The Old Brick Kilns Park

Monday, May 10th, 2010

If you are looking for a great place to take your caravan in Norfolk then The Old Brick Kilns Park in Barney near Fakenham is well worth a look. Set in the heart of North Norfolk this award winning, landscaped park is designed with the family in mind. It is in a quiet, rural location and boasts an outdoor children’s play area, an indoor play area with table tennis, a pool table and television. There is a small fishing lake stocked with carp, bream, rudd and tench (I had some great fun catching them).

There are over sixty spacious semi hard standing pitches for your caravan, tent or trailer tent. There are some lovely local walks from the park where there is an abundance of wildflowers and wildlife. Norfolk’s lovely beaches are not far away if you fancy a day by the sea away from your caravan.

There is a chef serviced restaurant at the park where all food is prepared on site. The restaurant is open on select nights. Their website is very informative, click here to visit online.

The owners are really friendly and helpful too, I had a very nice week here at Easter. Give it a try!

Before you leave make sure you have obtained your caravan insurance, don’t leave home without it!

Yorkshire – Popular with Caravanners

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

Apparently the amount of people taking holidays in Yorkshire has boomed, figures suggest.

Since I originate in Yorkshire i’m probably biased, but I don’t think I’m being unfair in saying that there’s some fantastic scenery. Although the Yorkshire dales make lovely caravan trip, my favourite for scenery are the north yorkshire moors:

Stunning, don’t you think? And close to the coast too!

The latest stats from Visit England for last summer’s visitors show that trips to Yorkshire grew by 35 per cent – not only is that greater than the English average , but it’s pretty impressive in this economy.

There are quite a lot of caravan parks in Yorkshire, particulary in North Yorkshire. They all offer easy access to the beautiful coastal areas of Yorkshire.

Visitors to Carwood Holiday Caravan park can expect to enjoy access to fantastic walks on the 12 acres of land, as well as views across the park’s own lake. Not only that, it is only a short distance from York city centre.

Marcus Simmons, managing director of iknow-uk, an online tourism provider, said, ‘from castles and famous bridges to stunning natural landscapes with Roman and Norman World Heritage Sites, the north-east has enough tourist attractions to rival those of any country in the world’.  I would have to agree!

It is important that anybody thinking of taking a caravan holiday this year is strongly encouraged to take out a suitable Caravan Insurance policy.
