Have played at Viv Richard's Ground and also Stanford's ground. The first is exceptional as you could imagine but Stanford's is a bit of a wreck now with no work been done since he was arrested. Though saying that the changing rooms and The sticky wicket are all good.

Locally, Ampthill and Campbell Park in Milton Keynes are very nice grounds. Few nice ones with school games etc, Bancrofts in Essex and St Albans schhool

Yes, I'll give you that as it's only a couple of mins up the road from me and is a nice ground. There are a few nice grounds dotted around but most of them are in the outlying areas.

Yeah it was an absolute beauty of a pitch. Never played there but always wanted to - it looked so good. They have built a new one behind the new Peugeot offices but doesn't look anywhere near as good  :(

I'm still in touch with a few lads who still play there. they like it as the facilities are awesome but the wicket isn't quite there yet. Might take a drive over during the summer and see what it's like

Having visited both and played on the former, agreed! Although St Austell's up there, mainly because it's in St Austell and anything that isn't nailed down will be nicked...
Haha, spoken like someone who truly knows Cornwall! Yeah St.Austell is a lovely ground, just a shame about the town!

Only down there a few weeks a year, but I know the place like the back of my hand! Can imagine there are some gorgeous grounds down there, I've only seen a few!

I play at clevedon and as biased as I may be, on  sunny afternoon i not played on a nicer ground. The pitch is always good, nice outfield, good clubhouse/changing rooms too.

Ahhh not too far from a few of us. Ian Buchanan plays for Minehead and me, Ayrtek and Peplow are up in Bristol. I believe Tom will be playing at your ground next year.
