Guide to Horley

Horley Campsite Website

Horley is one of our sites for the 24hrs/Tournament of Arms, situated not far from Banbury off the M40. It consists of a massive open field (probably close to a dozen football pitches in size) bordered on 3 sides by woodland which is usually used to run linear missions through. There are two different buildings that can be hired and the camping field is large enough that there is usually two bookings at the same time. Both buildings have a well equipped kitchen area and some indoor space for sleeping or storing monster props.

Directions

There are two options for getting to Horley from Bath – this is the motorway route.

• Get onto the M40.
• Come off at Junction 11, Banbury/A422.
• Keep following the A422
• Turn right just before the White Horse pub up Horley Path Road
• Go past one turning on the left and one turning on the right
• The entrance to the scout camp is on the left in a stand of trees and may or may not be signposted.
• If you get to Horley itself, you’ve gone too far.
