Tel: BH20 5PG
Escape to an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that includes part of the World Heritage Coastline. The site is an open, sloping field surrounded by farmland. It has views to the Sea and Clavell Tower on one side and the Purbeck Hills on the other. Kimmeridge Bay (also part of the Smedmore Estate) is famous for fossils, fascinating geological strata and rock pools. There is wind surfing and diving on the ledges and a slipway for boats alongside the Dorset Wildlife Trust’s Fine Marine Centre, which is open to the public.
Many people stay at the site for its walking opportunities as the Dorset Coastal Path runs close by. For the avid explorer there is the wartime-abandoned village of Tyneham on M.O.D land. In a north westerly wind, the distant tank fire on the ranges is the only intrusion to this otherwise peaceful rural area.

The New Forest Caravan Club Centenary Site is 3 miles from the pleasant village of Bransgore in the New Forest National Park. Originally part of a Second World War airfield, parts of the original runway still exist. There is also a memorial to the New Forest Airfields just to the north of the Site. Set amidst beautiful countryside, the Site has an open aspect, and is home to The Club’s celebratory Centenary Garden. There is also a dog walk, play equipment and a playing field for younger members. The New Forest Caravan Club Centenary Site promises to be a great base from which to explore by foot or bike, and cycle routes start within 200 yards. It’s also conveniently located to visit Christchurch, Poole and Bournemouth, and the other beaches and resorts of the nearby coastline. |
