Lonely Planet has chosen Friesland as number three of the ten ‘Best in Europe’ places to visit in 2018.

Landal GreenParks to open its fourth holiday park in Great Britain on 20 July 2018. Landal Sandybrook is located near the market town of Ashbourne in a spectacular nature reserve to the south of the Peak District National Park and between Manchester and Birmingham. The opening of the new park will raise the international profile of Landal GreenParks. Great Britain is one of the nine European countries in which the holiday provider operates.

Landal GreenParks was a major sponsor of the latest nature film made by Ruben Smit Productions. Entitled WAD; overleven op de grens van water en land (WAD: Surviving Where Water Meets Land), the film will premiere in Leeuwarden, European Capital of Culture 2018, in October this year. It is an ode to the natural environment both above and below the water in and around the Wadden Sea. Ruben Smit has spent his whole life exploring this very special area, which is typified by mudflats, tidal trenches and islands. Over recent years he was granted permission to film in many unique spots.
