2 nights at Cuddfan - The Hiding Place

Thanks Mark for the lovely stay! The area is secluded and picturesque, which really gave us the feeling of living a nomadic life with just the basic amenities. A few tips for future visitors: Bring a hanging light or headlamp, as it gets very dark and there’s no lighting provided. There’s a gas stove and cooking area, but you’ll need to bring your own utensils. Pack warm duvets and thick jackets if you’re visiting in autumn, as nights can get very cold. 🚗 Important: Do not drive your car down to the tent. Park just after entering the gate and walk down instead. I missed the host’s message about this, got stuck trying to drive back up, and had to be rescued by a farmer with his tractor (thankfully the host responded quickly and was super helpful!). Despite that little adventure, I absolutely loved the stay and would highly recommend it if you’re looking for a unique experience without the hassle of putting up a tent yourself.

2 nights at Oakhill Ponds

Beautiful location, we loved staying in the Shepherds Hut. Loads of thought has been put into the space, lovely individual garden with seating, hammocks, so nice to eat outside in the sunshine & to be able to use the outdoor hot tub after a swim. The spa was fab & swimming in the pond was tonic for the soul. Amanda & Rob were great hosts, & they have definitely achieved what they have set out to do - provide people with an incredible place to slow down, appreciate nature & reset. Thank you

Weekend Trip to Cuddfan - The Hiding Place

Quiet and beautiful camp spot, perfect for hiking in the black mountains. One WARNING, there is a gas stove but no cooking equipment provided contrary to listing so plan ahead if you want to cook. Still great value and would recommend

Where to go

Savernake Forest

About a half-hour drive from Devizes is Savernake Forest, an ancient woodland that is a Special Site of Scientific Interest (SSSI) where towering oaks and serene trails offer an escape into nature. Campers can explore a network of pathways, such as Grand Avenue—a majestic tree-lined path through the heart of the forest. For a longer trek, take a hike on an unmarked trail past Big Belly Oak—one of the oldest oaks in the country. Stay on-site in year-round campsites that offer flat green pitches for tents and caravans and access to toilets, wash basins, and a shop.

Lacock Abbey

Twenty minutes northeast of Devizes is the village of Lacock, known for its charming streets and medieval buildings. After a leisurely stroll through the village's cobbled lanes, step into a realm of history at Lacock Abbey, which was founded in 1232. Explore the grand rooms and medieval cloisters that feature rare examples of medieval monastic architecture. Then see the areas where films like Harry Potter were made, and don't miss the captivating photographic museum. Stay at a nearby holiday park with hard-standing and grass pitches that offer electric hookups, showers, and chemical disposal. Or set up amongst alpacas in a private bell tent rental with double beds and log burners.

Kennet and Avon Canal

Explore Kennet and Avon Canal, which meanders right through Devizes. Take a leisurely walk along the towpath next to the historic waterway that stretches through picturesque countryside. Observe the working locks, canoe in the canal’s waters, go fishing, or take a boat trip out Devizes Wharf. Settle in for the night at a waterside campsite with tent and caravan pitches and amenities such as showers, toilets, electricity hookups, and direct access to the canal for boating and fishing.

When to go

Summers in Devizes offer comfortable temperatures, ranging from 20–25°C. Visits to historical sites and canal activities are ideal during this season. Spring and fall bring milder weather and vibrant landscapes, ideal for forest hikes and canal-side picnics. Winter unveils a quieter charm with temperatures ranging from 2–8°C. Look for campsites that offer electricity or glamping sites with log burners to stay warm.
