Thursday June 6th to Thursday 13th (7 Nights)
Wall Park Touring Caravan Park
Centry Road, Berry Head, Brixham, Devon TQ5 9ET www.centrytouring.co.uk 01803 856389
​
Less than half a mile from the centre of Brixham and from the Harbour, in one of the quieter parts of the town, this site is very highly rated on Trip Advisor, and has excellent shower and toilet facilities. Electric hook up included in price. There are so many “holiday” things to do in Brixham and nearby Paignton, Torquay, Dartmouth, and Salcombe that it is difficult to list them.
​​
Breakwater Beach
Close to the mouth of Brixham harbour is Breakwater Beach, one of the cleanest beaches on the English Riviera, South Devon’s beautiful bay. Not only is it a Blue Flag beach, but it has a Combined Seaside (resort) Award and been recommended by the Good Beach Guide. There’s disabled access with adjoining parking facilities, meaning everyone can enjoy it.
Life in the busy Devon fishing town of Brixham has always centred around the harbour, where heritage trawlers jostle for space with dayboats heading out to sea for the day’s catch, bringing it home daily to Brixham’s famous Fish Market. Here, in the heart of England’s Seafood Coast, the freshest fish and most delicious seafood is on the menu everywhere.
Rally 3
Wednesday September 4th to Thursday 12th (8 Nights)
Beechwood Caravan Park Beechwood, Malton Road, York YO32 9TH

​
Only 3 miles from the centre of York, just off the Ring Road, but set in 8 acres of countryside with mature trees and hedgerows. 40 pitches, all hard standing with own EHU and water supply. Excellent shower and toilet facilities. An ideal site for visiting the city of York.​
If you want a city break in a rural setting, look no further than Beechwood. This peaceful campsite is an easy 10 minute drive from York city centre. The city is full of historic attractions, independent shops and delicious places to eat and drink.
As you wander the famous Shambles and around the impressive York Minster you can feel history all around you. The Jorvik Viking Centre, York Dungeons, National Railway Museum and York Chocolate Story bring the past back to life with fun, interactive exhibits that you won’t want to miss. Plus, just slightly further afield, you’ll find treasures like 18th century Beningborough Hall and the Yorkshire Air Museum.
For those who love to shop, you’re really spoilt for choice. As well as a mix of independent retailers and familiar high street names, the city has its own McArthur Glen Designer Outlet, just 10 minutes from the campsite.
York also boasts incredible cafés, pubs, restaurants and bars. You’ll never struggle to find somewhere lovely to eat and drink, York is bursting with independent eateries. After a day exploring the city, visiting the attractions and shopping, you’ll want nothing more than to tuck into something delicious.
With the excellent transport links in and out of the city, you’ll never need to worry about where to leave your car either. There is a Park and Ride site just two miles from the campsite at Monks Cross shopping park.
