Caravan owners in Derbyshire are set to get a revamped site in their local area, after the Camping and Caravanning Club acquired Alton, The Star Club Site in Cotton.

This move was welcomed by Viscountess Cobham, chairman of national tourist board VisitEngland, who said that it would provide a boost for the local area.

The site boasts 195 pitches across two fields, as well as a large play area, ideal for families with small children, who can also explore the nearby Alton Towers theme park resort, which is just a five-minute drive away.

Lady Cobham, who officially opened the site last week (June 10th), said: “I am sure that Alton, The Star Club Site will be a great addition to The Camping and Caravanning Club’s network and for tourism within the area.”

She added that over half of all camping and caravanning site operators reported an increase in visitor figures this Easter, when compared with last year.
