If you like the Cotswolds then Cirencester park is hard to beat. Great walks for husky, good transport links from the town centre, site is always well maintained.
If you want a good CL in the vicinity, Greenacres near Bibury is v good, short walk to bus stop on main road, short walk into village.
Moreton in Marsh is another with good bus routes from outside the gate, also good CL in town.
Tewksbury Abbey is a great little site where you can virtually jump into town from site it's that close.
Also, all sites are good for using mobility scooters, CL has short way on a quiet side road before meeting the main road and bus stop.......

For me I would choose north Norfolk or somerset/north Devon. for sites we have used brick kiln bungalow which is good for several NT houses and cromer/sherrinngham etc. plus have also used Seacroft CC site but there are lots of sites. for Somerset or
North Devon there are millions of sites but we stayed at North morte farm but again spoilt for choice...0 -
If you haven't been to Rookesbury Park, then what about that as a location. Portsmouth Historic Dockyard ( with ad hoc unscheduled fireworks
),
The Victorian Forts along the top of Portsdown hill, Portchester Castle where you could even do a freebie overnight in the car park. A cuppa and a bit of bread pudding in St Mary's tearooms in the Castle grounds. I might even walk down and say 'Hi'.0 -
...not a million miles away from CY's suggestion, how about the area around Chichester?
the city is vary nice and then 'chunk' of land southwards towards the Witterings and Chichester Harbour area is beautiful.
we were there recently and cant wait to go back.
we were checking out the 'posh' Concierge Camping for a change, but there is a handy CL just to the west of Chichester from where its a relatively easy stroll (or scooter ride...) into town.
good luck with the search.

I would agree with BT Cirencester Park is hard to beat and a relatively straightforward journey from Kent. Buses from Cirencester available to several places locally, such as Bibury, where parking is a problem, even with a car. It also has the advantage that it is not a site that tends to get booked up early, if you are considering the Easter Weekend.

If you're not tied to a CC site, how about North Wiltshire. Lots of interesting places to visit - Castle Combe, Corsham and Lacock have been used often for TV and film productions and it's an easy drive to the Park & Ride for Bath. Cotswold Water Park, Royal
Wootton Bassett and Swindon also close by. Also Avebury village with it's prehistoric stone circles and avenue (some say more impressive than Stonehenge) and Bradford on Avon.There's Plough Lane caravan park at Chippenham or Piccadilly near Lacock or a CL (basic but has HS, EHU and a toilet) called Thatado Farm near RWB.
A very underrated part of the country.

Despite living in this area for 25 years, it took us getting the MH to discover Golden Cap on the Jurassic Coast.
We've used the actual West Dorset Leisure Golden Cap site at Seatown, http://goldencapholidaypark.co.uk for Easter a couple of times.
Fantastic walks along the coast. There is a NT house with a Cafe that is rather good en route toward Bridport on the cliff top walk. May not be open Easter Monday, as other places includng some pubs due to Council roolz.
The TV show Broadchurch was filmed in the area.
Lovely market in Bridport. The fish & chip huts in West Bay are worth a try.
There are other sites and lots of CL's in the area.

Easter is middle of April next year HD, weather of course will be a lottery, but if you want to see some truly fabulous scenery, lambs, daffodils, steam trains, castles, big houses and great shopping, with good food and good beer, then consider Yorkshire,
and in particular North Yorks Moors. Once you have cleared London, then head up A1, which is not too bad a route. You could make your first stop York if you can get a pitch, have a look around this truly historic city, then another half hour down the A64,
and you are up onto the moors. Club has a couple of sites, but there are some really nice small private ones, with nice facilities and a great price. Pickering is a good stop, you can use NYM railway to have a day in Whitby, not far from Scarborough, and there
are plenty of big NT houses around. The main moorland roads are fine for Motorhomes, so picnics by the river, watching steam trains hooting along are easy! Lots of museums, quaint independent shops, and likely to be lots of events on all over at Easter!Dales are lovely as well, bit further for you.

Sure you will have a nice time, we are up there tomorrow for a few days.
We had a lovely Easter break on North Norfolk coast a couple of years ago, not as far for you. Nice beaches, lovely villages. We were not keen on Club Sites though, always use CLs/CS's.

Why not venture a bit further along the Jurassic coast and head for Sidmouth and the Exe estuary at Exmouth. East Devon has plenty to offer. Sidmouth is nice and level for access, interesting shops, nice park and promenade. The donkey sanctuary nearby is
a favourite with many. Exmouth has easy access too, a good long sea front and boat trips. Have a day in Exeter, the cathedral is worth exploring, find the astronomical clock and one of the oldest cat flaps in the UK.

Suffolk & Norfolk are likely to be the driest area during the spring. Plenty of places to visit, both along the coast and inland too. All the Broads to visit as well as plenty of N/T & other historic properties.

Good choice HD. Make sure you spare time for a visit to the Donkey Sanctuary (dogs most welcome and some lovely walks from there (where you can park free!) particularly along to Salcombe Regis with a lovely church tucked away in the valley and, in the other
direction to Branscombe (obviously with a stop at The Mason's Arms for refreshment!)
