Dornafield Touring Park

One of the reasons all types of van users like public transport in places like Torbay is the lack of parking at peak times and the expense of parking. There are often queues at the Hillhead bus stops in both directions because bus passes can be used to get to all sorts of places and day tickets are available for families etc. Battling through the holiday traffic can be hard work. This is why I made a comment about lack of transport at Dornafield, I think this applies to Modbury too?

I presume seasonal pitches will be on offer and they offer good alternatives to people who don't live too far away.

I have noticed that the facilities on offer at some of the Club's bigger sites are getting hard to maintain, cafe and bar opening hours reduced, shops closing, lack of staff etc. I do hope the club will be able to maintain what it offers.

This Dornafield - is it near Torquay ?  I must confess I have lived in different parts of Devon and Cornwall for 48 years and have only been to Torquay once, so I can’t help with any inside information about the caravan site. I wasn’t too keen on Torquay on the day we did go there.   Has it improved?

Did we need another site in the SW, when there is a distinct lack of sites in other parts of the country

Perhaps the Club could build a wide access road and then charge a toll to use it. That would be a cash grab. Tongue and cheek firmly together.
