Saltmarshe Castle Caravan Park

This is land known for its spectacular landscapes as well as its ancient towns and cities, like Hereford, Worcester, Gloucester and Leominster. To the west lies the Borders region of Wales, famed for its black and white villages; sticking to Herefordshire, the 40-mile Black and White Village Trail is doable by car or bike. Saltmarshe Castle Caravan Park's local town of Bromyard is also a historically good spot, for its half-timbered buildings (including several pubs, huzzah) and a parish church built in Norman times. A large archive, a library and an exhibition room are open three days a week in the centre run by the knowledgeable sorts at Bromyard & District Local History Society. Wildlife watching and walks are at the nearby Knapp and Papermill Nature Reserve and among the 123 woodland acres of Queenswood Country Park and Arboretum, while more of the same plus mountain bike trails, horse riding and a Go Ape are north of Kidderminster at the Wyre Forest.
