Greenlife Motorhome Park

If you’re looking to get out for a stroll, there are plenty of places to do just that, starting with a public footpath on the edge of the site that leads over to miles of pathways through the surrounding countryside. There’s also the option of taking a waterside walk by the Chesterfield Canal, which is half a mile away and runs through to Retford, with a couple of handily placed pubs along the way. For other nature-inspired walks nearby, try Idle Valley Nature Reserve (10 minutes’ drive – or you can walk or bike there along a path) or head to the bigger spaces of Sherwood Forest (half an hour’s drive) or the National Trust’s Clumber Park (20 minutes). Fishing, meanwhile, is only about 500 metres away at Hayton Lakes. Looking a little further afield, there’s a sobering bit of the past to explore at the National Holocaust Centre and Museum (25 minutes) and a fascinating bit of prehistory at Creswell Crags (half an hour) – or aviation fans can book ahead to visit The Vulcan Experience (half an hour).
