The chestnut trees that give this Rutland farm its name cast dappled shade across the grass on warm afternoons, and come September the ground crunches underfoot with fallen conkers that'll delight any child still young enough to thread one on string.

This is proper low-key camping — grass pitches for tents, campervans and caravans, toilets and showers onsite, nothing fancy, which suits families after countryside peace and dog walkers exploring England's smallest county. Rutland Water's close enough to make this a sensible base for cyclists on the round-reservoir route or sailors launching from one of the marinas, though you're equally well-placed for rambling the rolling farmland that makes this corner of the East Midlands feel surprisingly remote.

Campfires are sometimes allowed but check when you arrive — the owners will let you know what's workable. It's a friendly, farm-stay sort of place where you pitch up, unwind, and remember that camping doesn't need bells and whistles to feel exactly right.

Rutland Round

Circumnavigates England's smallest county over 105km of varied terrain, mixing rolling farmland, wooded stretches, and Rutland Water's shoreline paths. The full circuit typically takes 4-6 days with moderate inclines throughout. Not suitable for buggies or young children due to length and stile-heavy sections, though individual segments work for families. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Offers excellent reservoir views, charming market towns like Oakham and Uppingham, and a genuine sense o

Jubilee Way (Leicestershire)

Traces a long-distance trail across Leicestershire's varied countryside, mixing gentle farmland paths with moderate climbs through market towns and villages. Suitable for experienced walkers tackling sections rather than families with young children – terrain shifts frequently and stiles are common. Dogs welcome but keep on leads near livestock. Offers authentic Midlands scenery away from crowds, connecting historic settlements with rural stretches that showcase the county's agricultural heritag

Leicestershire Round

Circles Leicestershire's countryside over approximately 100 miles of mixed terrain, taking in rolling farmland, woodland paths, canal towpaths and occasional moderate climbs through the Charnwood Forest area. Best tackled in sections rather than one go—some segments suit families on flat stretches, though stiles and field crossings make it tricky for buggies. Dogs welcome throughout but keep on leads near livestock. Offers proper variety and quieter walking than you'd expect this close to Leices

Viking Way (Barnetby to Whitwell)

Follows a steady, manageable incline through Lincolnshire's rolling countryside with clear waymarking along this section of the long-distance trail. Suitable for older children used to walking, though not ideal for buggies due to uneven field paths and stiles. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Worth doing for expansive Wolds views and a genuine sense of covering ground on one of England's classic walking routes.

Hereward Way

Stretches across flat to gently rolling Fenland terrain between Oakham and Thetford, making it accessible for families with older children who can handle longer distances—though its multi-day length means most tackle sections rather than the whole route. Buggies aren't practical due to uneven field paths and stiles. Dogs welcome throughout. Traces the legendary route of Saxon rebel Hereward the Outlaw through atmospheric countryside, passing ancient abbeys, market towns, and expansive fenland vi
