Fen Farm Caravan Park |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Fen Farm Caravan and Camping Site is ideal for people looking for a quiet family retreat. It is situated by the sea and close to a country park in a small village on Mersea Island . There are 85 fully serviced static owner occupied caravans on the park, as well as tourers, tents or motor caravans. There are 50 electricity hook up points available on the site. Hot water is available at all times and there are no extra charges for the use of toilets and showers. There are special toilet and shower facilities for people with disabilities, and within this facility there is a baby-changing unit. It is an ideal place to stay for people with an interest in wildlife as Cudmore Grove Country Park is very close by and the renowned Fingeringhoe Wick nature reserve is just 6 miles away. Abberton Reservoir with its abundance of water birds is also well worth the 10 minute drive.
The first tents were pitched in 1923, so the park
has grown rather then been developed.
Nearly all the static holiday homes have a view of
the sea and there are trees and bushes all over the park, giving a very rural
atmosphere.
Some of the holiday home owners have created
gardens around their caravans, and some owners choose to have a fence around
their caravans.
The "Dog & Pheasant" is open all day and serves
excellent food. The village shop and post office is about 1.5 miles away,
where there is also a thriving "pick your own" fruit, vegetable and flower
farm.
On the same site is a tea room serving lunches and
teas daily with an evening bistro at weekends. The small town of West Mersea
is about 5 miles away, with its famous sailing regatta in August, and
Colchester the oldest recorded town in Britain is within 10 miles.
