Holiday developer interested in 300 acres

A LUCRATIVE European-style woodland holiday campus could be developed in the midlands after a major player in the industry revealed it is scouting for a 300-acre site.

Center Parcs UK, which specialises in activity holiday packages in forests, said it considers a move across the Irish Sea as the most logical way to expand.

Company chief executive, Martin Dalby, told The Times of London after opening its fifth British holiday village in 2010 it hopes to focus on acquiring a site here.
