The caravan range includes two and three bedroom layouts sleeping up to eight people. Caravans generally provide a kitchen, living and dining space, bedrooms and a shower room, although the size, position and included features vary between accommodation grades. Selected caravans welcome dogs, while wheelchair accessible and extra wide choices are also available.

Coastal Walking Near Nodes Point

The shoreline around Nodes Point and St Helens Duver provides one of the most accessible local days out. Visitors can explore the beach, harbour edge, dunes and coastal woodland without travelling far from the park.

Some longer coastal routes depend on the state of the tide. Rocky shoreline sections can become difficult or unsafe as the tide rises, so walkers should check tide times and use inland alternatives where necessary. Paths through the woodland can also become muddy after wet weather.

Dogs are welcomed across St Helens Duver and on Nodes Point Beach, although they should be kept on a short lead around livestock and under close control elsewhere.
