The Mad Hatters name hints at something wonderfully eccentric, and this small campsite tucked away in the British countryside delivers a refreshingly informal pitch for those who like their camping simple and a little offbeat. With space for tents and campervans, it's one for couples after a quiet weekend, dog walkers who want freedom to roam (just ask first), and anyone happy to leave the big-site buzz behind.

Facilities aren't shouted about here, so expect a back-to-basics experience where you bring what you need and settle into the rhythm of canvas and open air. Campfires may be possible depending on conditions and time of year, so it's worth checking when you arrive — there's something magic about an evening fire when the rules allow it.

The vibe feels low-key and welcoming, the sort of spot where you park up, breathe out, and remember why you started camping in the first place. Perfect if you value space and quiet over polish and plumbing.

The Bishop's Way

Follows a 14km trail through Cambridgeshire countryside linking villages with gentle to moderate inclines across farmland and field paths. Suitable for older children but not buggies due to uneven terrain and stiles. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Worth doing for its mix of open fenland views, historic churches, and peaceful rural stretches away from roads—a proper countryside ramble connecting communities via ancient pathways once travelled by medieval bishops.
