The morning mist lifts off the fields at Swan Farm and you're straight into proper British farmland camping — the kind where birdsong does the waking up.
This is a straightforward spot for tent campers and campervans who want something simple and unpretentious. The dog policy's a "best to ask" situation, so ring ahead if you're bringing a four-legged friend. It suits couples after a quiet weekend away from screens, or anyone who prefers a field under canvas to a regimented pitch. The lack of bells and whistles means you'll need to be reasonably self-sufficient, but that's half the appeal for some.
Facilities aren't detailed, so assume basic farm camping — come prepared. Campfires are worth checking about when you arrive; sometimes they're allowed in certain spots or firepits, sometimes not, depending on conditions. The vibe here is low-key and uncomplicated: you pitch up, the farm carries on around you, and you get on with the business of actually being outside. Not for everyone, but exactly right if it's your sort of thing.
