Welcome to Morn Hill Caravan Club Site Get to know Morn Hill This is a large site in , yet not overwhelming, as it’s divided into two areas, and is well separated by good trees and shrubs. It’s conveniently located for the ferries and exploring surrounding areas, however there is no late arrival area at this site which means it isn’t ideal for early or late ferry crossings. Winchester is an old Cathedral City of considerable charm, for it has retained many of its ancient buildings and happily excluded cars from its heart. This is an ideal base for touring, within an hour’s drive you can reach Oxford, Windsor, Chichester and the South Downs, The New Forest, Salisbury, Stonehenge, and Portsmouth.
