Downshay Farm Campsite, nr Swanage


It was drizzling  when we left and we had some really heavy showers on the way down. We planned to call in at Stonebridge Island Toby Carvery for breakfast but when we arrived it was closed due to technical reasons.

After a short search on the net we found another one in Knowle about 8 miles away, so the natural order was restored.

We arrived at Downshay Farm around 3pm. It is a small friendly site with room for 11 vans. The site is lawned and terraced on 3 levels. All pitches have Electric Hook Ups, some with lovely views of Corfe Castle and the Purbeck Hills.

By the time we arrived the sun had come out and it turned out to be a lovely evening.
The small Toilet Block was a little basic but nice and clean, with 3 toilets, 2 showers and a free to use washing machine.

Once again the awning went up really well, and we had a ride to Tesco in Poole for some holiday shopping and Diesel. On the way back we stopped to show Maddy the wonderful view across Poole Harbour, but unfortunately it was too misty to see in all its splendour so we had a ride along Swanage sea front.

Then we settled down in the van for tea and watched England v Russia in the 2016 European Championships. Before settling down for the evening.
