Park's cover-up reveals success story

One year after advising guests that they could no longer strip-off on arrival, a holiday park near Norwich in Norfolk is marking its first fully-clothed birthday.

A year ago, Merryhill Country Park was celebrated by naturists as one of the UK's most picturesque locations to enjoy their pastime.

In June 2015, however, its 30-year reputation for breaks in the buff came to an end when the park's new owners, Georgina and John Aisthorpe, took over.

Now the achievements of the couple have been recognised with awards for two of its key members from the British Holiday & Home Parks Association.

The park industry body's Exceptional Service Awards were made to Merryhill's groundsman Ian Boden, and to Georgina and John's 16-year-old son Jake.

Both had gone "far beyond the extra mile" in helping to make the park one of the finest in East Anglia for countryside connoisseurs.

Merryhill's 20 acres of parkland include wildlife-rich woodlands and plenty of open areas, which have benefitted from extensive landscaping.

For activity-minded guests there are two all-weather tennis courts, indoor games, a petanque court and a newly-installed children's adventure play area.

Also fresh on the scene is a sauna adjacent to the park's heated lido swimming pool.

Caravan holiday homes on the park can be used throughout the four seasons, thanks to Merryhill's 12-month opening licence.
