'Just returned home from a fantastic 10 days at The Old Oaks. The site is the best we have stayed on. Pitches being very large. The personal hygiene facility was second to none, incredibly clean.'

Things to do in Glastonbury & Somerset
Glastonbury and the surrounding areas are full of activities and areas of outstanding beauty for guests at The Old Oaks. See this short video for just a few ideas:

For those who enjoy walking, the caravan park and campsite is surrounded by an extensive network of footpaths, the most popular being to the famous Glastonbury Tor (¾ mile) and to the town of Glastonbury itself (1½ miles from the site), but if you're a keen walker there are many more to choose from.
The Old Oaks Touring Caravan Park is also an ideal base for cycling. Some excellent cycle routes, many quiet country lanes and the natural beauty of the Somerset Levels make the area perfect for exploring by bike. If you don't have room to bring your own, bikes are available to hire from reception for only £9 per day. To see more beautiful images of the Somerset Levels click here and here.
Westhay Moor Nature Reserve and Shapwick Heath are a must for anyone that enjoys the outdoors and are just a short bike ride away. These beautiful wetland reserves have been created from old peat workings and now provide a habitat for all sorts of wildlife. In the winter months there are spectacular displays of Starlings in flight. There is also a healthy population of the much loved otter, and numerous species of birds and other mammals.
