    The bus to Stratford-on-Avon stops outside the site, and you can get the bus to Stow-on-the-Wold and Bourton-in-the-Water from the main road through Moreton.  There is also a train station if you want to go to Oxford.

    One handy feature of Google Earth is that you click on bus stops and it will tell you which number bus stops there and usually a link to the company running the service so you can find the timetable information.

    Whilst I am not complaining about this sites facilities I would like to warn you about some of the pitches nearest to the main road, They can be very noisy especially in the mornings due to the heavy traffic,There are also tall trees where all the birds
    roost overnight and they make a real mess on the vans parked on that side. I have just returned from a 5 night stay at Morton and I am now having to have the van professionaly cleaned as the bird muck will not come off by normal cleaning it is set like concrete
    .

    There is also a train station with trains running both locally and out to Worcester and London.

    I agree that the pitches alongside the road can be a bit noisy but this is mainly during the early morning and late evening rush hours. If you can get them though pitches at the back of the site are far quieter. Living near a motorway noise is not a problem
    for us but I do realise others are more upset by it.

    Only quieter at the back if you don't back onto the dog walk. We were there recently and woken very early most mornings by yapping dogs, didn't mind this too much as the dogs clearly enjoying themselves on their early morning run around. However, did mind
    the owners who woke us up shouting at their dogs for some reason.
