Somerset Caravan Holidays
Somerset is a county in South West England that is also sometimes referred to as Somersetshire. The county borders Gloucestershire and Bristol to the north, Wiltshire to the east, Dorset to the south-east and Devon to the south-west.

That makes the county a great place to base yourself for exploring all that the south west has to offer but for those wanting to stay closer to their chosen holiday park, there is a great selection of attractions, towns and cities and must see locations found throughout the county.

Somerset is mostly a rural county, full of rolling hills including the Blackdown Hills, Mendip Hills, Quantock Hills and the famous Exmoor National Park but the county is also home to some great urban areas including the county town of Taunton but it is the county’s main holiday resorts that are of the most importance to us here at CaraHols.

Caravan Holidays in Somerset

Along with most of the South West of England, Somerset is blessed with some of the best weather, in terms of higher temperatures and sunnier days, than most other parts of the British Isles.

That, when couple with the beautiful countryside and idyllic coastline on offer throughout the county makes Somerset a great holiday location for those who like to get out and about, who like to explore on foot and who are looking for a relaxed time whilst on holiday.

That is not to say that when you fancy a faster pace it isn’t on offer in the county with Bath and Taunton offering all you would expect from urban city centres and with the main holiday resorts in the county offering a good mix of attractions and activities, especially throughout the long days of the warmer summer months.

When many people think about Somerset it is the caves, gorges and rivers that are found throughout the county that instantly come to mind as not only are many of these major tourist attractions but many of them are stepped in local folklore.

The most famous caves and biggest attraction is the iconic Wookey Hole whilst popular gorges include Cheddar Gorge and Ebbor Gorge. The river Avon flows through Bath and Taunton, two of the biggest urban areas in the county.

Of course from our point of view it is always the caravan holiday parks on offer in a region that makes it stand out or snot stand out but the good news is that whilst the county may not have the same number of holiday parks as other counties in the South West, the parks that it does offer are varied and are mostly of good quality.

From larger holiday parks owned and operated by household brands that are located in the more popular coastal holiday resorts to small caravan parks that are located near to historical sites and places of stunning natural beauty, Somerset has a caravan holiday park to suit all tastes, budgets and accommodation preferences.
