Suitable For

Nearby

For 2020 and 2021 we recommend pre-booking places that you want to visit such as farms, gardens and pubs.

There are so many things to do and enjoy around Chipping Campden and North Gloucestershire. The scenery and landscape, the small market towns and pretty villages. We have National Trust properties, gardens, arboretums, castles and a palace all within the Cotswolds.

One place to visit for a great day out is Adam Henson's (of BBC Countryfile fame)  Cotswold Farm Park. Take a tractor safari around the farm, see the rare breeds and feed the lambs/kids. A little bit further afield near Burford is the Cotswold Wildlife Park with giraffes, rhinos, hippos and other animals. Both attractions are great for families.

For many, simply exploring the pretty Cotswold villages is the main attraction. Easy but pleasant footpaths link most villages together. The small market town of Chipping Campden is just a 15 minute walk from our glamping site. It has plenty of English pubs, independent shops, tearooms, bistros, galleries and a museum. The main Church – St. James – is a wool church and is famed for having one of the oldest altar tapestries (pre-Reformation) and largest brass works in England. Campden's high street is famously pretty but unusual – long, broad and flanked on each side by an almost unbroken single terrace of varied architectural styles. You can read more is our blog. Broadway, Stow-on-the-Wold and Bourton-on-the-Water are a short drive away, as well as Stratford-upon-Avon and Oxford, a little further.

Food & Drink

Our glamping site is  well equipped for self-catering (and campsite cooking). All you need from pots, pans, colanders, graters, chopping boards etc are all here. You can also buy homemade jams, marmalades & chutneys.  Seasonal produce (when available) including tomatoes, plums and apples. Breakfast hampers stuffed with farmshop goodies can be pre-ordered.

In Chipping Campden there are a number of tea-rooms, 7 pubs/hotels and restaurants. (Please pre-book tables). These include The Eight Bells, The Lygon and The Noel Arms who host award-winning curry nights. Great cakes and light lunches can be enjoyed at The Bantam tea-rooms, Campden Coffee Company and The Badgers. Chipping Campden also offers shops including the Co-Op, One Stop and a meat/fish and greengrocers along with 2 delicatessens.  Chinese and Indian take-aways available too. Both local farm shops sell local produce and have cafes.

We host regular Pizza Parties on site for our guests. We provide homemade dough and sauce - you just bring your toppings of choice. These are great fun, interactive and tasty! Just let Jane know in advance/upon arrival if you would like to have a pizza party during your stay,
