Sperrin Brewey

The Sperrin Brewery sits just outside Coventry in Leicestershire, and if you're camping or caravanning at one of the local parks - Nightingales Rustic Camping is closest at just over three miles away - it's worth a stop if you enjoy proper craft beer. This is a working brewery where you can see how they actually make the stuff, not just buy it off a shelf. They've got a small taproom on site, so you can taste their range before committing to a bottle or two. The visit tends to take an hour or so, depending on how chatty the staff are feeling and whether you decide to linger over a pint. Free to walk around the brewery itself, though you'll obviously be expected to buy something if you're sampling. Best on a weekday afternoon when it's quieter - weekends can get a bit rammed with groups. It's genuinely useful as a half-day activity if the weather turns poor during your caravan holiday and you fancy something indoors. The Coventry location makes it accessible from any of the nearby parks, though you'll need transport to get there. Not life-changing, but a decent diversion if beer's your thing. If you're staying at Hollyfast or Lime Tree for longer, it breaks up the routine nicely without requiring a big day out.
