Orchard Bank

Why stay here ...

Welcome to Orchard Bank Caravan and Motorhome Park.

Nestled in delightful countryside close to the ancient fort of Cadbury Hill, fifteen miles south of Bristol. The site is peaceful and secluded, but good coffee and cake, a decent pint and the morning paper are all available a pleasant fifteen-minute walk across the fields in Yatton.

The village also offers a Co-op and an excellent range of dining options including fish and chips, Indian and Chinese, so there is no need to cook if you fancy getting something delivered. We have a list of eating options available in the area and will be happy to recommend something to match your mood!

The site is enclosed by lovely mature hedges and offers five roomy hard pitches in two paddocks. Each pitch includes an electric hook-up and large grass area so you can spread out and make yourselves comfortable. There is a mains tap in each paddock with recycling bins and a chemical disposal point by the site entrance.

We are in the process of developing a bit of a rewilding centre which does include grass that’s allowed to romp away with the season and hedges that are allowed to flower and fruit without being manicured to within an inch of their lives. So if you love the natural world and are not fussed about lawns and hedges, we are probably the place for you. But don’t worry, you won’t be expected to wade through 2-foot-high grass! There will be paths cut to all the important places and a patch among the grass for your table and chairs if you prefer to sit there.

The area offers lots of interest, including the fantastic seven mile beach between Burnham and Brean where you can park and enjoy the spectacular sunsets. The Mendip Hills and Cheddar Gorge are close by with a wide variety of walks, the area is well known for birdwatching including the famous starling murmurations on the Somerset Levels. Cyclists love the area with flat cycling nearby and on the Levels or, for the energetic, there are challenges such as the aforementioned Cheddar Gorge. We can supply more details of places to go. And of course, Bristol, Bath, Weston Super Mare and Wells are all within an easy drive or accessible via public transport.

As the new owners our exciting plans for the next couple of years include digging a half-acre lake and developing bee friendly pasture to support our resident hives. We don't take the honey, we're just trying to put a few more bees into the world.

As there are livestock close to the site regrettably we can't take pets or children.
Having lived in the village for years, we feel completely privileged to be setting off on this exciting new venture and are determined to make our small but perfectly formed site one of the friendliest and most enjoyable in the south west.

Come and see us! We'd love to welcome you to Orchard Bank soon.
