Area
The site is nestled between the beauty of the Cotswolds and the scenic Chiltern Hills. There is plenty of variety to the cycling through the scenic Oxfordshire countryside and the quaint villages built with warm Cotswold limestone. Woodstock and the magnificent Blenheim Palace (birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill) are 3 miles from the site. Historic Oxford can be reached along the towpath beside the Oxford Canal / River Cherwell. Other attractions include Rousham House, Waddesdon Manor and Broughton Castle. There is a brand new, surprisingly large, Cooperative supermarket 0.4 miles from the campsite in the village of Bletchingdon.
Rally Site
The site is lovely. There is a licensed cafe which serves brunch and evening meals along with the usual coffee and cakes. The on-site shop stocks general necessities including: bread, milk, eggs, sweets and general groceries. There is also a large range of meat for sale that has been reared and produced from the farm. The 3 toilet and shower blocks located across the park are modern and well kept. They include toilets, sinks, showers and washing up sinks. Two of the blocks include disabled and family rooms. There are also two laundry rooms with washing machines and tumble dryers. There is free wi-fi on the site. There is also a large play area for children, with swings, slides, climbing frames etc. There is a large dog exercising area.
There is a wide range of pitches, from dedicated RV pitches (for very large vehicles), fully serviced and electric hardstanding pitches, plus electric and non-electric grass pitches. There is a very gentle slope to some of the pitches.
Rather than being arranged in a rally field, we will be spread throughout the park. You can choose the pitch type and if you mention it in your booking, we will do our best to locate you near your friends. Early booking is strongly recommended, to ensure that pitches are still available and that you get the pitch type you want.
The following is a downloadable layout of the campsite showing the facilities and the locations of the various pitches (colour coded to show their type):

The campsite's website has plenty of information and photographs: Greenhill Leisure Park.
Alternative Accommodation
The villages of Bletchingdon, Kirtlington and Woodstock are all close by the campsite. The larger Kidlington is just a little further away at about 3 miles as the crow flies.
Rides
A choice of 2 rides will be available each day - one short and one medium.
For those that have not yet attended a Tandem Club rally, we do not go out as a large group. Instead we tend to set off in small groups, so that we do not swamp the local roads. Each rally attendee is expected to bring their own printed copy of the route instructions / gpx track files. These will be published to those booked on the rally about 1 month before the start of the rally.
Annual General Meeting
This year’s AGM will be held on Saturday 11th April 2020 at 5.00 p.m. at Bletchingdon Village Hall, which has tandem sized bicycle racks! This is open to all those attending the rally and all members of the Tandem Club.
Entertainment:
On Friday there will be a welcome evening with wine and soft drinks in the on-site Games Room.
What to do if you want to take a break from cycling?
There are lots of tourist attractions locally, including Blenheim Palace, Broughton Castle and Rousham House and Garden.
