For a wonderful Easter getaway or a relaxing May half-term vacation, consider choosing an independently owned holiday park that boasts a private beach as one of its standout features.
Nestled along the stunning Jurassic Coast in Dorset, Freshwater Beach Holiday Park offers a picturesque setting with lush green hills on one side and an expansive, untouched beach on the other. Positioned on a level ground, the park provides direct access to its exclusive beachfront characterized by fine shingle, giving it a beautiful golden appearance. Venture north along the beach, and you’ll encounter the striking West Bay Cliffs, while heading south leads you to the River Bride meandering across the shore before merging with the sea.
Conveniently located near the beach are a variety of comfortable caravans within the park, ranging from luxurious mobile homes offering uninterrupted sea views to contemporary options situated in the heart of the park.
If you prefer bringing your own tent, motorhome, or campervan, the park offers grass and hard-standing pitches equipped with essential amenities such as electricity, water, showers, and WiFi to cater to your needs.
At the core of the park lies the Jurassic Fun Centre, a hub of entertainment featuring heated indoor and outdoor pools with splash parks and various engaging attractions. Guests can also enjoy a 10-pin bowling alley, a restaurant, and a bar, ensuring there is no shortage of on-site activities to delight in.
A short stroll away lies the delightful village of Burton Bradstock, where visitors can explore charming traditional pubs and admire the quaint stone cottages. Additionally, a quick drive to West Bay, a charming harbor town at the mouth of the River Brit, offers a classic seaside ambiance with fish and chip eateries, cozy cafes, and a serene beach cove ideal for a relaxing swim under suitable conditions.
Adjacent to the park runs the South West Coastal Path, providing easy access to breathtaking coastal vistas right at Freshwater’s doorstep. The surrounding area is rich in captivating National Trust sites such as Coney’s Castle, ancient hillforts nestled amid verdant hills and untouched landscapes, and Golden Cap, a scenic coastal trail offering panoramic views of Lyme Bay and Dartmoor on clear days.
History enthusiasts and nature lovers should not miss a visit to Mapperton House, Gardens & Wildlands. This Jacobean manor opens on select dates, inviting visitors to explore its ornate rooms, formal gardens featuring an arboretum and orangery, and sprawling wildlands spanning over 1,000 acres teeming with wildflowers, birdlife, and deer.
