Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Where is there a parkrun with caravan site nearby?

Cardiff park run is flat and fast. I've

never done it and never will but my cousin is approaching 500 park runs on this course and loves it. Often 800 plus participating. Enjoy Cardiff Dillthedog

Thanks Steve, have been for a bit of a recce round the park, make sure I know which way it is. Might be flat, but certainly won’t be fast for me :-)

I must add that the campsite is excellent, right near the centre of Cardiff, next to Sofia Gardens cricket ground, loads going on, no wonder it is always booked up.

I put this on the wrong thread first time, so apologies to anyone who has already seen it.

list of places we have stayed near parkruns. More details on request. We walked to most of the parkruns, I have indicated those with a short drive.

My very first parkrun was Conkers, about 1km along the canal from the Moira Furnace Folk Festival. But there is also the Conkers Camping and Caravanning Club (CCC) site and Conkers YHA even closer.

Delamere, from Delamere Forest CCC

Newport, from Tredegar House Country Park Caravan and Motorhome (CMC) site

Edinburgh, from Edinburgh CMC

Poolsbrook, from Poolsbrook Country Park CMC

Shrewsbury, from the West Midlands Showground campsite when we were at Shrewsbury Folk Festival (the campsite is open even when events are not taking place)

Kirkwall, from the Orkney Caravan Park.

Bressay, from Bressay Marina Caravan Park.

Rother Valley, Waleswood Caravan and Camping Park

Forfar Loch, right next to Forfar Lochside CMC. We haven't managed a parkrun yet, only a couple of Freedom Runs, the first time before it was a parkrun!

Vogrie, from Lauder CCC (drive)

Cirencester, from Cirencester CMC

Strathclyde Country Park CMC

Clumber Park CMC

Quaker's Walk, Devizes CCC (drive)

Whitley Bay, Old Hartley CMC (drive or bus). Also handy for Blyth Links - going back in May)

Crosby, Hidden Corner campsite, Maghull. (drive) Would also be convenient for Croxteth Hall (drive)

Rendlesham Forest, Sutton Hoo campsite (we were not there on a Saturday unfortunately)

Irchester Country Park, Treetops campsite in Sharnbrook (a strange little site, more details on request) (drive)

Talkin Tarn, Herding Hill campsite or Haltwhistle CCC (drive)

Jubilee, The Green Tree pub carpark, Spennymoor. No facilities when pub closed (drive)

Lanark Moor, New Lanark car park, £3 for 24 hours. No facilities once the Mill closes. (drive)

York, Manor Farm campsite. Across the road from the racecourse.

Also this one.
I pass this on the way to Marple parkrun.

springgardens11.com

It is about 15 minutes walk to the parkrun, along a track to avoid the main road. Or a few minutes to drive

There is a notice on the outside about motorhome overnight parking. I haven't stayed myself but some people on the Small Motorhome Forum liked it.

Beach View Holiday Park which has pitches for permanent and touring units is 0.5 miles along the coast from Sizewell parkrun.

Got something to say?
