Bell tents in Cannock Chase AONB

·

It might be the smallest Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in mainland England, but what Cannock Chase lacks in size it makes up for in idyllic English countryside. Think rolling meadows, wildlife-filled woodlands, and sweeping heathlands that bloom with purple heather through the summer months and blaze with fall foliage through autumn. Miles of public access trails afford plenty of options for hiking, and bikes, horses, and dogs are welcome, too. Camping is available throughout the AONB, whether you prefer a family-friendly caravan park, a tranquil country campground, or a glamping pod with views across the heath.

Disley Meadow

16. Disley Meadow

Stockport, England · 1 unit
Escape to a peaceful countryside retreat in our beautifully styled 5m premium bell tent, set within the tranquil meadowland of Disley Meadow on the edge of the Peak District National Park. Surrounded by panoramic countryside views and open skies, this is a place designed for slowing down, switching off, and reconnecting with nature in comfort. Inside, the tent blends rustic charm with boutique-style touches throughout. A cosy double futon is dressed with fresh linen, soft duvet and plump pillows, while layered rugs, textured throws, cushions and warm lighting create a calm, inviting atmosphere after a day exploring the hills and trails nearby. Step outside into your own private meadow setup and enjoy relaxed outdoor living at its best. There’s a fire pit for evenings under the stars, a picnic bench for outdoor dining, and a flatbed four-burner griddle perfect for slow breakfasts or sunset cooking. A rustic cool box and picnic set with crockery, cutlery and glassware are included, along with tea, coffee and a breakfast pack featuring bacon, sausages, eggs and fresh rustic bread for a laid-back countryside morning. The highlight of the premium experience is your own private off-grid bubble spa. Unlike a traditional wood-fired tub, this jacuzzi-style setup combines rapid propane heating with a high-flow aeration system to create deep, full-body bubbling immersion beneath open skies. Silently powered by an off-grid energy system, it delivers consistent warmth, powerful spa-style bubbles and a true outdoor wellness experience surrounded by nature. Guests also have access to private off-grid washing facilities, including the choice of a warm shower in a heated shower tent beside the bell tent or a refreshing cold-water shower in a rustic shower hut for a more invigorating outdoor experience. Toilet facilities include both a private cassette toilet option and a regularly serviced clean portable toilet nearby. One of the unique features of the meadow is our small herd of four friendly alpacas, often seen quietly grazing nearby and adding to the peaceful countryside atmosphere. You may occasionally notice trains passing along the nearby Manchester–Sheffield railway line, a reminder that despite the feeling of total escape, you remain conveniently connected.

Cannock Chase AONB camping guide

Where to go

North Cannock Chase

The wooded valleys of the Punch Bowl, Seven Springs, and Abraham’s Valley are ideal for exploring on foot, by bike, or on horseback, and there are more than 80 miles of bridleways to discover. Hike along the Cannock Chase Circular Walk to see Fairoak Pool and the Stepping Stones; visit the 17th-century stately home and gardens of Shugborough Hall, a National Trust property; then park your motorhome at a quiet family campground.

Central Cannock Chase

Rugeley sits on the eastern edge of the AONB, affording easy access to the hiking and horseback riding trails of Cannock Chase Forest. Nearby, Birches Valley Forest Centre is a hit with mountain bikers, as well as offering Segway rides and a Go Ape Treetop Adventure course, or you can escape the crowds to wander the heathlands of Sherbrook and Oldacre Valleys.

South Cannock Chase

Cannock and Hednesford are the gateways to the southernmost stretch of Cannock Chase AONB, which is dotted with historic sites. Dive into the region’s fascinating WWI history at the Museum of Cannock Chase, marvel at the Iron Age hill fort of Castle Ring, or head to Chasewater Country park to ride the Chasewater heritage railway and go kayaking or paddleboarding on the lake.
