Stowford Manor Farm Campsite

51 units · Glamping, Motorhomes, Tents25 acres · Trowbridge, England

We are a family run farm situated in the beautiful Frome valley. The farm has a range of interests from the traditional Jersey milking cows to a community of workshops used by local craftsmen. The cafe serves cream teas from Easter to the end of September and pizzas are sold in evenings during the summer months. Ours is a small family run camp site with the River Frome on one side, next to the medieval buildings of Stowford Farm. The river is suitable for fishing, boating, swimming and paddling. Historic Bradford-on-Avon is only a 5 minute drive and the City of Bath 15 minutes. For those who enjoy more rural pleasures, 200 metres from the campsite Farleigh Hungerford boasts the only river swimming club in the country, and you can become an instant member for a very small fee.

Baldwins Brook Glamping

6 units · Glamping, Motorhomes3 acres · England

Small dog-friendly site on the banks of the river Severn Adjacent to the Severn Way and half an hour’s walk from the canal Wildlife haven within walking distance of pubs and Frampton on Severn Craving a peaceful time filled with wildlife watching, long walks and relaxing by the water? On the banks of the River Severn, Baldwin’s Brook Glamping in Gloucestershire fits the bill. This small site is a wildlife haven adjacent to the Severn Way, a long-distance trail which traces the river downstream. Birdwatching prospects are excellent here, and there’s plenty of peace if you’d rather sit and relax by a firepit or check out the stunning views and sunsets. The site is part of a working family farm with lots of livestock. From the farm, it’s a 45-minute walk to Frampton on Severn, which is home to the longest village green in England and the lively Frampton Country Fair (think funfair… and 400 stalls full of good stuff). Baldwin’s Brook Glamping is also half an hour’s walk away from the Cotswold Canal Trust Visitor Centre by The Gloucester and Sharpness Canal if you’d like to grab a spot on a boat trip or sip a coffee by the canal. When you'd rather have a chilled beer, two pubs are within half a mile of the site (only 10 minutes’ walk away). Strike up a conversation with a local about the next Severn Bore, the huge tidal wave which races for 25 miles from Awre to Gloucester down the estuary just a handful of times per year.

Riverside glamping in Burnham Beeches guide

Overview

Between London and the Chiltern Hills, in leafy Buckinghamshire, this small, wildlife-rich Site of Special Scientific Interest is celebrated for its centuries-old beech and oak trees and for its starring role in films such as Harry Potter. Wander along woodland-fringed paths to a Bronze Age hill fort, stop for a local-produce picnic or join one of the regular guided walks. Campsites overlooking the gurgling Thames, bell tents on organic farms and glamping lodges in the Chilterns are among the temptations for overnighting adventurers.

Where to go

Chiltern Hills AONB

Head 30 minutes northwest from Burnham Beeches and you’ll stumble across the rolling farms, chalky hills and delightful villages of the Chiltern Hills AONB. This 830-sq-km natural beauty meanders across Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire, with red kites swooping high above. For activity lovers, it’s a region best explored on foot or two wheels. Hipcampers can pitch up at family-friendly farms, settle into glamping safari-style tents amid dense forests, get cosy in river-view lodges and more.

Windsor & the Thames Valley

From thousand-year-old Windsor Castle to elegant riverside Kingston and Henry VIII’s Hampton Court, the green-clad Thames Valley hosts some of southern England’s most fascinating sights. Also here are wonderful outdoor-adventure opportunities, including rowing, kayaking, boating and hiking, along with perfectly scenic water-view campsites—all within an hour’s drive of Burnham Beeches.

North Wessex Downs AONB

Meandering across Berkshire, Hampshire, Oxfordshire and Wiltshire, this is England’s third-largest AONB—a 1700-sq-km world of silent woodlands, buzzing market towns, chalk hills and sprawling heaths. Long-distance cycling, hiking and horse-riding trails deliver you to cosy-at-home pubs, with highlights including the historic Ridgeway path and the 145-km White Horse Trail. Pitch your tent anywhere from a pet-friendly farm to a canalside towpath.

South Downs

If tackling one of southeast England’s most storied long-distance trails is your bag, make a beeline for the 160-km-long South Downs Way, which traverses the 1627-sq-km South Downs National Park all the way from Eastbourne to Winchester. Plunging chalk cliffs, roaming sheep, undulating green hills and timeworn villages make this one of the most rewarding natural spaces in the south, with tempting camping spots everywhere from beachside plots to hidden-away farms.
