The Old Vicarage offers a relaxed and tranquil atmosphere for your stay for camping. We have BBQ's, camp fires to hire and have the shallow river to play in. Free Wifi. Well behaved dogs allowed on leads at all times. Riverside site in grounds of a 17th-century house in Nottinghamshire Close to Sherwood Forest and 25 miles from Nottingham Cave bar on site open on Bank Holidays You'll sense the history all around you at The Old Vicarage, from the old house to the remains of the water mill in the river bed. Stays here are in the grounds of a 17th-century house in the village of Elkesley, six miles from Worksop and 25 miles from Nottingham. Its grounds run down to the banks of the Poulter river, and are lined with stands of acacia, sycamore, ash and oak trees which were originally donated to the first vicar by the Duke of Newcastle in the 1830s. There's plenty of space around the site for traditional outdoor activities, with a rope swing and stepping stones over the shallow river and a bridge that's perfect for playing Pooh Sticks. In the surrounding area there are animal parks and nature reserves to walk around, or to head back further in time, you could take one of the trails through ancient Sherwood Forest, around quarter of an hour's drive away. Guest facilities on site centre around the Cave Bar, a cool little space built into an exposure of 500-million-year-old sandstone, plus an outdoor terrace for sipping drinks out in the sunshine. Other amenities include a washing-up area and bathrooms with plentiful hot showers, toilets and baby changing facilities.

Gwersyllt Rhos y Gallt Campsite

10 units · Tents12 acres · Powys, Mid Wales
Guests to Rhos y Gallt describe the campsite as a little gem of a site - small, quite and tranquil with wonderful sunsets. The site can accommodate up to 5 caravans and 10 tents situated ​on a level 2 acre site within the beautiful rolling hills of Montgomeryshire in Mid Wales. There are hard standing pitches with electric hook-up as well as grass pitches with and without electric hook-up. There is also a field bordering a river which is used for wild camping - but you'll have to share it with the sheep! The toilet block has a family wet room with shower, toilet, wash hand basin and baby changing unit, a separate toilet, shower and kitchen area with freezer. The site borders a river meadow where visitors can wonder down and take a walk down with the river bank, relax by the water edge, throw a few skimmers, do a spot of fishing or even go wild water swimming (at your own risk!). ​Well behaved dogs are welcome (maximum 2 per unit). ​We were delighted to receive a nomination for The Camping and Caravanning Club Best Hideaway Site in 2021 and grateful to our wonderful guests for the nomination. ​

Top kid-friendly activities in the West Midlands

  • Dudley Zoological Gardens and its adjoining 11th-century castle have been a family favourite in the West Midlands for generations—set aside at least half a day to visit its exotic animals.
  • Not far from the heart of West Bromwich, Sandwell Valley Country Park is an unlikely setting for a fully restored working Victorian farm, but indeed, the park has one with an adventure playground, an aerial high ropes course, and cycle hires. There’s also a RSPB visitors centre ideal for a spot of peaceful birdwatching.
  • The 18th-century Hawkstone Park Follies—just north of Shrewsbury in Shropshire—is lots more than just a garden. Take a magical walk through woodlands and along cliff edges to discover ravines and tunnels. Dogs are welcome too.
  • Even without a child in tow, Cadbury World is a fair option for a rainy day. The 4D virtual ride on the Crunchie rollercoaster captures the Willy Wonka world you might expect, and both kids and adults enjoy the melted chocolate handed out. Adorn yours with sprinkles, marshmallows, and, of course, chocolate buttons. After meeting the Cadbury drumming gorilla, you’ll be humming Phil Collins until you’re back at camp.
  • The 26-acre Black Country Living Museum encompasses more than 50 buildings, including a Methodist chapel, pub, and school, that have been dismantled brick by brick and rebuilt to create a late 19th-century Black Country village. Exhibits include a 1920s cinema, a 1930s fish and chip shop, and a 30-minute mine tour to experience the life of an 1850s miner.
