Alder Country Park

The gravel pops under your tyres as you roll into Alder Country Park, a straightforward touring site where caravans and campervans settle in among established pitches and mature trees that give the place its name.

This one's for tourers who want a reliable base without fuss — families with a caravan hitched behind, couples in motorhomes exploring the area, anyone who appreciates a well-kept park without needing bells and whistles. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth a call ahead if you're travelling with four legs. The pitch types keep it simple: hardstanding or grass for caravans and campervans, nothing fancy, nothing pretending to be glamping.

Facilities aren't specified in detail, so it's worth checking what's available when you book — assume the touring essentials but confirm hookups, waste disposal, and shower blocks to avoid surprises. Campfires are a check-on-arrival matter, so don't bank on an open flame without asking first. The atmosphere leans practical and peaceful rather than rural idyll or family entertainment hub — a decent overnight or a quiet few days for those who prefer their own company and a good book.
