A Lancashire caravan park is celebrating after being awarded a Silver Gilt in the North West in Bloom competition.

Wyre Parks’ Claylands Caravan Park was recognised for its fantastic floral displays and landscaping in the awards presented by Radio Lancashire’s Stephen Lower, the Garstang Courier reported.

The award follows a string of gongs recognising the impressive work of the caravan park on the banks of the River Wyre, which has been run by Fred and Margaret Robinson for over 50 years.

Over the years, the four-star Camping and Caravanning UK park has picked up two David Bellamy Conservation Gold Awards and was awarded Caravan Holiday Park of the Year by Northwest Tourism in 1998.

The Foxhouses Holiday Home Park which is also operated by Wyre Parks picked up the same award at the ceremony, which was held last week.

The company’s Andrew Brewer told the local newspaper: “The management and staff were delighted to hear of our success and with quality standards at caravan and holiday home parks increasing steadily, we are thrilled that our hard work has been recognised.”

The awards demonstrate that the parks are continually improving and striving to maintain the highest standards for visitors to the area, he added.
