- Description
- Yarwell Mill Caravan and Camping Park is set in peaceful Northamptonshire countryside, is bordered by the river Nene and provides excellent fishing facilities for guests. Located only six miles from the picturesque town of Stamford, there are many scenic walks and quiet villages to explore.
Yarwell Mill is a 27 acre campsite with capacity for 120 touring caravans and a similar number of tents. The large tenting field is spacious with plenty of room between tents for privacy or kicking a football around with the kids. In the middle of the site is a 5 acre lake stocked and available for fishing by those staying on the site. The River Nene runs round the perimeter of the site, moorings for cruisers and narrow boats are available along its banks and course fishing is available in season.
Yarwell lock can be found on the site, where boats pass through upstream to Oundle and downstream to Peterborough and the fens. The site contains Yarwell Mill, a Grade II listed building, still with the millstream running under the building.
Available on the site are seasonal touring pitches, tent pitches, caravan storage, areas for caravan rallies and boat launching. Facilities include toilet and shower block and ample parking. Pets are welcome on site. Dogs must be kept on a lead whilst in the park itself but can run free on a specially provided field.
The local area includes the Nene Way and River. The peaceful tranquillity is a great attraction for walkers and ramblers. Just five minutes away, the A1 offers easy access for those wanting to explore the surrounding areas. One of the most popular local attractions is the Nene Valley Railway used for many television and film productions. The 15 mile trip along the Nene Valley Railway takes you through the delightful Nene Park, from the eastern terminus at Peterborough, past the Railway's headquarters at Wansford Station, into the haunted Wansford tunnel and finally to the tranquil setting of Yarwell Junction. - Tourist Attractions
