The morning chorus drifts across open farmland here, where meadow grasses catch the early light and the air carries that distinctive mix of summer hay and coastal breeze. This is proper Dorset countryside camping, unhurried and uncomplicated.

Gundry's Farm Campsite welcomes tents, campervans and caravans to its rural setting, offering a straightforward escape for those who appreciate traditional camping without the bells and whistles. The site sits within easy reach of Dorset's patchwork landscape, where rolling hills meet ancient coastline and market towns nestle in river valleys. It's ideal for families seeking space to roam, couples craving countryside quiet, and anyone wanting to explore this corner of southwest England at their own pace.

The campfire policy requires checking on arrival, so there may be opportunity for evening flames depending on conditions. With facilities kept simple, this is camping that lets the landscape do the talking—a field, a farm, and the gentle rhythms of rural life providing all the entertainment you need.

Avon Valley Path

Follows the River Avon through 34 miles of Hampshire countryside, mixing flat riverside meadows with gentle climbs through ancient woodland and chalk downland. Mostly easy terrain with some muddy stretches after rain – fine for older children but not buggy-friendly due to stiles and gates. Dogs welcome throughout. Highlights include Breamore House, historic mill buildings, and excellent wildlife spotting along the water meadows. Best tackled in shorter sections rather than one epic trek.
