Victory Park View Lodge

Concealed high above the River Tamar with its wooded valleys and unspoilt estuary, Tamar View Holiday Park perches itself right at the heart of this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The Tamar Valley, already a World Heritage site due to it’s steep Mining Industrial past, was awarded its (AONB) status in 1996 because of it’s richness in beauty and history, possessing some of the finest examples of British Countryside, and because of its importance as a haven for wildlife such as Avocets, little Egrets, Kingfishers and River Otters.

Dubbed the ‘Undiscovered Valley,’ due to its unimposing position in this otherwise crowded holiday destination, you would not quite believe this remarkable valley is situated just half an hour from the golden sands of Cornwall’s south coast beaches. Discover the less swamped shores of Whitsand bay, Tregantle, Downderry, Seaton and dare to explore your own hidden coves along this under-rated and dazzling stretch of Cornish coastline.

If the surrounding area was anything to go by, the Park itself will certainly not disappoint, positioned in a tranquil and peaceful setting high up amongst domestic farmland, wild meadow borders and overlooking 12+ mile views across the ever-changing and dramatic lowlands of the valley. If getting away from it all was your intention, this quiet countryside location offers an idyllic base, lacking in both amusements and entertainment venues, there is nothing to detract from taking in the surroundings whilst dining alfresco from your balcony, or taking in the clear night skies from the luxury of your own bubbling hot tub.

If this is your first time visiting the area of your 8th time, there are always exciting new discoveries to be made, explore the wild and unspoilt Dartmoor landscape nearby, the vast river valleys making up the Tamar Valley or the tropical South coast stretching from Rame head to Looe Island.. we’ve listed a few of our personal favourite locations below;
