The canvas of scout tents catches first light through Scots pine, and somewhere beyond the treeline a woodpecker starts its morning rattle.

This is proper scouting ground — basic pitches for tents and smaller campervans, the kind of site that suits groups under canvas, families teaching kids to peg out in a straight line, and anyone happy to pare things back. You're in classic Scottish countryside here, where the land rolls green between patches of old woodland and the nearest village shop feels like a proper expedition. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth a call ahead if you've got a four-legged navigator in tow.

Facilities are kept simple and the campfire policy needs checking when you arrive — some nights you'll be allowed to light up, others not, depending on conditions. It's a Scout camp at heart, so expect a bit of purposeful mud, shared water points, and a vibe that leans cheerful and outdoorsy rather than manicured. Anglers might note that Chalybeate Springs Trout Fishery is just up the road if you fancy an hour with a fly rod between walks.

Wealdway

Traverses the Low Weald and High Weald from Gravesend to Eastbourne, covering roughly 80 miles of mixed terrain including gentle river valleys, moderate woodland climbs, and steep sections over the South Downs. Best tackled in stages rather than one go. Generally family-friendly on lowland stretches, though sustained elevation changes and stiles make buggies impractical. Dogs welcome throughout.
