Longfold Farm Certificated Site

Tents and tourers, five vans at a time: Longfold Farm Certificated Site is a Certificated Site on a working arable farm at Bretherton, sitting quietly between Preston and Southport in west Lancashire. Andrew and Tammy run it on North Road, and though the site takes only five vans there are twelve electric hook ups laid across the field, so you get a genuine choice of spot rather than whatever is left. Croston is two miles away with an array of pubs and restaurants and a heritage trail through the village, and Croston station puts you on the Preston to Ormskirk line if you fancy Ormskirk market on a Thursday or Saturday. Preston city centre is 20 minutes by car and Southport about 30, with Martin Mere wildfowl centre and the motor museum at Leyland both within easy reach, and a cross section of footpaths scattered through the countryside around Bretherton. There is a heated toilet and shower block. Be clear about what this is: a quiet working farm, not a holiday park, so there is no shop, no play area and nothing laid on to entertain children beyond the fields themselves. Longfold Farm is open twelve months of the year, and rather than phoning, the owners ask you to text Andrew with your dates and he will confirm.
