A couple whose goal it was to own their own caravan park have followed their dream to fruition and enjoyed their first successful season.
According to the North Devon Gazette, Ray and Carol Legg opened Hidden Valley in West Down with their son Andy after Mr Legg was forced to retire from the automotive electrical business due to health reasons.
He explained to the newspaper that it was always their dream to run a five-star site such as Hidden Valley.
“When we decided upon a change of direction, it was no surprise that we began to look at holiday parks, especially as we could include other members of the family and plan some kind of succession,” Mr Legg said.
He added that the couple did their research to ensure they were successful, taking more than three years to do so.
Clydesdale Bank partner Steve Tyers explained that the family have “already developed a very personal touch” at the site and that the park has a lot of potential.
In other news, the Crewe Chronicle recently revealed how travellers pitched up their caravans in a council car park in a protest over the lack of facilities in the area.
