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.

Dog-friendly caravan parks near Hayling Island guide

Overview

Jutting out into the Solent, the body of water separating the big Southern England port of Portsmouth from the Isle of Wight, Hayling Island represents something of an outdoor escape from the city. Sandwiched between Langstone and Chichester harbours, there is a seaside resort feel to the beach on Hayling’s south coast, with holiday villages, a seaside railway, and top-notch watersports (British windsurfing purportedly began in this very spot). A ferry pulls in holidaymakers from Portsmouth, many of whom use a scattering of campsites in the centre of the island one to three miles back from the south coast.

Where to go

Hayling Bay

Hayling Island is roughly hammerhead-shaped, and the hammerhead itself forms Hayling Island Beach, a broad, grass-backed edge of sand along the bay. A promenade, amusements, beach huts, a seaside railway, a pitch and putt, and a golf course feature among the attractions—not to mention some of the best watersports on the south coast of England. A nature reserve sits at the east, while the west end sports gorgeous dunes. The closest you’ll get to camping is in a static caravan park; the island campsites are a few miles north.

Fleet & Around

The village of Fleet on Hayling Island is the place for camping, with a trio of campsites. There is also delightful, easy coastal walking along the Shipwrights Way via the sand flats of the island’s west coast and out to the dunes clustered close to where the ferry from Portsmouth arrives. The campsites are all situated within just a few miles of sandy Hayling Island Beach and its watersports.

West & East Wittering

West Wittering and East Wittering await east across Chichester Harbour from Hayling Island, on a bulbous peninsula southwest of Chichester in West Sussex. These large and popular coastal villages sport the region’s best selection of campsites. A big band of sandy beach begins at West Wittering and runs southeast past East Wittering along Bracklesham Bay, one of the UK’s best locales for learning to surf in relative shelter.

South Downs National Park

Hayling Island camping is also convenient for discovering South Downs National Park, the boundary of which is only five miles north of the island at Rowland’s Castle. The popular South Downs are an 87-mile-long chain of grassy, chalky downland, where the South Downs Way traverses the range east to west. The Harting Downs area is a beautiful spot to begin explorations, and camping can be found just north near Elsted.
