With the
start of the meteorological spring things are starting to come alive on the
park and we are looking forward to longer days, better weather and the start of
a/the new camping season. The Easter Holidays are the first chance many
of us have to get away in the Spring and we are taking bookings now for the
glamping pod, touring and camping pitches and static caravans. We have spacious, level grass pitches for
tents, caravans and motorhomes as well as fully serviced pitches.
Our friendly,
rural campsite is ideally placed with good transport links via the M5 and A303 and
is a great base to explore Somerset. We
have an onsite workshop for servicing and maintenance and an onsite shop where you can stock up on essentials and supplies
whilst you are here.
There is
plenty to see and do locally over the Easter Holidays from Easter Egg hunts to
jousting – here are a few of our favourite events to check out.
The Bishops
Palace in nearby Wells is a great place to visit at any time of year. It has been the home of the Bishop of Bath
& Wells for over 800 years and is a magnificent historic building, complete
with moat and drawbridge! Over Easter
this year they have a range of activities from
Easter Bonnet and basket making and mask making as well as medieval falconry
displays – for information on dates and booking see the Bishops Palace website.
If Medieval
is your thing, Glastonbury Abbey is holding a Medieval Fayre over the Easter
weekend of 15th & 16th April, with hog roast,
knights, jousting, live music and medieval cookery. For a programme of events visit the Glastonbury Abbey website
The multi award
winning Haynes International Motor Museum, in close-by Yeovil also has a great
range of events over Easter for the whole family. The spring bunny children’s museum trail runs
from 1st to 17th April with an Easter Egg hunt between 14th

karting and of course the amazing car collection it’s well worth a visit. For more information on events visit their website
Hestercombe
Gardens, Nr Taunton is a wonderful place to visit – especially in the Spring. Set in 50 acres with the Victorian
