Ocean View
Discover Ocean View, an intimate 11-acre park nestled along the picturesque Welsh coastline just outside the charming university town of Aberystwyth. Our immaculate grounds boast meticulously landscaped gardens, adorned with vibrant shrubs and flowers that complement the natural beauty of Clarach Bay. While there are other parks in the area, we guarantee peace, quiet, and breathtaking views year-round. Our spacious pitches feature well-lit tarmacadam roads, strategically designed to maximize your enjoyment of the coastal and countryside vistas.
Beachside Caravan Park
For those seeking an unparalleled coastal experience, Beachside offers the perfect location right by the sea, complete with a private beach entrance. Say goodbye to parking worries and say hello to superb sea views enjoyed by all our static home owners. The lush, manicured lawns are adorned with colorful hydrangea shrubs, creating an idyllic holiday home setting.
Location – Clarach Bay
Located just north of Aberystwyth, our parks are easily accessible from the A487. A short walk from the park leads you to the beach and Clarach Bay’s excellent facilities. The picturesque coastal path, with its sweeping views, runs through the bay from the seaside resort of Borth, climbing up to Constitution Hill before descending into Aberystwyth. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit the Camera Obscura at the summit, along with a charming summerhouse tea room offering some of Britain’s most stunning views.
Clarach Bay’s sandy and shale beach is surrounded by steep cliffs, home to a variety of seabirds. It provides a safe swimming environment with numerous intriguing rock pools for young explorers. The unforgettable evening sunsets bathe the sky and sea in a mesmerizing glow, a perfect way to end the summer days. A convenient seafront location offers a supermarket, restaurant, take-away food, and a cozy spot for drinks.
