  • Peaceful adults-only Somerset site 800 metres from Chew Valley Lake
  • Bath, Wells, Bristol and Cheddar Gorge within a half-hour drive
  • On the edge of Bishop Sutton, a short walk from the pub and shop
Now this is a lovely spot for a quiet break in the Somerset countryside. Bath Chew Valley Caravan Park is a fabulously peaceful adults-only site based on a garden theme – think carefully maintained lawns, shrubs and flower beds wherever you look. And the wider surroundings are just as lovely – the site is just at the top of the Mendip Hills National Landscape and 800 metres from Chew Valley Lake, a championship fly fishing lake that also has walking trails and bird hides for wildlife watchers. The area offers up plenty of options for walks, bike rides and other outdoor activities, or you could use the site as a base for outings to places like Bath, Wells, Bristol and Cheddar Gorge. The quiet and scenic setting is a real draw here – but so is the fact that the site is just on the edge of the village of Bishop Sutton, allowing you to walk to the pub or village shop in less than 10 minutes. Barbecues are permitted on site, so you may like to pick up supplies for some outdoor cooking while you’re in the village. Back at base, you’ll be staying at an award-winning site where you’ll have access to top-quality facilities including a utility room (with laundry and washing-up facilities) and a smart bathroom block that’s heated in winter and has accessible amenities. A car is available to hire from reception for motorhome users who’d like to explore without moving their van, and local bus services stop close by in the village.
