A pleasant green and flat site surrounded by mature trees with grass and hard standing pitches. Although there is still some doubt, Henley probably dates from the early 12thC and has many old and interesting buildings. Although the present ornate stone bridge over the River Thames dates from 1786, there is evidence of an earlier bridge dating from about 1170. In the town there are many antiques shops, art galleries and up market boutiques for you to wander around, or you can take a leisurely boat ride on the Thames travelling as far as Marlow or even Maidenhead. Henley is of course the home of the famous Regatta in June/July. This is followed a week later by the Music Festival. There is also a Traditional Boat Rally in July which involves the old wooden-built craft - a touch of nostalgia!

As the name suggests, this site backs onto woodlands and is within reach of several parks. London with all its attractions is only 20 minutes away by a fast and frequent train service into Kings Cross. Stanborough Park is also close by (about 2 miles) with a sailing, fishing and boating lake, playground and crazy golf. Reed Marsh Reserve which is incorporated within Stanborough Park is idea for bird watching. Welwyn Garden City is one of the finest examples of modern town planning and was built soon after the first world war as part of the Ebenezer Howard’s Garden City movement – also not somewhere you would perhaps expect to find a Roman Bath preserved in a steel vault under the nearby A1(M).

The site is a green oasis screened from the surrounding countryside by trees, yet within a mile of the M1; ideally situated to use as a base to explore London. Buses to Victoria pass the site, or take the train from Hemel, or the tube from Stanmore. Nearer to home the town offers a playground, bowling green and crazy golf. Within 2 miles there's a dry ski slope and a comprehensive leisure complex which boasts a waterworld of flumes and rides, an ice rink with a volcano, a cinema complex, ten pin and indoor bowling and two nightclubs. The historic old town centre holds a general market on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays as well as a craft market on Monday and antiques on Wednesday. Some road noise can be expected.
