An Old Fashioned Holiday in a Romany or Gypsy Caravan

Indulge your childhood fantasies about running away with the gypsies by staying in an original Romany wagon or 'Vardo'.

A horsedrawn caravan is sometimes called a Romany Caravan. This kind of caravan has been used since about 1840 by Irish people living a nomadic lifestyle.

As old-fashioned holidays become more popular, and holiday makers want to experience history and take a break from the 21 century, Romany Caravanning holidays have become a sort after holiday experience.

There are two types of Romany Caravan holidays, their is the holiday where the caravan is static set up in an idyllic place, usually a field with great views. Or there is a touring holiday, complete with horse. If you do choose the touring option, you do need to be able to take care of the horse. This is not usually a big problem as the horses are very friendly and docile.

On you Romany Caravan holiday you need to be away that space is very limited in the Romany Caravan, so you may wish to 'test' out the experience with a short break before embarking on a longer trip.

Romany Caravan holidays make for wonderful holidays and its little wonder - the colourful hand painted caravans are enchanting, the trip is filled with nostalgia and it transports you to a by gone age where the summers were longer and the pace of live was slower, and you went wherever the road took you. And now we are offered that same wonderful experience to enjoy life on the road in a hand painted Romany Caravan.
