Caravanners planning their next trip abroad may be considering a holiday in Belgium, as the country is a popular destination among UK tourists. According to a spokeswoman for ABTA – The Travel Association, easy accessibility is one of Belgium’s biggest draws, alongside its food and culture.
Indeed, caravan owners can take their mobile homes on the ferry directly to the ports of Ostend and Zeebrugge, from Ramsgate and Hull in the UK.
“There are several cities in Belgium which provide major attractions to the UK market,” the representative explained.
“Bruges, Gwent and Brussels are really the top ones. There are many museums. In Bruges there is the Basilica of the Holy Blood.”
Belgium is also home to numerous caravan sites and holiday parks where families can pitch up their tourers.
The Caravan Club owns the Klein Strand site close to the ancient city of Bruges, which boasts facilities such as a swimming lake, a bar, two restaurants and a children’s play area.
