Photos and words by Richard Moore

For my couple of nights in the area I stayed in a cabin at the Castlepoint Holiday Park, which is on the road into the sea-side village.

It has plenty of different styles of accommodation and there will be something to suit various depths of pocket.

The self-contained cabins offer remarkable ocean and lighthouse views and can accommodate up to four people. They are warm and very comfy, particularly as the wind started to build up on my last night there.

The interiors of the other units are clean and tidy and the camp facilities look pretty good.

Megan Hewitt runs the park with her husband Richard and says it is the perfect spot to come to for the weekend.

She says there is the beach, plenty of walks to do and if the weather turns bad you can just plonk in your unit and read a book.

Having finally got to experience why people talk excitedly of Castlepoint it is fair to say the delightful spot is right up there with terrific places to getaway to for a weekend.
