the lasts few hundred yards are a bit undulating so make sure your best china [or rum bottle in my case] is well secured. The friendly owners, Derek & Jean made me very welcome and showed me were everything was. The pitching area is all on level grass although one pitch on hardstanding could be utilised if the weather dictated. Eggs are available if required.

Barton-upon-Humber has all the necessary services and there is a bus service between Hull and Scunthorpe if you want to travel further afield. A rail service to Grimsby also operates from the town. The Humber Bridge spans the Humber estuary close to Barton and is a must for anyone who has not yet seen it. At present the toll for cars is £2.70 and £4.90 for a car and caravan. Barrow-on-Humber which is closer to the C/L has a shop and pub and I believe a bus runs from here to Barton.

This site seems popular and many visitors had been before. There are many footpaths is the area and one benefit is that the local area is flat. Further afield are the Lincolnshire Wolds and the seaside resort of Cleethorpes. Elsham and Normanby halls are also worth a visit.
