Add your business details- Peaceful Cambridgeshire bell tent village next to Grafham Water
- Aqua park and bike hire five minutes' drive away
- Activities on site including ropes courses, climbing and bike tracks
Designed to provide families and friends with a weekend break or active holiday escape, the bell tent village at Grafham Water Centre sits in the Cambridgeshire countryside near Huntingdon. Set on the banks of Grafham Water Reservoir, the location has some lovely views for downtime as well as being a great base for sports-mad groups who can spend heaps of time on outdoor activities and water-based antics.
Down-to-earth facilities include an outdoor kitchen and washing-up facilities, with heated toilet and shower provision available in the sports hall, a short walk from the bell tents (the pathway is lit up at night). On request, you can store valuables in lockers at the sports hall, and there is plenty of parking available on site (good news for anyone bringing along a car packed with sports kit…).
Activities available on site include ropes courses, a public mountain bike track, lakeside walks and climbing courses on floating inflatables. When you’re in need of relaxation, there’s a pub within five minutes’ walk of the tent village.
