SIX TOP SITES FOR getting back to nature

1 Ballyness Caravan Park

Ballyness, in Co Antrim, Northern Ireland, is the ideal base for exploring the Giant's Causeway and the coastline. Onsite, three ponds are home to wildfowl, herons and other birdlife, grass areas have been set aside to encourage frogs, and there's a wooded wetland for wildlife. A well provides water for maintenance work and solar panels supply power. Street lighting is from LEDs placed low down to reduce the level of light pollution.

2 Trewan Hall

At Trewan Hall, the gardens and woodlands are home to a large variety of plants and trees, as well as owls and a wildflower meadow. The Cornish campsite is respectful of its agricultural heritage, with plant selection appropriate rather than ornamental, and careful woodland management. Use of green cleaning products, low-energy lighting and solar-powered heating all add to the site's eco-friendly credentials.
