The creak of an old gate, the rustle of canvas in the wind, and somewhere beyond the hedgerow the rumble of a cattle grid — this is no-frills camping as it used to be.
The Old Armoury suits campers and vanners who don't need much fuss: folk happy with a level pitch, a quiet corner, and their own company. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so this could work for those with a four-legged hiking companion. The region around you is proper countryside — the kind where you remember to bring a torch and check the weather before you set off.
Facilities are deliberately sparse, so come prepared: this is closer to wild camping than glamping. Campfires may be allowed depending on conditions, so ask when you arrive. The vibe is peaceful, unpolished, and honest — a place that lets the landscape do the talking rather than dressing it up with bunting and pizza ovens.
