The Caravan Club’s Bloom Award for 2013 has been presented to Baltic Wharf caravan park in Bristol.

Baltic Wharf is an impressive 55-pitch caravan site that is conveniently connected to a river ferry that takes visitors into the city centre.

This gives you the freedom to not only enjoy the idyllic nature of the park but to also venture into the bright lights of the city.

In addition to this, families also have the chance to visit the child-friendly Zoo and Downs Park, which makes for a wonderful picnic area.

The Bloom awards were first started in 2003 by the club member, Alan Payne with the purpose of appreciating the skill and hard work of Caravan Club site wardens, who along with various volunteers, maintain the beauty of the Caravan Club sites in various creative ways.

They are also the people, who work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that you feel welcome and enjoy your stay at their caravan parks.

Club chairman Grenville Chamberlain presented the award to the park’s wardens, Mike and Lyn Stirling.

Commenting on the couples’ admirable achievement, the chairman praised their “most stunning displays of plants and flowers to greet visitors, using tastefully themed bursts of colours throughout the site.”

Also coming very close to the awards and right behind Baltic Wharf, were the Ayr Craigie Gardens in Scotland and the Wyatts Covert site near Denham, in Buckinghamshire.
