The Caravan Club has suggested that families looking for somewhere to take the kids this August bank holiday head to Bristol.
One of the attractions which might excite children is the chance to spot 60 gorillas, which have been hidden across the city as part of the Wow! Gorillas art exhibition.
The initiative is to help mark the 175th anniversary of Bristol Zoo Gardens – another great attraction for caravanners holidaying in the area.
According to the Caravan Club, Brunel’s SS Great Britain is also a great day out, with the ship being moored at Bristol Dock.
It is hosting a special foodie fun event over the bank holiday weekend, with guests being able to look at the vessel’s new galley – which features an animatronic ship’s cat to keep the rats away from the grub – and even meet Mr Brunel himself.
The Victorian ship lets visitors step back in time and experience life aboard the world’s first great ocean liner.
Caravan owners looking for a convenient place to stay near Bristol can choose from two certified Caravan Club sites – Baltic Wharf Caravan Club Site and Bath Chew Valley Caravan Park.
