How to enjoy a trip close to home

As we have only had a caravan for a few months, we couldn't wait for a proper trip to try out our new toy, so we booked a site only 4 miles from home- Holme Pierre point in Nottingham. We were quite pleasantly surprised that even though we were only just outside the city of Nottingham, we could have been anywhere in the middle of the countryside. It's a great feeling being able to relax in this way. Holme Pierre point has hard standing and it's flat. Close by are the national water sports centre, white water rafting, Sky trail high ropes course, mini golf, Segway, crazy golf cycle hire, walks, and a cafe. it was. Means to do our first trip close to home so we could check that we had everything we needed so that if we had any kit missing we could easily fix it. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I would recommend this site as a quick stopover for anyone travelling from one end of the country to the other and need a stopover, or for those wanting a city break in Nottingham. I have now already booked 4 holidays this year further afield and we can't wait to go exploring. Happiness is caravaning.
