I'm taking my caravan to Gloucester at the end of June and wondered if there was any update on when Tewkesbury Abbey site will reopen.

    The website seems to suggest 8th June 2018, but the whole booking calender is blanked out.....?

    Jim, if Tewkesbury doesn't work out for you and you're looking for a very good (non club) site in the Gloucester area, can I suggest Tudor Caravan site at Slimbridge? Right next to the canal for walking and just a stone's throw from the world famous WWT site. smile

    Cheltenham is nearer by a couple of miles. If you don't fancy the Race Course site you could try this one 

    http://www.davidklyne.co.uk/briarfields_touring_park.html but it is adults only.

    Is you are happy with CLs,JimB, there are a few within easy striking distance of Tewskesbury. I can list them if needs be.

    Thanks for the information guys, Tudor certainly looks a good alternative. My wife is not keen on the CLs so will give that a miss.

    we have stayed at the Tewkesbury Abbey site a few times enroute to the South coast and enjoyed the experience. The site is convenient to the shops and pubs and the area has great historical significance. --_  With one exception,  -----those damn bells.  The Abbey seems to practice over and over again the same boring set of bell ringing sequences,  which after some time, just becomes annoying sound pollution.  

    Take ear plugs if you are going there.

    If the above post is accurate then I have a problem as I have just booked onto Tewkesbury Abbey site from 1st July.

    They are taking bookings for dates after 15th June.

    Well I've still got a booking for Chatsworth next March, when apparently it is closed.🤔

    On this web site, anything is possible and the accuracy of information provided by the CC, particularly the web chat, leaves a lot to be desired.
