The stone walls of a 15th-century tithe barn hold centuries of warmth, and you'll feel it the moment you step through the door.
This is proper roof-over-your-head camping — cosy pods and guest house rooms tucked into Bristol's outskirts, perfect for couples after a city-and-countryside hybrid or families who want a base with a bit of history and none of the tent-peg faff. You're close enough to Bristol's harbourside buzz for a day trip, but far enough out to wake to birdsong instead of traffic. The medieval barn itself gives the place a quietly special feel, the sort of spot that works just as well for a quick weekend as a longer explore of the West Country.
Facilities aren't listed in detail, so it's worth asking ahead what's onsite and what you'll need to bring. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, and campfires are a check-on-arrival situation — assume you'll need to ask rather than assume. Open all year, so if you fancy a winter pod stay with a bit of character, this one's worth a look.
Add a single landscape photo from your trip — pitch, view, sunset, anything but people. We’ll add it to the gallery after a quick moderation check.

Tackles a challenging 27km loop with significant elevation over varied terrain including steep climbs and potentially boggy sections. Not suitable for young children or buggies due to length and difficulty. Dogs welcome but must be fit and capable of sustained hill walking. Rewards determined walkers with sweeping views across Somerset's distinctive trio of peaks and surrounding countryside.
Follows the River Avon through varied countryside from its source near Acton Turville to the Bristol Channel at Avonmouth. Expect flat to gentle terrain along riverside paths and meadows, though some sections cross fields and may be muddy after rain. Most stretches suit families and are dog-friendly, but pushchair access varies – check individual sections as some stiles and gates appear. Worth it for peaceful waterside scenery, wildlife spotting, and the satisfaction of tracing a river's journey
Loops through Long Ashton's quiet lanes and field paths with gentle, undulating terrain—mostly flat with a few short inclines. Perfect for families and generally buggy-friendly on firmer sections, though gates and stiles may require navigation. Dogs welcome throughout. Offers lovely Somerset countryside views, glimpses of historic buildings, and a peaceful village atmosphere just minutes from Bristol's edge.
