The Old Vicarage offers a relaxed and tranquil atmosphere for your stay for camping. We have BBQ's, camp fires to hire and have the shallow river to play in. Free Wifi. Well behaved dogs allowed on leads at all times. Riverside site in grounds of a 17th-century house in Nottinghamshire Close to Sherwood Forest and 25 miles from Nottingham Cave bar on site open on Bank Holidays You'll sense the history all around you at The Old Vicarage, from the old house to the remains of the water mill in the river bed. Stays here are in the grounds of a 17th-century house in the village of Elkesley, six miles from Worksop and 25 miles from Nottingham. Its grounds run down to the banks of the Poulter river, and are lined with stands of acacia, sycamore, ash and oak trees which were originally donated to the first vicar by the Duke of Newcastle in the 1830s. There's plenty of space around the site for traditional outdoor activities, with a rope swing and stepping stones over the shallow river and a bridge that's perfect for playing Pooh Sticks. In the surrounding area there are animal parks and nature reserves to walk around, or to head back further in time, you could take one of the trails through ancient Sherwood Forest, around quarter of an hour's drive away. Guest facilities on site centre around the Cave Bar, a cool little space built into an exposure of 500-million-year-old sandstone, plus an outdoor terrace for sipping drinks out in the sunshine. Other amenities include a washing-up area and bathrooms with plentiful hot showers, toilets and baby changing facilities.

Glamping near Cambridge guide

Overview

Trade the lively streets of Cambridge for the serenity of nature at luxury glamping accommodations outside the city. Drive less than two hours east to Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to relish in stunning coastlines and rolling heathlands with a hike or cycle on the Suffolk Coast Path. Glampers can rent a pet-friendly camping pod near the AONB with double beds, wifi, and convenient access to the sandy beach to take advantage of warm summer days. Thetford Forest, a 45-minute drive from Cambridge, delivers incredible hiking trails around Lynford Stag and Santon Downham that lead to outdoor sculptures and art installations. Some campsites within the park offer log cabin rentals as well as stables for equestrian campers. Glamping trips may also take you to the nearby town of Lakenheath to see Lakenheath Fen—a former carrot field that’s now a wetland nature reserve—for bell tents featuring private bathrooms, heated showers, and flush toilets, as well as access to a fully equipped outdoor kitchen area and a wood-fire hot tub.
