DulhornFarmHolidayPark,Somerset

ENGLAND

Almost all campsiteshave their
originsin agriculture. Back inthe
dawnof campsite time, asfarmers
discovered that tents and,much
later, motorhomes, were a cash-
rich crop, campsitesarose asfarm
diversification enterprises. Investment
downthe yearstransformed fieldsto
top-flight sites.
To day, though, few fully retain
a farmfeel. Wide-openfieldswith
pitchesonly aroundthe perimeters,
signed walksalongfield boundaries,
the chancetopause andgazeat herds
of longhorn cattle, views of farm and
field asfar asthe eye canstretch...
This is DulhornFarmHoliday Park,
only fiveminutesfromthe M5yet with
a wonderfully remote feel.
We’ve usedthis site manytimes
asa stopover enroute toCornwall,
because of its convenientlocation.
And we’ve often remarkedthat this
place deservesmore of ourtime.
Earlier this yeara weekof holiday gave
usthe chancetoget toknowDulhorn
evenbetter.
First-class showeringfacilities,
laundry and washing-up area, oneof
the best security systems on anysite

(a height barrier is manually opened,

bystaff), large, levelpitches, two

playareas, afishing lake, a dog walk

and, aboveall, wide openvistas– for

all of those reasons, Dulhorn is an

enchanting site.

It’s beena PremierParkforsome

years anddeveloped alongthe way,

openingnew fields, increasingthe

numberof pitches(butstill retaining

the Dulhorn principleof only placing

touringpitchesaroundthe edges of

the fields) and, forthis year,more

hardstandings.

During ourweek’s holiday we

followedthe signposted farm walk,

exploredthe Somerset coast at Brean

andWeston-super-Mare,discovered

a fabulousdeli calledPyne’s at

Bridgwater, perusedthe architectural

magnificenceof England’s smallest

city, Wells, devoted a
