Beautiful Autumn Walks Near Caravan And Camp Sites In The UK
It is hard to believe that the summer is over just as it appears to have got going, but it’s already the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness. Autumn can be a beautiful time of year to get out for walks, particularly on crisp dry days when the leaves crunch underfoot and you can stop and pick blackberries to your heart’s content.
It’s a lovely time of the year to get away in your caravan or motorhome, as the kids have gone back to school and everywhere is less crowded, but the weather is still mild. If conditions are rather wet, then a caravan awning can help by providing a zone to shed your muddy boots and damp outer clothes without creating a humid fug in the main caravan.
Here are some enjoyable autumnal rambles near to caravan and campsites to check out.
Coed-Y-Llwyn Caravan and Motorhome Club Site, Gwynedd
This is a Caravan Club site open to non members in the heart of Snowdonia, with beautiful scenery wherever you turn and a wealth of outdoor activities to choose from that are literally on the doorstep. You are spoilt for choice for glorious walks, as any direction you take will lead somewhere wild and wonderful.
Adventurous types might wish to head for Snowdon, the Glyders, or Tryfan, which all provide challenging scrambles and exhilarating views from the summit. For a gentler walk, try the trail of Dinas Emrys, where you can learn all about the legendary battle between the red and white dragons who are said to sleep beneath the lake.
St David’s Lleithyr Meadow Caravan and Motorhome Club Site, Pembrokeshire
Travelling down the coast to Pembrokeshire, this site is close to the gorgeous Whitesands Bay, which is a fine expanse of sand that is perfect for an afternoon stroll. Dog restrictions are in place until 30 September. It’s easy to access the Wales Coastal Path very close to the beach, where you can walk to St David’s Head or further if you wish.
Hunter’s Moon Caravan Club Campsite, Dorset
This lovely campsite in Dorset is close to the Jurassic Coast, where you can take your pick from the many clifftop and shoreline walks. It’s a popular place for fossil hunting as the area has a rich geological history and is famous for rock formations such as Durdle Door. Further inland, you can visit the atmospheric Corfe Castle and explore the Great Wessex Way.
Chatsworth Park Caravan Club Campsite
This caravan site is in the heart of the Peak District and near to the magnificent Chatsworth Estate in Derbyshire. There are many walks around the parkland and woods that surround the grand house, and in the wider area you have the endless opportunities to explore the rolling moorland, woods and craggy peaks that characterise the area.
