  • Family-friendly countryside park with fishery and reindeer
  • A 20-minute drive from Worcester; 25 minutes from Great Malvern
  • Seven fishing lakes; café on site for breakfast or lunch; pubs nearby
Picnics with local meats, cheeses and artisan breads? Reindeer, alpacas, goats, chickens and pigs Thelma and Louise as neighbours? Day trips to Worcester and the Malvern Hills? Tick, tick and tick? Then head to The Cob House Countryside Park, a family-run site in rural Worcestershire with a fishery, countryside park, café and resident animals such as reindeer. Pick up a traditional breakfast from the site’s fully licensed café-restaurant The Mayfly and then sort a picnic from the local meats, cheeses and artisan breads that are available in The Cob Shop. Once well-fed, you should be quite ready to take on the number of walking routes that start directly from The Cob House or the hilly climbs and mountain biking trails in the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, half an hour’s drive away. If you’re around during the daytime, there are home-cooked lunches, cakes and afternoon teas available at the café. That's particularly handy if you're getting stuck into your fishing activities… that’s right, the site also has seven coarse fishing lakes (bring your own equipment and try your luck with some rather large carp). The Cob House Countryside Park runs events throughout the year, such as kids’ fun days, fishing lessons, model boat sailing (every Sunday), car boot sales, racing pigeon release, dog shows and fundraising days. As for essential facilities, the site also has a modern toilet and shower block. What about your day trips? Worcester is the closest city 20 minutes’ drive away and has the River Severn, Worcester Cathedral and heaps of interesting shops. Great Malvern, 25 minutes’ drive away, is a characterful town at the foot of the Malvern Hills too. For evening meals, there are several pubs within five minutes' drive of the site.

What customers say

Clean, tidy park with top staff & scenery. Kids love the animals, playground & live music. Café & fishing are big hits. Some folks found phone signal dodgy & showers a bit hit-and-miss with hot water.

Liked We’ve just come back from our 3rd visit now, 2nd with my parents who are not seasoned campers but they love it as much as we do. We have always found the site staff to be helpful and friendly, the breakfast in the cafe is lovely and we just find the site very peaceful.

The animals are great and the kids love going to get some feed to give to them. A couple of hours sat on the smaller lakes fishing is very relaxing.

Close (drive) to pub/shops so you’re never too far from anything you might need. Lovely meal in the Masons Arms down the road.

Liked Touring field located in separate area near the toilet block, gravel pitches reasonably level, animals onsite very friendly and we spent a lot of time in this area of the park. Large playing field where ball games ect can be played without disturbing anyone else. Cafe onsite although a bit on the pricy side. Good quality play area for the younger children.

Disliked Unfortunately pitches especially in the center are not defined, maybe hedges or fencing would ensure some privacy. Groups of children running about and kicking balls (which did hit our van) as the parent's preferred to continue drinking instead of taking their kids to the very good play area, I am aware it was school holidays, however our kids were not allowed to play round the vans and I don't expect to be bothered by other people's children. Also no discount for residents on the fishing lakes, day tickets very expensive

Liked Playground and animals helped keep the children entertained. Live music on the Saturday Evening was also a bonus. Toilets and shower block was clean.

Disliked Pitches are very close together. It became very busy over the weekend and felt like everyone was on top of each other.

Liked Farm park

Disliked We arrived late (pre arranged) and were put on a pitch, went off for the day and arrived back and the pitch we were on was occupied, was a shame as the families in the middle (where we were relocated) were noisy until 11pm and a group of children kicked a bottle into our van late at night. May not be the sites fault (although could do with being wardened to encourage people to be quiet) it left a negative feel. Also went for a shower at 5pm and the three cubicles were thick with mud, by the morning these had been cleaned :)

Liked Site was very clean. Toilet block and showers were maintained regularly.
Staff in the cob house restaurant were friendly (and we found the food to be very good)
Play area and animals were all well kept
Free WiFi in the cafe
Lots of lovely walks from the site

Disliked Unfortunately we were disappointed with our pitch (#8) we felt the pitches at the top end of the first row were very close together which made it tricky hitching up!

I’d recommend requesting a pitch on the far side of the ponds unless you are fortunate enough to get a pond view.

No wifi available on the touring pitch

Local attractions

Kicking things off with a good stroll? Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (half an hour’s drive) has options like a town trail, the Teme Valley path, Worcestershire Beacon and the British Camp trek. The Knapp And Papermill Nature Reserve (20 minutes) is not so strenuous, especially if you stop to sniff the wildflowers. It might be that you’re after something that’ll evoke the old times, and English composer Elgar's birthplace The Firs (10 minutes) should get any creative juices flowing. Witley Court and Gardens (15 minutes), a grand manor house, and Brockhampton (20 minutes), an ancient estate, make good spots for a picnic among historic surroundings. If you’re after some lively scenes, Worcester (20 minutes) has a cathedral, museum and a busy high street. There are events and shows year round at the Three Counties Showground (half an hour). Great Malvern (25 minutes) is a characterful spot too, with walks into the hills from the railway station, plus a town trail and regular farmers’ markets.
