Upavon - Walking and hiking around Upavon, Wiltshire

First the good: Lovely location, good old pub, tasty food, friendly staff. The bad: very busy campsite with noise into the early hours and nowhere near enough showers/toilets. I would avoid camping at weekends and in school holidays. Rest of the time probably fine. The pictures of a hunt stopping at the pub on the walls just seem woefully bad taste nowadays. I know it's country culture, but such sadistic barbarity is best forgotten.

Simple camping in most lovely location. Facilities clean and the publicans very sociable. Make sure you go to the general knowledge quiz on the first Sunday of each month. Really well organised and food - bargain of the century at £2.50.

We cycled and stayed for 1 nights camping. The site is beautiful with a lovely small river running along the bottom of the field with trout and chub. Fishing is available but is fly fishing only. The curry night in the pub was incredible - all home cooked and 7 choices of curry and a free pint thrown in. The facilities were mediocre at best. One toilet which was clean, 2 showers both clean but one was unusable because there was no light, and the urinals were unusable and full of stale urine. Value for money certainly as it only cost £39 for 2 of us camping and all you can eat curry with a drink. Hopefully they fix the small issues in the facilities as this really was an idyllic spot and lovely people in the pub. 3 stars as the urinals were just atrocious - but pushing 5 if they had fixed that.

Pretty acceptable Sunday carvery
