Eastnor Deer Park, nr Ledbury - 4th - 7th May 2012
Posted: Sat Nov 12, 2011 9:58 am
For the last 2 years I have met up with friends at this superb deer park campsite.
We are hoping to do the same again in 2012. We usually go sometime in May but nothing has been decided yet. I am looking for an expression of interest and once a weekend has been decided, I will post on here.
Would welcome more company, either as part of our group (small discount for a rally) or you can book individually (and it's still really cheap). See http://www.eastnorcastle.com/caravanning.aspx for more information. Or read on.
The Eastnor Deer Park overlooks the castle as well as the Malvern Hills and is a popular site for camping and caravanning during the summer months.
The park is a designated 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty' and a 'Site of Special Scientific Interest'.
For many years visitors have come to Eastnor to enjoy it's beauty, tranquillity and walk the picturesque Malvern Hills.

August is Purbeck weekend and I already have my discount advance ticket. For May I might be able to put the hellhound in kennels for the weekend, as her and deer are not the best idea.
