Set in fifteen acres of beautiful countryside with glorious downland views,The Orchards is a five star park of exceptional standard. The holiday caravans are set amongst apple trees in a tranquil and spacious setting whilst the marked touring pitches are arranged on terraces and gently sloping paddocks, broken up by trees, hedging and fencing. The Orchards is ideally situated for the island’s attractions whilst in a country location. There are many excellent cycling and walking trails from the park and you can explore on foot or by bicycle. A complete site and ferry package is offered in conjunction with Red Funnel Ferries (Southampton to East Cowes) and Wightlink Ferries (Portsmouth to Fishbourne and Lymington to Yarmouth) inclusive of site fees and return ferry fares for cars, trailers, touring and motorcaravans plus up to 6 persons.

The Site is situated on the outskirts of the small village of Newchurch in the beautiful Arreton Valley, with its numerous country walks. With a  pleasant rural setting, the site offers flat, level, well drained meadowland pitches. Trees and shrubs punctuate the park layout, giving a feeling of privacy. The site presents an ideal location from which to enjoy your holiday. Half the island is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and there are over 120 attractions and places of interest to visit. The park itself is located in an ideal position to reach all parts of the island, and within easy reach of some of the island’s finest beaches. Sandown and Shanklin are only three miles by road; both these towns share the same sheltered bay with its sandy beaches and safe bathing. Newchurch village with its Norman church is five minutes on foot and there you will also find a pleasant country inn which serves food. Further afield there are many activities available including sea and freshwater fishing, golf, tennis, squash, swimming, horse riding, windsurfing, sailing etc.

As you top the rise on the approach road, you can see the site splendidly set in parkland on the valley floor, with the Forest of Bere at its edge - a superb location. Part of the site is reserved as a children's play and picnic area; you can also walk, cycle, picnic and horse ride, enjoying the peace and quiet of the former royal Forest of Bere. If you want to explore further afield, there's everything from a day trip to the Isle of Wight to a visit to Portsmouth to see the restored ships (the Mary Rose, the Victory, the Warrior). Then you can visit Lee-on-Solent to watch the big ships of today sailing up the Solent.
