General
- Quiet park with countryside and farmland setting
- Five minutes' drive from the nearest beach
- Access to two other holiday parks nearby
It’s jolly diverse, the British countryside. Take for example the quiet Graston Copse Holiday Park at Bridport, where there’s more habitat on the doorstep than visitors can shake a stick at.
You could sit in the shade in the leafiness of the park’s mature trees, amble around the surrounding farmland, go to spot water voles, kingfishers and woodpeckers steps away in the Dorset countryside, or drive to the beach just five minutes away.
There’s also the quintessential English village in the vicinity too: Burton Bradstock with its sixteenth and seventeenth century thatched cottages, beach café and the chance to spot local resident Billy Bragg.
The park has good basic amenities: washing-up area, free ice block freezing facilities and chemical disposal, as well as free showers and free hairdryers available, and a tourist information point with details on what to see and do in the area.
Guests can also pay to use the facilities at the two other West Dorset Leisure Holiday Parks nearby: there’s a large and well-stocked fishing lake at Golden Cap, or leisure options at Highlands End Holiday Park such as tennis, a gym and the all-important sauna and steam room for proper Dorset de-stressing.
Open from 27/04/2018 to 24/09/2018

Check availability at Graston Copse Holiday Park…
Many sites set a maximum occupancy of 6/8 people per pitch, so try breaking your booking down into smaller groups to generate more results. For example, if you’re a group of 10, enter 5 people in your initial search and then book 2 pitches.
However, where the pitch or accommodation occupancy allows it, you can make a booking for up to 30 adults and 30 children in one booking.
To book multiple pitches or accommodation, use the 'Special requests' box on the booking page to ask to be sited together. Complete the booking form for the first booking (you can add a password and save your card so that we remember your details). Then click "Make another booking like this" at the top of the confirmation page to make the next booking.
Large groups: check the listing page for any group restrictions set out in the terms and section titled ‘Please note’.
Large tents/caravans: check the restrictions on unit dimensions to ensure your unit is suitable for the space you will be provided with.

Local attractions
Marketeers should make a mosey around Bridport their first stop, where there’s been a market in the town since Queen Elizabeth (the first one) graciously granted permission. It’s now held on Wednesdays as well as Saturdays to give everyone the chance to bag fare from food to antiques. The Bridport Museum is also worth a stop, and, as shopping and sightseeing are thirsty work, a visit to sample the ale at the eighteenth century Palmers Brewery is highly recommended.
Bridport’s a gateway town for the World Heritage Site of the Jurassic Coast with enough to do to keep the whole family busy for weeks – there’s fossil hunting, crabbing, boat tours, sea fishing and watersports all around to try, or you could see the country from above and below with a spot of paragliding or scuba diving.
Beachwise there’s bags of choice within a short journey of Graston Copse: the small pebbly beach at Hive is a National Trust site – drop in while here to sample the seafood at the acclaimed Hive Beach Café. The village of Burton Bradstock is tucked at the westerly end of 18 mile long Chesil Beach, one of three major shingle structures in Britain (it’s said that smugglers in years gone by could tell exactly where they were on the beach even in the dead of night, just by the feel of the shingle).
For sandcastle making, sunbathing and more sightseeing, nearby West Bay also goes on for miles and includes several other top spots such as the Bridport and West Dorset Golf Club and the Riverside Restaurant, voted one of the best seafood restaurants in the country.
For West Dorset attractions, spare a thought for the inhabitants at Abbotsbury Swannery once you’ve taken a break from all that seafood – there are over 600 hungry beaks to hand-feed here as well as a children’s farm and award-winning gardens to look around.
Then take a wander around the seaside towns of Charmouth, Weymouth and Lyme Regis, go shopping in Beaminster or Sherborne, or become Caesar-like in Dorchester at the Maumbury Rings and Roman Amphitheatre.
