Mayfield Park is the sensible, spotless base camp for exploring the southern Cotswolds. Terraced pitches with long views, facilities kept to an obsessive standard, and Cirencester, the Roman Corinium and modern-day capital of the Cotswolds, five minutes down the road.
The park is quieter than the big holiday parks, which suits families with younger children who want early nights and calm mornings. Cirencester's huge Abbey Grounds playground, the Corinium Museum with its mosaic-making workshops, and the open-air pool in summer cover the entertainment. The famous Cotswold villages, Bibury, Barnsley and the Duntisbournes, are all an easy drive.
