Had another visit to Moreton today nice ride only about an hour for us over the top, visited this place for a look see search Google for it, about five miles out of Moreton on Chipping Norton road, where of course there is a nice brewery to visit, but thats another story!

www.crosshandscotswold.co.uk might be ok if you want couple of days in Cotswolds riding, motorhomers, caravans, tents, logpods and cottages so something for every taste, Greedy Goose pub next door, also said they would be ok with a small group of say ten, they have a rally area as well.

Just thought it may be of interest?
Happy days

I couldn't find it, there's an "s" in it.

Hopefully this helps.

One of my favourite areas, often take a trip to the Gaydon motor museum from camping nearby....

Appears I'm here in September for a wedding, recall it was the National fire brigade training centre (is it still?) & as it's a serving fire officer

Just a posh hotel I think. A friend had his retirement party there last year. How long will you be there?

Yep, it's still there bud, on the A44 it's a mile or two outside the town (Moreton) on the left heading towards Chipping Norton

In years gone by it was an RAF station (bomber command) to which there is a small museum on the A44 heading towards Bourton on the Hill if it's of interest to you ...
