Fishing at Riverside Holiday Village
June 17, 2021
The addition of a fishing lake at Riverside Holiday Village has been a huge success!
The addition of a purpose-built fishing lake at our family friendly holiday park near Weston-super-Mare
has proven to be a big hit with our visitors and the local wildlife alike!
The River Axe flows naturally through the park
on its way to the Bristol Channel, attracting a variety of local wildlife including ducks, Canadian geese, swans, herons, kingfishers, frogs and toads, rabbits, foxes and badgers. And the adjacent fishing lake provides the perfect place to enjoy an afternoon surrounded by beautiful countryside, whether you decide to partake in some fishing, to settle with a good book, or explore the nearby walking trails.
Our fishing lake
Generously stocked with roach, perch, chub, pike, carp and eels, our fishing lake is great for beginners, and the river provides the perfect opportunity for more experienced visitors to put their skills to the test!
In addition to our fishing lake, our holiday park offers plenty of facilities to keep visitors happy including an indoor heated swimming pool, adventure play area and lively clubhouse
with beer garden. And our self-catering static caravans
provide a comfortable base from which to enjoy a weekend fishing break.

Following our annual Mystery Guest visits by a professional inspector this April, each park has been re-assessed under a set of quality standards agreed between the AA and the UK Tourist Authorities. The inspection included an assessment of each parks; Location and Access Sustainability/Green Credentials Customer Care Cleanliness/Maintenance across the park Toilets (quality, cleanliness and maintenance) Other Site Facilities Pitches Grounds All three parks scored an impressive 91% overall (an increase on last year) - with Coombes and Rose Farm both achieving full marks for 'customer care' and Riverside’s impressive facilities and cleanliness/maintenance across the park bagging them the top score. Additionally, each park was again awarded a Gold Award, placing them amongst the best sites in their star category. When visiting Four Star Parks, customers can expect an extremely high standard in all areas, with well-maintained facilities, very good customer care and additional facilites compared to lower rated establishments. David Tattersall, Group Manager of West Country Park Homes: "Consistency is so important in our industry and we're extremely proud to have achieved this level of award by such a high-brand Assessor for the second year running. It just confirms that we are continuing to meet the high standards that our visitors expect and deserve."
On another sunny morning this April, volunteers from Riverside Holiday Village, Edithmead Leisure and Park Homes, Fairways Holiday Park and New House Farm headed out on our third 2-mile 'litter pick' along Bridgwater Road in Weston-super-Mare. We managed to collect 14 sacks of litter, plus several broken road signs and a damaged car tyre! As usual, energy drink cans were by far the biggest offender, closely followed by discarded alcohol bottles and fast food takeaway wrappers. We even found a discarded wet floor sign! All waste was collected by our waste management partner, MJ Church. Now the biggest initiative of its kind in the UK, the Million Mile Clean is an annual event, mobilising 1,000,000 million volunteers to clean over 10,000,000 miles of UK landscape between 2021 - 2030. We would like to say a massive 'thank you' to all of our volunteers - we're planning another 'clean' this September - please keep a lookout for more updates about future events!
Last year, 13 volunteers collected 23 sacks of litter over 4 miles as we completed two Million Mile Cleans. And this April, we're doing it all over again!
