  • Park with a lake and woods in 160 acres of West Midlands countryside
  • A 10-minute drive from Birmingham’s NEC and 15 minutes from Coventry
  • Bar, restaurant and grill; fishing, pedalo boating and miniature golf
For hols by a lake, head to Heart of England Events Centre… with fishing and other activities to get stuck into over 160 acres of land in a stunning part of Warwickshire, this site has a splendid rural feel, yet is just 10 minutes’ drive from Birmingham’s NEC (National Exhibition Centre) and 15 minutes from the West Midlands city’s international airport. A bar and grill restaurant is open daily from noon for eats and drinks on site – serving everything from afternoon teas to steak dishes, as well as Sunday roasts referred to by the owners as ‘legendary’ – and organises plenty of activities… so, look forward to family-friendly pursuits like pirate ship rides, pedalo boating and games of nine-hole miniature golf (extra charges apply). You could also wander through woodland at this Warwickshire park or venture out into the surrounding area – the site is 15 minutes from Coventry and the National Motorcycle Museum, and 45 minutes from Cadbury World’s chocolate-themed tours for those of you with a sweet tooth. If you’re planning on heading further into the Birmingham city centre, it’ll only take you about 25 minutes.

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch

Liked: There are some good activities onsite. Including peddle boats and a little train that the kids loved, as well as a bouncy castle by the bar

Disliked: Not much! Toilets a bit run down but not too bad. It’s a great no nonsense campsite especially if you have young kids

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch

Liked: Location

Disliked: Pods and huts opposite where the tents pitched - whoever was staying in those were clearly a massive group who had booked and they were up until gone 7am drinking, blaring loud music and shouting. Daughter felt intimidated at 6 years of age when going to the loo in the morning as all the men old and young were all drunk and we had to walk through them to get to toilet block.

Local attractions

With the Bear Grylls Adventure at the Birmingham NEC (10 minutes’ drive), you'll soon get to brave new heights, whether it’s on the climbing walls, assault course or in the skydiving wind tunnel. At Planet Ice Solihull (25 minutes), you could don a pair of skates instead, and further towards the city centre, you can bounce your way over the obstacles at the Inflata Nation Inflatable Theme Park Birmingham. Those of you who are rather the history buff may want to visit the National Motorcycle Museum (15 minutes), the Coventry Transport Museum (20 minutes) or Royal Leamington Spa (40 minutes), a historic town with the splendid Jephson Gardens for peaceful lakeside strolls, an art gallery and museum, a library housed in an old spa complex and the lonely little Chesterton Windmill. If it’s more urban outings you’re after, Coventry (15 minutes) also has a go-karting track, air museum and nature reserve.
