A note from the site themselves...

We are very proud winners of the Professor David Bellamy Gold Conservation Award. This is only granted to parks which have demonstrated a sound commitment to the natural world.

It is described as the "Green Olympics" - and goes only to parks which help protect and enhance the natural environment. We are particularly proud that his decision to make this award was based partly on the opinions of our holidaymakers. It was their comments about our park which helped to convince Professor Bellamy that Old Barn Touring was deserving of this conservation honour.

We hope you get to join us soon and see all our amazing efforts for yourself, Emma
