A Flintshire caravan park has been nominated for a prize in the Best Place to Stay category of the National Tourism Awards for Wales.
Tree Tops has won many awards in recent years, including 18 consecutive first place gongs in the Wales In Bloom contest and special commendations from the David Bellamy Gold Awards.
It is a family-run business that has been operated by the Walkers since its inception in the 1960s, the Flintshire Chronicle reported.
“Maintaining our high standards requires a lot of commitment and hard work so recognition for this would mean a lot to us,” general manager Andrew Walker told the newspaper.
He added that it would be particularly special to win the award in the firm’s 50th year, noting that the park is up against some stiff competition.
The Visit Wales contest has seen 53 companies shortlisted after more than 400 applied and Tree Tops stands a real chance of victory.
In other news, the Welsh town of Prestatyn has been attracting walkers by the thousand, thanks to local initiatives to encourage the hobby.
