End of season

We have now come to the end of another successful season at Woodland Caravan Park. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our new and returning guests for making it such a success.

The 2012 season starts on Monday 19th March, Charles, LJ, Tony and Carol all look forward to seeing you in 2012.

Summer is here

We have had a great start to the season with the weather in April being glorious and sunny. We were fully booked over the Easter and May Bank Holidays and our younger Guests enjoyed feeding the lambs. (especially the little black lamb called Easter)

We have turned the reception area into more of an information centre giving our Guests plenty of ideas to help them plan their days out.

The Well Dressing season is under way with many Peak District villages decorating their wells and springs with floral mosaic works of art. This attracts thousands of visitors to marvel at their splendour. It is one of the Peak District's oldest traditions.

The Ashbourne Festival is on from 17th June until 3rd July. The festival includes an innovative and diverse programme of entertainment for the whole family. The International Street Festival on 18/19th June will have a line up of world class Street Entertainers who will be wowing the crowds around the town. There is also the Ashbourne Highland Gathering taking place on 17th July.

We are also have the Snelston Church Fete on 12th June – a traditional fete where everyone is welcome.

We look forward to meeting new and returning Guests over the coming months.

2011 season starts...

Welcome to the Woodland Caravan Site website for 2011. LJ and I hope that all of you have not suffered unduly from the freezing weather, or from the effects of the subsequent thaw on our plumbing systems.

There are two changes to the Woodland Caravan Park for 2011 - Tony and Carol Sewell will be our wardens on site for the season, and sadly we have had to put up our prices slightly for Bank Holiday week-ends for the first time since opening in 2007.

Tony and Carol come to us with a wide experience of touring and being wardens. We are all excited about 2011 being the season when our customers are made aware of all the tourist, retail and cultural attractions in our area, as well as the wide range of walking opportunities on public footpaths and in the National Park.

We look forward to seeing you from March 21st when we open, and wish you all a happy, prosperous and sunny 2011.

Hot, glorious summer...

Summer appears to be flying by as the weather feels more friendly than in past years - let's hope it carries on.

The Well Dressing week was very popular, and now the Ashbourne Festival has started, it runs until July 3rd with street theatre, comedy, music drama and exhibitions. Catch an event from the Ashbourne Festival Programme.

Our wardens Garrie and Glyn are back for 2 months from July 1st which will result in a near permanent presence at the Park which I know is what some of you prefer. We are seeking full time wardens for next season so if you know of anyone suitable, please let us know. We will be advertising in the Caravan Club and Caravan and Camping magazines in September.

The sheep have been sheared, one ewe sadly died with two lambs but her lambs appear to be growing OK and are very much part of the flock. Bert, Bart and Beatrice are thriving, getting used to solid food and grass, but still very noisy for milk in the morning and evening. Bailey who was very very small at birth, has been reared on his own, but hopefully should join the other 3 B's in the next couple of weeks or so.

Thank you to all taking part in the lamb feeding, and we hope to see you all again before the summer is over!
