Birch Hill is a prize-winning Caravan Club CL Certificated Location for members of the Caravan Club. It is a quiet rural caravan site for up to 5 touring caravans, offering pleasant views across Shropshire, Cheshire and North Wales.
A good base for a short stay or longer holiday; there are plenty of electrical hook-ups, mains water supply and chemical waste disposal points.
|
Caravans park on a spacious area of about 2 acres of grass which is mown regularly throughout the growing season.
(To give you an idea of size, many CLs try
to cram 5 caravans into a quarter of an acre, so Birch Hill is 8 times bigger for the same number of caravans). |
|
| We are open for holidays all year round, subject to firm ground field conditions - please telephone to check in advance during Winter months. Access is good, with wide gateways and a Tarmac drive. The drive is about a quarter of a mile from the lane, which reinforces the feeling of a quiet secluded site. |
|
Despite the abundance of space and ten
full power 16 amp electric hook-ups, we
are very strict on the '5 Caravan Rule',
so advance booking is recommended, especially for Bank Holidays. |
This is a genuinely quiet and relaxing CL, with no car-door slamming at pub closing-time, no static caravans, no seasonal pitches or adjacent commercial caravan site, and we have no intention of holding caravan rallies. The site is well-maintained with no sheep droppings or cow pats between the caravans (although you may see cows, sheep or horses in adjacent fields).
Prize Winning Caravan Site. We were delighted to be told in April 2007
that Birch Hill is the 2006 Regional Winner of the Caravan Club CL of the Year Competition, based on votes received from Club members.
We can truly say that we are voted the best CL in the region that covers the
whole of Wales, the West Midlands and Northern Ireland.
There are around 2500 Caravan Club CLs in the country, and only 6 Regional Prizes. Birch Hill is also a past-winner of the runner-up prize for
'National CL of the Year', making it one of the top Caravan sites in the UK. |
Atherstone Stables Caravan Site is situated in a peaceful rural setting, with horses and cattle in the neighbouring fields, and the River Sense close by offering fishing along its banks. Footpaths lead along the river bank and across the fields to the pretty village of Ratcliffe Culey and The Gate pub.
|
This CL 5-van site has electric hook-ups and water in the field, with showers and toilets available in the stable block nearby . It is surrounded by beautiful countryside, and is within easy reach of a variety of tourist attractions.
