The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Charming riverside spot along the Cher near the Chissay lock and weir. Very quiet and peaceful, ideal for watching sunrises and sunsets. Accessible to vans and small motorhomes under 2.50 m height. Waste bins, bakery 600 m walk away, canoe rental nearby. Pleasant walks along the river and village exploration.
