Hi all,

where are the best sites to avoid fireworks? My dog gets very stressed and the season for fireworks seems to get longer each year. I have been told that National Parks do not allow fireworks. Do any members have suggestions for sites to book to avoid fireworks?
How about Dulverton? Any others?

    In the main you need to be looking at the rural sites but before booking check with the site. Not sure where you are looking but if you can post that it would be easier for others to help.

    We were at Englethwaite Hall during Halloween and didn't hear any, and suspect that it was the same for Bonfire Night. What part of the country had you on mind, Neat?

    Neat5 you'll find that Dulverton does have fireworks so that one's out I'm afraid.

    Hi again. I am based in Berkshire, so would be looking for sites 2 to 3 hours from there. this would include south west and south east England, South Wales and the Midlands.

    Two things for you. I was at Dulverton three weeks ago. There was a private fire work party in town somewhere and it was loud. So 1 Dulverton obviously does not come under national park rules. And 2 fireworks can occur anywhere around any time of year.

    Hi all

    Oh Neat5 - I feel for you and your lovely dog. I hope you find a quiet spot. My advice would be to call the sites ahead and check for any local firework displays. As harryb says they can crop up anywhere thesedays and I know that can be distressing for pets.
    Hopefully we are out of the main firework season now and you can enjoy a quiet getaway. Don't forget the CLs if you want to be really rural.

    Happy travels.

    Helen
