The scent of apple orchards drifts across the pitches on warm Somerset evenings, that particular West Country sweetness that tells you you're deep in proper cider country.

This is a straightforward site for traditional campers — tents tucked between the trees, touring caravans and campervans welcome too. It suits those who want a quiet base in the Somerset levels without the bells and whistles, whether you're a couple exploring Glastonbury and Wells or a family after somewhere calm to properly switch off. Dog owners will want to check the current policy on arrival. The region's known for its gentle walking country, wetland reserves, and being within striking distance of both the Quantocks and the coast.

Facilities are kept simple — clean toilets and showers onsite, the essentials done well. Campfires may be allowed depending on conditions, so ask when you arrive if you're hoping for an evening around the flames. The vibe here is low-key and rural, the kind of place where you wake to birdsong rather than announcements, and the biggest decision is which Somerset cider to try at the nearest village pub.

Bath Skyline Walk

Loops around Bath's outskirts through National Trust woodland and meadows with sweeping views over the city and Georgian architecture. Expect moderate inclines, some steep sections, and uneven woodland paths – manageable for older children but not buggies. Dogs welcome on leads near grazing livestock. The combination of ancient earthworks, Prior Park's Palladian bridge glimpses, and panoramic cityscapes make this one of England's finest urban escape walks.
