If the thought of a peaceful hol with excellent access to town amenities is trickling through your mind, make your idea a reality with a stint amid the trees and grassland fields of Running Waters Holiday Park.

This secluded adults-only site may feel like it’s deep in the countryside, but it’s just a 10-minute walk from New Romney’s pubs, bars and restaurants, and is a smart choice if being close to the coast is key; some of Kent’s finest stretches of seaside, including the gorgeous Greatstone beach, are within five minutes’ drive.

After indulging in days by the English Channel, meander along one of the multiple footpaths leading from the site or dawdle down the Dungeness National Nature Reserve’s trail (10 minutes), a wildfowl-filled conservation area set on a shingle spit.

Relaxing is of course on the agenda while touring outside the park, but the grounds are also a pretty place for a rest in spacious greenery. The site’s a simple sort of spot yet has the amenities you need for a happy holiday, including separate ladies and gents' toilets, a shower block, washing-up facilities with cold water and a chemical disposal unit.

Barbecues are allowed (when raised off the ground), so grub can be grilled for dinner when you’re not eating out in New Romney. Open fires aren't permitted, however, for the safety of all on site.
