Golden Cap Holiday Park is one of the most beautifully situated parks on the south coast of England. Nestled in a quiet valley alongside the River Winniford, this welcoming park sits just 150 metres from Seatown Beach and is surrounded by 2,000 acres of National Trust land on the world-famous Jurassic Coast. If you're looking to own a holiday lodge or static caravan in a truly scenic corner of Dorset, Golden Cap is a setting that's hard to match.

Life at Golden Cap

Owning a holiday home at Golden Cap means stepping straight into one of Dorset's most cherished landscapes. The South West Coast Path runs directly past the park entrance, making it effortless to head out on foot and explore the coastline at your own pace. For those feeling adventurous, the walk to the summit of Golden Cap itself rewards you with some of the most breathtaking views on the south coast – at the highest point on England's southern coastline, the panorama across Lyme Bay is quite something.

Day-to-day life on the park is well catered for. An on-site SPAR convenience store covers your holiday essentials, while the Golden Cap Pizzeria – new for 2026 – serves freshly made-to-order pizzas, sandwiches, salads and drinks. It's the ideal treat after a day on the coast, whether you take your food down to the beach or relax back at your holiday home. There's also a fishing lake, a children's outdoor play area, a dog exercising meadow, a 3.7 mile nature trail climbing Golden Cap itself and a scenic picnic area with sea views. Practical facilities include laundry, Wi-Fi, electric vehicle charging points and washing up sinks. The park also takes its green credentials seriously, with bug hotels on-park, to support local wildlife habitats.

Exploring the Local Area

The park's location puts you within easy reach of some of the best of Dorset and the wider West Country. Three village pubs are within walking distance, perfect for an evening meal or a pint after a coastal walk. The charming market town of Bridport is just a short drive away, offering independent shops, artisan markets and a relaxed café culture. Further afield, Lyme Regis is popular for fossil hunting along its famous shores, whilst Charmouth beach is another favourite for those with an interest in the Jurassic coastline's geological heritage.

Families will find plenty to keep everyone entertained, with well-known Dorset attractions including Corfe Castle, Monkey World and The Tank Museum all within reach. The beaches at Weymouth and the iconic Durdle Door are also worth the short journey along the coast.
