As the leaves turn copper and the air takes on a crisp, fresh edge, there’s something truly magical about countryside living at Bank Farm Holiday Park. This November, while our owners enjoy peace and quiet at the park, the local area bursts into seasonal splendour, perfect for owners looking to explore the best of the Severn Valley and Wyre Forest region.

Here are some of our favourite ways to embrace the season locally, whether you’re enjoying your holiday home or simply appreciating the tranquil surroundings of our park.

Autumn Woodland Walks & Riverside Strolls

One of the joys of owning at Bank Farm is having nature so close at hand. For an adventure right on your doorstep, head into the Wyre Forest where the trails near our parks provide that immersive woodland feel that Bank Farm owners love. The mix of evergreen and deciduous hues, makes this time of year particularly special.

A short drive and walk from the park brings you to the beautiful Arley Arboretum & Gardens in Upper Arley. With over 300 species of trees and stunning woodland vistas, it’s an ideal place for a crisp November walk.

A Scenic Ride on the Heritage Railway

Running directly through the park grounds, the Severn Valley Railway: an atmospheric way to enjoy the countryside without moving boots on the ground. Whether you’re a train-enthusiast or simply looking for a relaxed outing, the route along the River Severn provides a perspective of the local area like no other.

A Wild Day Out: West Midland Safari Park

Just twenty minutes from Bank Farm, West Midland Safari Park in Bewdley is a favourite local attraction for many of our owners and their visiting families. Open through much of the year, the park offers a fascinating drive-through safari experience featuring elephants, rhinos, and big cats, all set within the stunning Worcestershire countryside. Beyond the safari itself, there are seasonal events, theme park and festive illuminations during the winter months. It’s a brilliant day out that blends adventure with appreciation for wildlife, and it’s right on our doorstep.

Life at Bank Farm Equestrian Centre

Of course, one of the most unique parts of owning a holiday home at Bank Farm is having Bank Farm Equestrian Centre right here within the park grounds. November is a wonderful time to enjoy countryside rides and lessons, whether you’re brushing up on your skills or simply enjoying a hack through the crisp air of the Wyre Forest. The centre welcomes riders of all abilities and offers a range of experiences. It’s a true reflection of our countryside lifestyle: active, outdoorsy, and connected to nature.

Why November Works for Owners at Bank Farm

As a private ownership park, November brings a slower rhythm: the park is quieter, the weather encourages cosy evenings, and the landscape offers a beautiful transition into winter. It’s the perfect time to enjoy your holiday home as a true retreat: walk, unwind, reflect, and plan for the season ahead.
