Glamping in Blackdown Hills AONB

·

Glamping in the Blackdown Hills AONB puts you right in the thick of wildflower meadows, ancient woodlands, and rolling, sheep-dotted fields. With over 300 glamping choices here, you’ll find bell tents, safari lodges, and yurts with hot-tubs or wood-burners, some for as little as £15 a night, though the average is around £110. Top spots like Brig's Farm (66 reviews), Charisworth Farm (48 reviews), and Southover Woods and Camping (47 reviews) get high marks for their setting and hospitality. Many sites welcome pets and let you build a campfire. After a day swimming in hidden streams, hacking out on horseback, or heading south for a surfing session, you’ll come back to a proper bed and a steaming outdoor bath. Facilities are often spotless, and rubbish bins are easy to find, so you can focus on the essentials: food cooking over flames, and the sound of owls after dark. No need to rough it here—just pack warm socks and a torch.

Churchill, England · 9 units · Tents, Glamping
Off the beaten track on top of the Mendips in an area of outstanding natural beauty. A mixture of four acres of wild woodland, orchard and field set on a hillside. Our Yurt is set up in the trees giving you peaceful seclusion and a clear view across the sea to Wales and the mountains of the Brecon Beacons. The Yurt is big and sleeps up to four very comfortably. It has its own stove and outside is a washroom just for you with hot shower , toilet and sinks. Your own meadow allows you to just relax and be. Up on the campfield you can bring your own tent or hire a Belle tent from us with all the fittings to camp contentedly. Our new Wash House has hot showers, flushing toilets and basins. You can light a fire and cook up a BBQ or maybe just watch the world go by. A huge range of activities are possible or you can lie in the hammock with a good book. We have very friendly dogs and rescue chickens who may come and visit. Wild deer wander past in the early morning mist and the odd buzzard picks an argument with a bunch of crows but nothing much else should disturb you. We moved here after an 18 month search 11 years ago. It was close to everything we wanted and we've spent some time getting a bit closer.
