About Our Parks
If you are feeling energetic some parks offer
a range of activities, including canoeing,
abseiling, climbing or caving or you could enjoy
more traditional countryside pursuits of bird
watching, fishing or walking.
Welcome
COUNTRYSIDE
DISCOVERY
Parks in Countryside Discovery are in tune
with the natural environment with rare birds,
deer, badgers and otters visiting the parks,
plus a wide array of flora and fauna.
The 'greenness' may be recognised with many
parks achieving a green award.
Countryside Discovery is a group of family-run
caravan and camping parks in peaceful countryside locations,
many in Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Each park will
have its own individual character, but all parks in Countryside
Discovery share a common theme of tranquillity.
How do we know that? Because each park is inspected
before it can join Countryside Discovery. The park will be
small, less than 150 pitches, away from busy roads and towns,
and without the disturbance of noisy entertainment or discos,
to ensure that you enjoy a peaceful, tranquil holiday.
Countryside Discovery Parks can be found throughout the UK.
Visit our website at: www.countryside-discovery.co.uk

To receive a particular park brochure please contact the park of
your choice. We also operate a Âbook aheadÊ service to enable
you to tour from park to park.
To ensure you enjoy a comfortable holiday,
all parks in Countryside Discovery are
inspected for quality under grading schemes
run either by Visit Britain or the AA and they
may also be a member of the British Holiday
& Home Parks Association.
ItÊs not just touring caravans and tents on Countryside Discovery
Parks, there is a wide range of accommodation available,
including caravan holiday homes, chalets, glamping, cottages
and B&B. So you should be able to find a park to suit your needs.
