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.

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.

The Ibberton Yurt Tucked away in the peaceful Dorset village of Ibberton, at the foot of Bulbarrow Hill, our traditional Mongolian yurt offers a private countryside escape within the grounds of The Ibberton. The yurt sleeps up to four guests and combines the character and simplicity of glamping with proper home comforts. Inside there is a double bed and two single beds, along with comfortable seating, Wi-Fi, a fridge and space to relax. Guests also have their own separate private shower room with walk-in shower and toilet. Outside, the yurt has its own deck and private garden area with a covered cookhouse, gas hob and BBQ facilities. The setting is particularly peaceful, with mature trees, a running stream and very little passing traffic. On clear nights, guests can lie in bed and look up through the yurt’s central crown at the stars. The Ibberton pub is only a short walk away, serving homemade seasonal food, local ales and Dorset cider. It gives guests the choice of cooking something simple outside or wandering over for lunch, dinner or a drink without needing to drive. The area is especially good for walkers and cyclists. Footpaths and quiet lanes begin almost from the door, while the Ibberton Millennium Path runs through the parish and is waymarked locally. Maps are available from The Ibberton. Bulbarrow Hill and Ibberton Hill are close by, with far-reaching views across the Blackmore Vale and surrounding Dorset countryside. The ancient Wessex Ridgeway also passes nearby. A popular local walk links Ibberton with Bulbarrow Hill, taking around two hours and covering roughly 6–7km, while longer routes can take guests through Woolland, Milton Abbas and the surrounding chalk downland. (Tess Of The Vale) For days out, guests can explore Sturminster Newton and the North Dorset Trailway, Sherborne and its Abbey, Shaftesbury and Gold Hill, Blandford Forum and Dorchester. The Jurassic Coast is also within reach for a full day out. Guest capacity Up to 4 guests.
