Site visited 2000

This site is the one I prefer when visiting London. It is extremely convenient for Windsor also. The site itself is surprisingly close to the M40 and M25 but is also peaceful.
Toilet block is standard CC - cannot be criticised. Access is easy. The pitches are hard standing or a few grass. You are just across the road from Denham aerodrome so there is a bit of noise from there but it is not obtrusive.
The shops are one mile away. It is convenient for London because you can catch a train from Denham Green direct to Marylebone and it is only 18 miles.
It is always busy so needs to be booked. The site is also one of the club’s members only sites and it is open all year. You pay a deposit for the barrier card here so do not forget to surrender it before leaving.

I have not included directions because as a members only site you will all have your books with you!

50 pitches. 2 serviced
All gravel hardstanding though there are also two concrete hardstandings (Photo 1) (Photo 2)

Reception, toilet block, laundry room and telephone are all in one building (Photo), there are two service points for water and waste. There are 2 Late Arrival pitches with electric.

The site is close to the M25 J17 (3.5 miles) though do follow the directions in the club sites book because if you follow your SatNav you will end up on a single track road for a mile with no passing places.

Usual Caravan Club standards though more compact. Entry /exit through one card operated security barrier. (Photo) The wardens live on site in a static van; there are no assistant wardens.

The site is in the middle of no-where, nearby is a small airfield, which is in daily use by pilot training aircraft, and lot’s of helicopters. (Photo). There is also a nature walk where you can walk your dog. (Photo).

The nearest shop / pub / petrol station is in Denham 1.5 miles away. The railway station (Photo) is there also, which takes you to London Marylebone to see the sights (Photo).

A travelcard (return ticket which also includes underground travel) is only £9 and is valid after 10am. There are trains every half hour and the car park is cheap (£2 after 9am all day) and has 24-hour security.

However - you are just a 14 mile drive away from Windsor and Eton too. (Photo).

For provisions, there are lots of major supermarkets within a 10 minute drive

London is only eighteen miles away, and you can reach it by train from Denham Station into Marylebone Station and good advice if you are sightseeing is to purchase a combine train and underground ticket - you get a good saving.

Windsor is not far away either Castle above the town and valley is almost surreal when viewed from Eton

To find site:
From north, exit M25 at junction 17 onto A412 and follow signs to Denham. In Denham Green turn right into Denham Green Lane, signed for Picnic Area. Continue along this road to T junction and turn right into Tilehouse Lane. Site is on right just past the airfield through Park Homes to entrance immediately on the right. If coming from the south exit M25 onto M40 London bound and exit at junction 1 onto A40 and right onto A412 and follow directions above. Do not be tempted, particularly if using a Sat Nav to use Tilehouse lane from north or south as road is very narrow.

Wyatts Covert, which is open all year, is a compact member’s only site with just 50 pitches, situated between the village of Denham Green and Denham Aerodrome in Buckinghamshire. As a result of its location there is a fair amount of light aircraft noise during the day but this finishes during early evening.
The pitches, all hardstanding, are set out around tarmac roads. The pitches are not as large as you find on more modern Club sites and it would be a struggle to get a full sized awning, caravan and car all on the hardstanding on some. The warden called them City pitches!
There is one facility building which houses the reception and the toilet/showers the latter being kept perfectly clean but are really in need of an upgrade. The washing up area is fully enclosed to give winter protection. There are three service points which are within easy reach of all pitches there is also one for motorhomes.
The site currently has KeZone WiFi but this is due to be upgraded to the second generation WiFi recently announced by the Caravan Club. I found my Vodafone dongle worked well at 3G speeds. There is no TV hookup but given the relatively open aspect of the site satellite reception should be fine from most pitches. The site does not have any facilities for children.
If I were to sum up this site I would say that it’s fine if there are places you wish to visit from the site, its not so much a sitting around and relaxing type site.
Likewise there is nothing on site for children so the same would apply. Whilst I appreciate that the site is close to London it is also fairly expensive.

This site seems to have two main uses. Firstly to access either Central London by train from Denham or other attractions like Kew Gardens and Hampton Court or it appeared to being used by people working in the area.
For shopping there is a handy general store in Denham Green not far from the station. For a supermarket you have to travel to Uxbridge where there is a Sainsbury’s which is about 2 miles from the site. Apart from the Biggles Restaurant on the aerodrome, you have to travel further afield for a better selection of restaurants or takeaways. There are several Golf Courses in the area, fishing is also available nearby, see the information point for details.
