We are sandwiched between the 312 square miles of the Forest of Bowland (moorland) to the east and the 120 square miles of Morecambe Bay (the largest expanse of intertidal mudflats and sand in the UK) to the west. Northward beyond these (30-40 mins drive) are two huge national parks, the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District.
The historic city of Lancaster lies a couple of miles north of our site and its highly reputable university is a mile and a half east of us. For a ferry from Heysham to the Isle of Man it's a 10 mile trip.
We have four lawned pitches and one hardstanding, all with EHU (10A). There are open views of the surrounding fields and a public footpath is 40m from the entrance and traverses fields leading to lanes and the canals. The Stork is less than half a mile away or it's an easy walk (about 1 mile) to The Mill at Conder Green which sits on the Glasson branch of the Lancaster canal or pick up the award winning Bay Cycle Way which is 80 miles of relatively flat riding around the spectacular Morecambe Bay from Glasson Dock to Barrow and don't forget to visit The Smokehouse tucked away next to the dock at Glasson, for a fantastic range of smoked seafood, meat, preserves, biscuits etc. Just half a mile up the road there's Ashton Hall Garden Centre and cafe (breakfast until 11am!) and the Ashton Hall Golf Club.
Southward by 4 miles there’s Wallings Ice Cream Parlour (for homemade ice cream) or a little further (7 miles), there’s the excellent Barn at Scorton.
The historic city of Lancaster is 10 minutes drive from the site and has a large range of shops, cafes and museums. There’s also the Priory (stalls date from 1340!) and castle (cafe and tours available). Whilst in town, visit Atkinson's Coffee Roasters, est. 1837, and not much has changed! Or the Judges’ Lodgings (built 1625, Grade I listed), or the delightful Williamson Park (54 acres) with its Ashton Memorial, butterfly house and cafe. There are 2 local Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Forest of Bowland to the east and northward, Arnside and Silverdale AONB with its spectacular sunsets across the bay, country walks and RSPB Leighton Moss.
The M6 J33 allows easy transport north into the Lake District and beyond or south to Manchester.
For dog walkers, please note, a public footpath can be picked up off the road 50m south of the drive.

Very Nice Site
Herons Wood
We chose this site because of a family member’s recommendation and we were not disappointed.
Has everything you are likely to need and close to the city but country setting.
A little road noise but not disturbing, nicely cut grass with nothing to take inside the caravan.
The owner was very pleasant and helpful where required but not intrusive we would definitely go again when in area

Very nice site
Herons Wood
Nice, quiet site with good views.
Close to Lancaster, and the coast. Good area for walking and cycling.
A very enjoyable week with plenty to do ‘locally’ without the need to drive very far.
Nice site
Herons Wood
Good tidy sie. Easy for getting to loads of places. A little difficult taking dogs for walk straight from site because of traffic. Mainly in the morning
Excellent stay
Herons Wood
Stayed here for 3 nights with a motorhome on the hardstanding pitch. The site was very easy to find and being able to flag down the hourly bus at the gate was a big plus. Its an easy walk to the Stork Inn via public footpaths or quicker by the road if you don't mind there being no footpath. Despite rain and strong winds we managed long interesting walks.
A lovely site and we will certainly return to explore more of the area.
Peaceful Getaway
Herons Wood
