Though the best I have played on I must say is the ground at John Paul Getty's home in Buck's.
My mate is one of the grounds staff a Wormsley. we have the OCA league groundsman  courses at the ground. wonderful place, the pavilion is just so quaint.

Colwyn Bay CC Looking after a young Tom Maynard whilst his old man was plundering runs

Cholomendy CC  With its castle overlooking the ground

Neston CC always a good track and especially now the redevelopments have been completed and can sneak out for stunning ice creams from the nearby shop

like a lot of grounds that have good views especially of mountains trying to work out the names and where they are  as mountain hiking  are another of my hobbies

Grew up not far from Neston and have played at all those grounds. And you're right the Ice Cream from Parkgate is very good especially if you visit the chippy before!

If any of you are in the North East - check out Raby Castle CC.



Probably the best I've played at for scenery.

Sheep graze on the outfield between games or they used to, played havoc with the whites.

Richmond CC is probably the best I have played at....

Where Middlesex play a T20?  If so,  I was a bit disappointed when I visited.

Not the best ground in terms of pitch quality, but easy on the eye nevertheless; Englefield in Berkshire.
