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.

Overview

Camping and glamping in Weston-super-Mare

Weston-super-Mare probably ranks as Somerset's best-known seaside resort. With donkey rides on the beach, adventure golf, amusements and ice creams the town offers the opportunity for good old-fashioned British holiday fun. Whether it's the family-friendly attractions, the salty-air and sea or the retro appeal that's tempting you there, camping and glamping offer great ways to stay in this part of the south-west. Pitch up near Weston-super-Mare and you can choose between days spent on the sands and days sightseeing further afield in Somerset. Weston (as it's known locally) is well-located in the north of Somerset if you want to visit Wookey Hole, Cheddar Gorge, Glastonbury, Wells or Bristol, during your holiday here. With the rural landscapes of the Mendip Hills and Somerset Levels inland, there are plenty of camping and glamping sites near Weston-super-Mare that have caught the attention of our travel experts from classic campsites to glamping sites with yurts, shepherd's huts and bell tents on offer.

Things to do in Weston-super-Mare

It's no surprise that most of the sights and attractions in Weston-super-Mare are clustered around the coast. Spend a day, or a week, on the beach during your Weston-super-Mare camping holiday and you can ride a donkey on the sands, enjoy theme park rides on the pier, and build sandcastles on the beach. There's also a SeaQuarium, adventure golf and a 40-metre ferris wheel among the amusements of the seafront. You can discover the roots of the resort with a trip to the Weston Museum and see the Victorian architecture by strolling along the prom. For a wilder walk, head south of town to Brean Down where a 1.5-mile headland juts out in to the Bristol Channel offering spectacular views, birdwatching and a special habitat for wildlife.

Inland, it's around 20 miles to the underground attractions at Wookey Hole and Cheddar Gorge and not much further to England's smallest city, Wells, with its disproportionately large cathedral. Alternative and quirky Bristol has plenty of attractions if you fancy a day in the city during your camping and Glamping Holiday and is well within an hour's drive.

About

With its promenade, seaside hotels and Grand Peir, Wester-super-Mare (or just 'Western') in Somerset has a bucket-and-spade atmosphere but still very much keeps up with the times. Green spaces, National Trust sites and the nearby Mendip Hills, provide more outdoor fun for campers, with plenty of good campsites nearby.
