Napton Tennis Club

Napton Tennis Club sits just outside Southam in Warwickshire, serving the local tennis community rather than casual visitors. It's a proper working sports facility - courts, probably a clubhouse, the sort of place where regulars have been knocking balls about for years. If you're a keen player looking for a game while staying at Holt Farm Campsite nearby, it's worth ringing ahead to see if they offer temporary membership or guest rates. Most clubs do, though you'll need to check their current terms.

For holiday makers, this isn't a drop-in attraction. You won't just turn up and have a knock about unless you know someone or they've got a visitor scheme running. It's not like a public leisure centre where you can book a court by the hour. That said, if tennis is your thing and you're staying at one of the nearby campsites - Hill Farm Glamping is only 3.5 miles away - a quick phone call to Napton might unlock a decent session. The club presumably has proper courts and probably attracts a decent standard of player.

The real value here is for families staying locally who play tennis already. Solo travellers and non-players should look elsewhere. Set it alongside a broader Warwickshire trip - there's plenty to do in the county - but don't make this the reason to book accommodation. Ring them first, establish what's possible, then decide. It could be a decent afternoon for the right person.
