Kent Gliding Club Caravan Park sits at the Kent Gliding Centre's airfield in Challock, on top of the North Downs, a location the club has owned outright since 1963. On site you'll find a modern clubhouse, briefing room, bar, and caravan pitches alongside trailer parking, with visitors welcome to watch gliding from the clubhouse grounds. The club offers flight experiences and courses for anyone wanting to try gliding, plus guided tours of the facilities for those considering membership. The site is open every day from early April to late September. Nearby, you're within easy reach of Charing station and a trio of local museums, including Ashford Borough Museum and the Agricultural Museum, making this a peaceful countryside base with plenty to explore further afield.
