Village Green Holiday Park is a quiet and friendly place for all, but the relaxing countryside atmosphere doesn’t suggest a lack of fun. Whether its excitement or relaxation you’re looking for, we know of some great activities just around the corner.
1. North Pennines E-Bikes
To take in the outstanding beauty of the moorlands, there’s no better way to do it than on an e-bike. Highly recommended by locals and visitors, touring the Derwent Reservoir and visiting Blanchland on an e-bike is one of the most popular ways to spend time in and around Edmundbyers.

To hire an e-bike, visit the Old Village Shop in Edmundbyers or the Post Office in nearby Blanchland. Each e-bike hire includes a helmet, tyre pump, bike lock, charger, route map and a pannier to store it all.
