The smell of woodsmoke drifts across the Somerset levels on a still morning, and somewhere beyond the hedge a blackbird is working through its entire repertoire before breakfast.

This is a quiet spot for couples or small groups who want a proper roof overhead — there's a camping pod if you fancy something compact and cosy, or guest house rooms if you'd rather have a bit more space and a traditional breakfast to start the day. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth a quick call if you're bringing yours. Somerset's gentle walking country is all around you here — the Mendips to the north, the wetlands and willow-lined rhynes stretching south and west — and you're well placed for exploring Glastonbury, Wells, or the cider orchards that make this corner of England famous.

It's a low-key, year-round kind of place with a homely feel. Campfires may be allowed depending on conditions, so check when you arrive. Expect a warm welcome, a peaceful night, and none of the bells and whistles of a big commercial site — just Somerset at its understated best.

Monk's Path to Home Farm Blue Anchor

Meanders across gentle farmland and quiet woodland tracks linking Monk's Path with Home Farm near Blue Anchor. Mostly flat terrain with a few mild undulations, ideal for families with young children and suitable for sturdy all-terrain buggies on drier days. Dogs welcome to explore the rural surroundings. Worth doing for peaceful countryside views away from tourist hotspots, plus a genuine taste of Somerset's pastoral landscape and possible glimpses of working farm life.

Macmillan Way West

Traces a long-distance footpath through Somerset's gentle farmland and river valleys with occasional moderate climbs. Suitable for confident families with older children on individual sections, but uneven ground and stiles make it unsuitable for buggies. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. The route rewards walkers with quintessential West Country scenery, historic villages, and well-maintained waymarking linking castles, churches, and countryside between Abbotsbury and Castle Cary.

King Charles III England Coast Path: Brean Down to Minehead

National Trails logoNational Trails

Follows the dramatic Somerset coastline with mixed terrain—sandy beaches, clifftop paths, and some steep ascents around headlands. Expect challenging inclines in sections, particularly near clifftops, making it unsuitable for buggies and difficult for very young children. Dogs welcome on leads where livestock present. Delivers spectacular views across the Bristol Channel, passes historic ports like Watchet, and showcases ever-changing coastal scenery from marshland to wooded slopes. Best tackled
