- We walk round Ashridge Farm Caravan and Motorhome Club Site and then take a stroll down to the pretty village of Ashwell in Hertfordshire.

Glad you didn't let it rain on your parade. Turned out to be a nice day at Ashridge Farm. We have found that the smaller campgrounds are some of our favorites. And random bagpipes in the background, loved it :) That was a pretty spring too. I love seeing the villages, architecture, and countryside. Hope life is treating you both well. Take care. Debbie - BluWave Odyssey
It exceeded our expectations at Ashridge Farm and the surrounding area. We managed to get a day out at an air museum too, video to follow soon 😃 Thanks Debbie
Thanks for sharing, and taking us along Trev, a lovely site and Village . ATB to you and Sue x Stephen
Thanks so much for watching 😃 Trev
Thanks for taking us along on such a beautiful walk. Quaint little village. The church was gorgeous.👍👍😊
The church was beautiful although it was having some repairs so builders had closed some of it. The gardens were still pretty in October which is a real credit to the village 😄 Trev
Excellent vlog Trev & Sue, brought back happy memories of our 10 night stay at Ashridge Farm during the September heatwave. Such a beautiful site & the gorgeous quaint village. We took refuge in the shade of pretty Ashwell springs & ate our lunch in the cool many times.
Not too far from us in Rayleigh Essex we have been many times & cannot wait to get back to this little gem.
Your vlogs are marvellous we always enjoy touring with you when we are sitting at home lol
We didn’t realise how lovely this site was and agree that it is a real gem. Thanks so much for watching and your lovely comments. It gives us a lot of pleasure to Vlog and share our travels, particularly during these difficult times 😃🚐👍🏻 Trev n Sue
That's a big storage place for the Caravans. Liked the steps going to the springs. The church was nice.
Yes, huge storage area on good ground too. Very pretty village and area. It would have been lovely to have a summer picnic under the trees near those springs. 😀 Trev
WOW they are narrow roads. Looks cold, very picturesque. Love the stress free zone LOL. Very quaint little village. Great video guys, Stay safe.
Thanks so much for watching and your comments. It’s getting chilly here now and winter is almost upon us. 😃🚐 Trev
The facility looks very well kept. Fall camping can be so much fun w/o the heat. Does mean we have to endure the rain at times. I like the stress free zone sign and the fun water crossing. Enjoy!
It was a beautiful village and Sue has fun on the stepping stones 😃 Trev
I really enjoyed watching that Trev', it was almost as if I was there. Thank you.
Thanks very much Robert, really appreciate your positive comments, it was a lovely place to visit 😃 Trev
Lovely video, lovely village. Great clip of the blue and white VW California and your star struck followers outside the little coffee shop lol 😁 . It was a pleasure to meet you both .
Hello Angela and Kevin it was a treat for us to chat with you. Hope you are not claiming an appearance fee 🤣🤣 Hope to catch up with you next season 👍🏻🚐 Trev n Sue
So glad your video was on my home screen. I no longer get alerts for some reason. Nice video. I like how you two get out and explore. I really enjoyed your video.
Thanks so much for watching, we really appreciate your comments too 😃 Trev
If I was in England I would stay there for sure. Lovely place. I love trails that have creeks/streams beside them. The village was very nice also. TYFS
Thank you for watching and your comments. This site and village is just the kind of camping we like. England at its finest 😃 Trev
Man, everytime I watch your videos I get super jealous of your lush RV! We are currently freezing our little bums off in South Australia living in a little canvas camper trailer.
This spot in Hertfordshire looks absolutely incredible too! So much beautiful, lus greenery! We don't get a lot of that here in Australia! Great video guys! - Han.
Thanks so much for watching and your comments. We are fast moving into winter and another lockdown so feeling fed up this week. Hopefully we can have another cheeky trip before Christmas 😉 Trev
Nice little site there Trev & Sue. Liking the older buildings in the village and the church looked interesting. Nice a relaxing trip, Take care, Martin
Thanks Martin, It’s a really quiet little site with a 10 minute walk to the village. The church was having work done so couldn’t see it all and two of the three pubs were closed. However, we heard the Three Tuns is very nice and is doing really good food currently 😉👍🏻🚐 Trev
I think my favorite part is the trails by the river ♡
It was very pretty down there 😁 Trev
Its so nice and quiet in the autumn , with a nice motorhome there is no such thing as bad weather, I really enjoyed the video thanks for sharing
Thanks John, we are missing the outdoors right now. Lockdown in England ends December 2nd. Stay safe and warm 😃 Trev
Used to be our local site, just 25 mins up the road. Great little site. Love the village and the walks around.
Same here, we used to store our caravan at Ashridge, the pubs are good and Days the bakers is well worth a visit. Thanks for the vid it brought back many happy memories.
