Commons Wood Caravan Club Site

Members only site backing onto beautiful woodlands
Easy access to London
Access to several surrounding beautiful parks

As the name suggests, Commons Wood Caravan Club Site backs onto delightful woodlands and is within reach of several beautiful parks. For those who fancy some excitement and limitless shopping options, the caravan park is only 20 minutes away from central London by a fast and frequent train service into King's Cross. Easy access to the city makes the site an ideal base to visit any of London's popular exhibitions held at sites such as Olympia or Kew Gardens. Commons Wood Caravan Club Site offers a wealth of options to keep everyone in the family happy. The lovely Stanborough Park is only about 2 miles away with a playground and crazy golf as well as a gorgeous lake where you can try your hand at boating and fishing. Reed Marsh Reserve - which is incorporated within Stanborough Park- is an ideal spot for bird watching. You can also explore several National Trust properties within the local area. The closest town to the caravan site is Welwyn Garden City, built soon after the First World War as part of the Ebenezer Howard's Garden City movement and one of the finest examples of modern town planning. Its rich history is evident in such artefacts as a Roman Bath preserved in a steel vault under the nearby A1.
