High Gate Barn Campsite

The smell of cut grass and hay drifts across the pitches — this is proper working farm country, quiet lanes and hedgerows rather than coastal drama.

High Gate Barn suits campers who prefer gentle simplicity over bells and whistles. It's a straightforward spot for tents and campervans, ideal for couples wanting a peaceful base or dog walkers planning countryside rambles (though best to ask ahead about bringing your four-legged friend). The farmland setting means you're well away from tourist traffic, with the kind of stillness that lets you actually hear birdsong in the morning.

Facilities aren't specified in detail, so it's worth phoning ahead to check what's onsite and whether you can light a campfire — permissions vary. Expect an unpretentious, back-to-basics stay where the appeal is the setting itself rather than an amenities list. It's the sort of place where you bring what you need, settle in under open sky, and let the countryside do the talking.
