The lane narrows, hedgerows close in, and suddenly you're tucked into a corner of rural England where the only sounds are birdsong and the occasional rumble of a tractor in the next field.

Houndridge is a straightforward spot for tourers — campervans and caravans welcome — with a practical, no-fuss setup. If you're the sort who prefers a quiet overnight pitch between walks or exploring the surrounding countryside, this works. Dog owners should ask ahead, so it's worth a quick call if you're travelling with your four-legged co-pilot.

Facilities aren't shouted about here, so come prepared and confirm what's onsite when you arrive. The same goes for campfires — check in with the owners first. It's the kind of place that suits self-sufficient campers who value location and peace over bells and whistles, and who don't mind a simpler setup in exchange for a proper countryside feel.

Borders Abbeys Way

Spans 109km through rolling Scottish Borderlands, linking four historic abbeys with varied terrain from riverside paths to moorland climbs—expect moderate inclines and some exposed sections. Not suitable for buggies; older children who can handle distance will enjoy the history. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Divided into manageable day stages, each section reveals medieval ruins, woodland trails and sweeping valley views that bring the region's monastic heritage to life.
