Super Signage at Riverside Holiday Village

October 4, 2023

Riverside Holiday Village has successfully completed its first challenge for the David Bellamy Blooming Marvellous Pledge for Nature

With endless summer nights ahead, more of us are finding the time to get out and about into the countryside to enjoy the many sights and sounds of our native wildlife. Here at Riverside Holiday Village, we appreciate that our picturesque location is one of the many reasons that so many visitors choose to come here, and the longer evenings provide the perfect opportunity to explore the River Axe, which flows through our park. 


Visitors may remember that we recently announced our decision to take the David Bellamy Blooming Marvellous Pledge for Nature, and we are proud to say that we have successfully completed our first challenge! 


Group Manager (David Tattersall) and Marketing Executive (Kim Boyd) have worked closely on Super Signage, a challenge aimed at providing environmental information and interpretation to help everyone enjoy the wildlife on our park.

 

If you venture along the river to our fishing pond, you will find four new information boards, each researched and designed by David and Kim, to provide interesting information and fun facts about the different creatures that rely on this unique ecosystem for their survival.


The signs have been manufactured by a local sign maker using sustainably sourced oak timber posts. 


As we undertake further challenges, we aim to add more Super Signage to different locations on the park, to help even more visitors to engage with our native wildlife.


We look forward to updating you all on our progress!

We are delighted to share that Riverside Holiday Village has been named the Holiday Park of the Year and Dog Friendly Business of the Year at the Bristol, Bath and Somerset Tourism Awards 2026, held at T he Apex City of Bath Hotel in Somerset. These award categories recognise holiday parks, sites and villages that provide exceptional guest experiences across static vans, touring pitches and more with a wide range of facilities and entertainment, and providers of truly memorable experiences for dogs and their human companions. This year marks the second consecutive year that Riverside has won the coveted Holiday Park of the Year Gold Award. Nell Barrington, awards director at Services for Tourism Ltd, commented on the importance of the awards: “What I love most about these awards is that they give tourism businesses the recognition they deserve. So many of them work incredibly hard, often with little reward, and some are tiny teams or even just one person keeping everything going. Despite the challenges the sector continues to face, these businesses have shown excellence, innovation and resilience.” We would like to thank our visitors, supporters and all of our fantastic team for your support.
