Cleo

Ten pitches on the South Downs Way in a quiet valley. Dogs on a lead, dog mess cleared up, and Holstein cows nearby. I'll keep my eyes on the cows. Politely.

Bonnie

Ten pitches, a farm with cows and sheep, and a short walk along the Way to Rodmell. A lead and a bin bag are the rules. I'll be good.
