- Description
- Situated in a quiet unspoilt location, on the outskirts of the old market town of Tuxford, Orchard Park is just one and a half miles away from the main A1 trunk road, making it an excellent overnight stop, or base for visiting the many attractions around Sherwood Forest. Orchard Park is a mature fruit orchard set in the quiet Nottinghamshire countryside. A lovely setting for a Caravan and Camping site, it has been carefully planned to retain the orchard as it has been for many years. The caravan pitches have been laid out to give our visitors as much natural privacy as possible. A quiet area at the top the orchard has been left to grow naturally for some years now, with careful management, it is a pleasant nature walk, with wild flowers, birds and butterflies. For the children there is lots of room around the site to run and play as well as a log play trail style palyground.
- Other facilities
- The facilities at Orchard Park have been designed with great care to provide our visitors with many modern day caravanning and camping facilities, whilst retaining as much of the old fruit orchard as possible. The facilities include : electrical hook up points (for all pitches), several water taps and a specially designed spacious centrally heated amenities block with free showers, free hair dryers, 24 hour hot water and a separate disabled shower room.Also a well equipped laundry room and a separate vegetable preparation area. There is also a site telephone, separate games field and dog walks. Calor Gas, Dairy Products, Ice Cream and general day to day needs are available at reception.
- Tourist Attractions
- Mansfield (15 miles)- At the heart of "Robin Hood Country", this bustling modern town boasts one of the largest open-air markets in the country. Entertainment ranges from the sub-tropical fun pool at Water Meadows Swimming Complex to the Multiplex cinema or shows at the Palace Theatre.
Newark -(13 miles) A maze of narrow old-fashioned streets, the towering spire of one of England's largest parish churches, and a cobbled square lined with Georgian buildings are amongst the sights of Newark. The town was a Royalist stronghold during the English civil war, and the ruined castle by the river still bears the scars of battles past. Newark's speciality is antiques. There are numerous dealers in town and the famous Newark International Antiques Fair is held at the nearby showground six times a year.
Nottingham -(28 miles) Think of Nottingham and chances are, you will think of Robin Hood - the world's most famous outlaw. But, there is much more to Nottingham than Robin Hood! Often described as one of the country's 'best kept secrets', Nottingham is proud of its historical heritage but it is also fast developing a reputation as an exciting, vibrant, go-ahead European city of style.
We are sure you won't be disappointed and we hope you will be encouraged to visit and receive the warmest of welcomes here in Nottingham.
Retford -(8 miles) Handsome Georgian buildings and open air markets in the square add character to this north Nottinghamshire town, deep in "Pilgrim Fathers Country". To the south west lie the parks and forest of The Dukeries.
Southwell -(15 miles) This charming rural town has many elegant Georgian buildings and historic pubs, but its undisputed centrepiece is Southwell Minster. With its honey coloured stonework and unusual twin towers, the 12th century cathedral is one of the architectural gems of the Midlands.
Inside, visitors can admire "the leaves of Southwell", a series of fine medieval stonecarvings, and ponder over the mysterious "Green Men" faces hidden amongst the carved foliage.
Also visit 'The Workhouse' a superb National Trust refurbishment of the original workhouse.
Worksop -(15 miles) This busy little town in the north of the county is a local centre for shopping and entertainment, but what most visitors come to see is the splendid Norman Priory church, complete with ornate 14th century gatehouse.Visit 'Mr Shaw's House' National Trust - Directions
