The gate clicks behind you and suddenly it's just canvas, grass, and the wide sky overhead — the kind of quiet that makes you remember why you started camping in the first place.

This is a straightforward spot for tenters and campervans who want simplicity without the bells and whistles. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth a call ahead if you're bringing your four-legged companion. The Paddock suits campers who are happy to keep things low-key — whether you're a couple after a peaceful weekend, a solo traveller passing through, or anyone who'd rather wake to birdsong than a shower block playlist.

Facilities aren't listed in detail, so it's one to approach with self-sufficiency in mind and an open question or two before you arrive. Campfires are a possibility depending on conditions — check when you get there. The vibe feels genuinely off-grid in spirit, even if you've got four wheels underneath you. Pack what you need, expect space and stillness, and you'll likely leave happier than you came.

Stretches 142km across Northamptonshire's limestone ridge with gentle to moderate inclines, linking Banbury to Stamford through working countryside and market towns.

The well-marked trail welcomes dogs throughout and crosses historic landscapes including Peterborough Cathedral grounds and ancient Thetford Forest.

Viking Way (Barnetby to Whitwell)

Follows a historic long-distance trail through the Lincolnshire Wolds, mixing gentle farmland stretches with moderate climbs over rolling chalk hills. Terrain varies from well-maintained paths to potentially muddy field edges after rain. Generally suitable for older children used to longer walks, but steep sections and stiles make it tricky for buggies. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Worth it for big Wolds views and glimpses of traditional market towns.
