We live not far from there, there is a country park right across from the site great for dogs (we walk ours there almost every Sunday) bikes and runners! The main pathways are pushchair friendly too.

There is also Hardwick Hall just up the road and you are not too far from the peak district,

Hi I am fairly local and have used this site a few times - it is 5* accommodation indeed! As hoppity has said, there is a country park literally across the road which is great for cycling, ball games and walks (I think the site does not allow ball games, and I had some problems with my 12 year nephew struggling to comply with that during our stay...!). Hardwick hall has various parts to it; there is the "New Hall" which is very complete and a classic Tudor stately home with lots of tapestries and furniture and a nice garden. When I have gone with kids I have found they prefer the "Old Hall", a burned out shell that is much more spooky and fun to run around in.

Like all good CCC sites they have lots of tourist information available so you can also find out about things like quad biking in Notts near Thorsbey hall, and other child friendly activities in the central Notts/N Derbyshire area.

If your family like swimming there is an excellent pool in Mansfield, called the Water Meadows, with wave-effect machine etc in the main pool, chutes/slides, toddler pool etc and very good fun for all ages. There is a multiscreen cinema too (if the weather is bad and you need some indoor entertainment).

You won't be bored, I am sure!

There's the McArthur Glen shopping outlet just by J28 of the M1.
If you want to go a little further afield, Meadowhall is only 45 minutes up the M1 at junction 34.

We have been to Teversal 3 times now, and it is great for walking.  We have the dog with us, and spend most days either walking on the Teversal Trails or in Brierley Forest.  As other people have said the Carnarvon Arms is very good food, and they let dogs in the Beer Garden round the back.

You will enjoy it, it is a fab site and location.  If you google 'Teversal Trails' you will get all the walks from the website.  The 'Lady Spencer' walk is very good, although about 10 miles, and includes walking through the grounds of Hardwick Hall which we have done with the dog no problem.
