  • Pet-friendly site on 235 acres of parkland
  • Half an hour's drive from Silverstone
  • Fishing lakes, bars and restaurants
What a whopper of a site. Award-winning activity and fishing centre Billing Aquadrome is a couple of miles from Great Billing in Northamptonshire and set over 235 acres of green parkland and lakes. With so much to do around its grounds, it's likely that you'll want to stay put here for your entire trip… and if you do desire to speed off somewhere, Silverstone is only half an hour's drive away. The site is set an aquadrome surrounded by water, so it has fishing lakes of varying sizes and depths where avid anglers can cast off for carp and common mirror carp, catfish, pike, roach, bream, tench and rudd. Bring along your own fishing kit and an up-to-date licence, and buy a fishing ticket from the team if you want to try your luck. Away from the water, the many other facilities include bars and restaurants (yes, plural, plus a beer garden). Just take note that the bar, beer garden and restaurant are all adults-only from 10pm. And speaking of the essentials... there are takeaways, a supermarket and shops right on site too, as well as picnic areas, Sky Sports and – if you need your barnet tamed after all that activity – a hairdresser's.

Shelduck (area 2) non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Have been going to Billing for many years now, such a lovely site - plenty to do if you want it, but at the same time lots of open space if you just want peace and quiet - we like a mixture of the two, so it's great for us, and the improvements by the new owners are coming along a treat - great new shower / toilet block and also loving the amphitheatre with the giant screen - that will be fab when the Euro games are on, so hope to visit again soon - nice to see pitch rates are still very reasonable - so many other sites are over-charging in my opinion - having said we have been for many years we only recently found out about the stunning waterfall a short walk for m the park (see piccie) which was a bonus

Shelduck (area 3) electric grass pitch

Liked: This site has a lot going for it, and its clear that money is being spent on bringing it up to date. New shower/toilet blocks (although only 1 of 3 hand-driers working in ladies in Shellduck 3). Pool nice and booking system meant it wasn't overcrowded. Lovely fish and chips - crisp batter and twice cooked real chips. For kids meals, it was chicken strips, not pre-formed and processed. Staff friendly and welcoming. Great outdoor music area.

Disliked: A few inconsiderate neighbours who didn't understand site etiquette.

Local attractions

You may opt to stay on site for your full holiday, but if you're up for exploring the local area, there's plenty to see and do to keep you entertained.

For racing of a non-motorised style, Towcester Racecourse is within half an hour. It's about an hour from here to the UK's biggest zoo at Whipsnade, and to Europe's biggest artificial lake at Rutland Water. About 35 minutes' drive north is Market Harborough and the massive adventure play centre Mini Mischief.
