Discover Chilterns & Hertfordshire
Wooded hills, chalk scenery and market towns make the Chilterns and neighbouring Hertfordshire a countryside alternative to a coastal break. You can mix short walks, local history and a separate family attraction day without heading into central London.
Choose a town or walking area as the day’s anchor. The wider guide spans several counties, so check the exact park address and attraction location rather than assuming every outing starts beside the hills.

A breath of fresh air

A town-and-woodland afternoon
Give a smaller town and nearby signed route time rather than adding another distant attraction. The Chilterns reward unhurried visits between the headline viewpoints.

There’s more around the corner
Oxford & the Cotswolds
Oxford’s university streets and the Cotswolds’ stone villages offer distinct inland holiday days. Museums, market towns and signed countryside routes create a varied break without needing every outing to centre on a major admission attraction.

London
London can be a rewarding day trip or short-break focus from a caravan base outside the centre. Major museums, riverside walks and neighbourhood food give you far more choices than can sensibly fit into a single sightseeing circuit.

Windsor & Surrey
Royal heritage around Windsor and a mixture of parkland, gardens and countryside across Surrey offer varied days away from the coast. Choose a historic-town outing, a family attraction or a quieter estate walk to shape your own break.

Good to know before you go
Planning your visit
The Chilterns cross county boundaries, while Hertfordshire includes places outside the designated landscape. Caravan results are wider county-area matches; check individual locations and access carefully.
Official visitor information (opens in a new tab)Access, opening & seasonal changes
