Park Resorts have two major holiday resorts in Wessex, that lovely region of south west England that is so beautiful and unique. There is one park at Bideford in Devon and four Parks on the Isle of Wight. All have stunning views and lots of attractions both within and in the areas outside the parks. Why not try them all? Well why not! Make some grand breaks!

The Park Resort in Devon is on the north coast at beautiful Bideford.

The town is gateway to Devon's rugged north coast. The long distance famous footpath the Tarka Trail can be accessed from Bideford. The town itself is most attractive, colour washed and showcasing its grand past as an important port. Merchant houses can be seen that date back to those days. Bideford is on the west side of the River Torridge, it still is a port and there is a great walk along the quay. Westward Ho beach which has a Blue Flag is not far away. Marvellous for the kids. The pretty town of Clovelly is close.
The resort itself is in a sylvan hilly setting. The view of the sea is wonderful. There is a heated swimming pool outside and another indoor pool. Lots of entertainment and other attractions. Accommodation is very comfortable in either a caravan or a chalet. There are five grades of caravan and whichever you choose you have free entertainment, gas and electricity!

The four parks on the Island are Thorness Bay, Nodes Point, Lower Hyde and Landguard, which means one on the north coast and three on the pretty east coast. There is a FREE FERRY on selected dates.
It is not far from Cowes where the famous sailing races start. Cowes is a pleasant town with narrow streets and unique shops and plenty of eating places. The town has a chain ferry (it does carry cars) that the kids might find fun. The ferry connects East and West Cowes over the River Medina.

There is lots to do in the Park! The kids and the adults will have a lot of fun. Excellent accommodation. The caravan holiday homes come in 5 grades, there are chalets of course and at the luxury end there are the Signature Lodges!

This is also in the beautiful Shanklin area and nestles in woodland. A bit further north is Sandown, another lovely beach. Why not visit the Isle of Wight Zoo while you are in Sandown.

Please note that National Express coach services have been suspended due to the current pandemic.
Why not travel by Coach
If you do decide the leave the car at home and help the environment too, why not go National Express. They run coaches all over the country. Some pretty good fares too.
Just imagine - sit back and relax, no hassling with the traffic!!!
Do you know that you can book on your mobile phone and they will send the ticket as a text!!!!
