The Shepherd's Hut at Coombe Farm Glamping is only an hour or so from London and within easy reach of Goodwood, Cowdray and the south coast; yet once you're here, you'll feel as if you've stepped through the back of the wardrobe and into the ancient woodland that surrounds, unimpeded views towards the South Downs and barely another soul around. The hut stands alone in the field, so you will exclusively enjoy the tranquility the land has to offer. The Hut is equipped with fresh linen and towels, made extra cozy and warm with a beautiful flame and clean burning bio ethanol burner which creates a relaxed ambience, providing amazing heat for the chillier season stay. The wash area is compact with everything you will need for alfresco catering and dining, including a great camp compressor fridge. We also provide equipment to cook on the ample fire pit for an authentic camp experience. We have a revitalizing, hot and spacious shower, all run from our off grid system. We also provide luxury toiletries. Our loo is composting, extremely clean and freshly set up for every new guest and in keeping with our off grid, low-fi ethos. Our family farm, Durleigh Marsh Farm is in Rogate, 5 min drive from Rake or about an hours walk through the woodland south from the hut. The popular Tea room offers a great breakfast and lunch menu. Booking is advisable. Between the nearby traditional market towns of Petersfield and Haslemere you will discover a diverse choice of places to shop, dine and drink. The site is encompassed by beautiful walks and trails taking you further into the heart of the South Downs.

Shepherd's huts near Milton Keynes guide

Where to go

Milton Keynes Countryside

Enclosed by lush valleys, forest reserves, and vast parkland, you don’t need to travel far outside of Milton Keynes to experience the Great British Outdoors. Hunker down by the tranquil lakes of Emberton Country Park, get back to camping basics at one of the nearby working farms, or experience classic British touring at one of the region’s holiday parks.

Aylesbury Vale

Reaching out from Milton Keynes towards Oxford in the west and the Chilterns in the south, this Buckinghamshire valley region is best known for its historic villages, sprawling fields, and secluded countryside campsites. Hipcampers with kids shouldn’t miss a day trip to Aylesbury, home of the Roald Dahl Children’s Gallery.

Oxford

Since you’re only an hour away by road, why not drop by the historic university city for a punt on the Isis and pint in a pretty beer garden? There are some good campsites just outside of town too, including glamping and farm camping, so perhaps you could be tempted to stay for another pint!

Chiltern Hills AONB

There are few sights more quintessentially English than that of the undulating Chilterns, and it’s a sight best soaked up on a walk, cycle, or horse ride along the many nature trails that stretch between the region’s royal mansions. Plus, the area is about 45 minutes away from Milton Keynes, Oxford, and London, making it a great stopover spot.

The Cotswolds AONB

One of Britain’s greatest outdoor attractions, the idyllic Cotswolds is made up of picturesque villages, historic landmarks, and miles and miles of unspoilt nature. About a 90-minute drive from Milton Keynes, the region is a great option for a weekend of biking, hiking, or just taking it easy far away from the city.

When to go

Spring and summer are the most popular times for camping here, though be aware that the Great British Weather cannot be foretold, so prepare for pouring rain in summer and bright sun (and rain) in winter. Don’t be put off by the wet weather—if you’re fine with a little mud, there’s a lot to be enjoyed about a Buckinghamshire winter, including stunning snow scatterings, hearty pub lunches, and quieter campsites.

Know before you go

  • Public transport is generally camper-friendly in the UK, but aim to travel with gear outside of peak hours.
  • If you’re on a tight schedule, it may be worth bringing or renting a vehicle.
  • Gear can sometimes be rented onsite, or you’ll usually be given top tips on where to find the best deals.