Thanks to you both. A real find, so much nicer than we expected. It is one we will remember for some time 😃🚐 Trev
That looks a lovely site...enjoyed your walk down to the stream with the stepping stones. Can’t wait till we have the freedom to travel again! We’re missing being away and having “Katie” in storage were not even able to just go and sit in her 😞😞 Fingers crossed we all get to get another trip in before 2021 !! Take care both... Michelle and Andy ☺️☺️
It was a perfect autumn break with some good weather too. This lockdown is beginning to take its toll. Like you, we are hoping for better times. Best wishes ☺️🚐 Trev n Sue
What an absolutely lovely little site Trev and Sue, and a lovely village too! I really want to give that a try, not far either. Thanks for showing us around mate
Tricky place to get too and further than you think. Took us about 2 hours via Newmarket. Well worth it though and Days bakery is yummy 👍🏻🤣🚐 Trev
Ashridge Farm looks a lovely site and a lovely area to visit, thanks for sharing👍Mark & Coral
It’s very pretty in the village. We had a nice chilled few days doing not much 🤣 a bit like lockdown 🤣 Trev
What a great farm camping site! Love this little tour :-)
It’s a beautiful little village and the camp site was perfect for a 3 night break 😃🚐 Trev
Enjoyed the walk around the lovely site and quaint village. 👍 Graeme
Thanks Graeme, it’s a small site but very well presented indeed 😃 Trev
Hi Trev & Sue,
I’ve missed your videos the past few days.
Looks a great video,
I look forward to watching it now.😀👍
Thanks Thomas 😃
What a pretty little village it looked lovely inits autumn dress once again thank you for sharing your wonderful pictures with us 🥂
Thank you Anne. Stay warm and well 😃 Trev
Hi Both. Looks like a great little site and enjoyed the stroll around the village. Glad you managed to get out and about. TFS. Keep safe
Thank you, yes that was just a couple of weeks before this lockdown. Our November Scottish trip will now be axed sadly. Hope to get one more trip in this year though. 😃👍🏻 Trev
Another great video, I live just down the road from here near Royston, I want to go to this site for the weekend as it would only take me about 15 mins to get there. It was nice to see the springs again, I haven’t been there for many years. Will say i dont miss driving along the high street though, too many cars now
!
We like camping locally. It’s so interesting to see what you don’t realise is right on your doorstep, so to speak. It’s a lovely little site for two or three nights and there’s good links to all locations around the area. 😄👍🏻🚐 Trev
Thanks for showing us around Ashwell, we stayed over night at Ashbridge on our way to Belgium. So never got to look round the place, we had planned to go at Easter
this year. But obviously that got canceled.
Definitely worth going back to. Having the car was important as it’s fairly rural there and after a couple of nights you will need to spread your wings a bit 🙂 Trev
Looks like a lovely campground. Man I hate when it rains during a camping trip! Love the little walk into the treed area. Another quaint little village. Love the church and it's bells. Even the inside of that church is amazing. The architecture is just so beautiful. I saw ponies. May have to start a thing with your videos "can you spot the ponies?" lol. The ornate swirl design on that pink-ish colored building was cool. Was probably considered extra elaborate back in the day. Great video, as always!
The church was having work done to repair one side. I couldn’t therefore film very much but the church clock bells could be heard for miles 😃 Trev
Our local site we store our van there and sometimes just pull it out for a weekend glad you enjoyed it great vlog trev
We used to go to our cousins farm near where we live but haven’t been for a while now 😃 Trev
Hi trev & sue Great video's this month just catched up with them.
Sorry I haven't replied lately had a bad month our motorhome as been bumped by a run away caravan in for repair at the moment.
Mom passed away a week ago.
Just starting to get back on track.
Keep safe look forward to your other video's 👍👍👍👍
Oh Julie I am so sorry. Losing my mother was devastating for me, so you have my sincere condolences. Your motorhome damage sounds both shocking and disappointing but surely must have been a freak accident. Both Sue and I send positive thoughts your way and we thank you for your continued support 💕
This looks an interesting video Trev 👍. I can't wait for covid to go away & we can all get out touring again 🤞👍
Thanks Andy 😃
Lovely place , spent quite a bit of time there when we lived in Yorkshire and stored our vehicle there as it was close to our daughter , including spending a great new year a couple of years ago. Nice to reminisce, as we now live on Norfolk we drive the car to see the grandkids and store the van locally. Did you check out the house prices in the estate agents window. ? Great video thanks.
We really liked it there. Yes the house prices were high but we have some villages in Suffolk just the same with the London affect. Don’t know how folks afford it 😦 Trev
Another great video Trev and Sue. I like the look of your rearview mirror/reversing camera - can I ask what make it is and are you pleased with it?
The rear view and reverse camera were fitted as standard on the motorhome so I am not sure of the make. It’s never let us down but I do clean the camera lens before most journeys. I certainly wouldn’t want to be without it with an 8 metre van 😃🚐👍🏻 Trev
@@PoshcatsCamping Thanks Trev. Agree - we have a reversing camera which links to the stereo unit and the camera does need regular cleaning. It's only a 5" screen and we have no rearview mirror, hence my interest in upgrading to a combined unit. Thanks for the info.
😊👍
😃👍🏻
👍 👍 👍
Thanks 😊
Crikey, that's an awful lot of screens to be looking at. Any more and you won't be able to see out of the windscreen. 👀
Haha yes there is no more room. I don’t actually look at the screens much while driving. The Caravan Club Sat Nav is the only one that speaks and I follow that whilst Sue my co-pilot keeps a check on the Google maps on the iPad to check the route ahead. The rear view camera is really handy for spotting the overtaking vehicles. 😃 Thanks for watching 👍🏻🚐 Trev
