Riverside Holiday Village Wins Green Tourism ‘Silver’ Award

August 1, 2023

Our popular Riverside Holiday Village is thrilled to have been awarded a Green Tourism ‘Silver’ Award

Located in the stunning Somerset countryside, Riverside Holiday Village has been awarded silver in the Green Tourism certification programme, which recognises the commitment of tourism businesses (like ourselves) who are actively working to become more sustainable. 


Our business is reliant on visitors coming to enjoy the stunning Somerset countryside and we have worked hard to adopt an ethical, responsible and sustainable culture within our organisation. We take our environmental responsibilities seriously and it’s fantastic to have had all of our hard work recognised with this award.


Several of the park’s initiatives were highlighted including; excellent examples of how to put across our green story and projects, a strong commitment to promoting and facilitating sustainable travel options for visitors, great examples of best practice reflecting our commitment to lowering our carbon output and an outstanding knowledge of the local area and how to enjoy it responsibly. The use of signage explaining to guests the nature that can be found in and around the park was also described as ‘excellent’!


Congratulations to our amazing team, we appreciate all of your support!

Providing a clean and attractive destination for our visitors to enjoy not only benefits our business, it also positively impacts our local community and the wider environment. Which is why we have committed to join Surfers Against Sewage Million Mile Clean . Now the biggest initiative of its kind in the UK, the Million Mile Clean is an annual event, mobilising 1,000,000 million volunteers to clean over 10,000,000 miles of UK landscape between 2021 - 2030. It’s reported that more than 2 million pieces of litter are dropped in the UK every day at a cost of £1 billion to the taxpayer. So, we are asking visitors and the local community to get pro-active and join us at Riverside Holiday Village near Weston-super-Mare on Thursday 24th April from 11.00am - 1.00pm for an organised 2 mile ‘litter pick’ along Bridgwater Road (Hospital Roundabout - Hobbs Boat Inn). ‘Clean Kits’ will be provided; we’re just asking for 2 hours of your time to help clean up this public space.
