The medieval turrets of Eastnor Castle rise dramatically above the treeline, their honey-coloured stone glowing warm in the late afternoon sun. Wood smoke drifts lazily across the parkland on summer evenings, mingling with the scent of cut grass and wildflowers, while the distant bleating of sheep echoes across the Malvern Hills just beyond the estate boundaries.

This is camping for families and couples who want a taste of grandeur without sacrificing the outdoor experience. Set within the grounds of one of Britain's most spectacular castellated mansions in the heart of Herefordshire, you're perfectly positioned for exploring the Malverns, the cathedral city of Hereford, and the picture-postcard villages of the Welsh Marches.

Pitches accommodate tents, campervans and caravans across the castle's historic parkland, with toilets and showers provided for campers. Campfires may be permitted, though you'll need to check the current policy when you arrive. The atmosphere blends stately home sophistication with back-to-basics camping charm, creating an unexpectedly magical setting where history and nature intertwine.

Poets' Path No 2

Follows gentle farmland and woodland paths through Gloucestershire's Golden Valley, linking literary sites associated with local poets. Mostly flat terrain with a few moderate inclines, suitable for reasonably fit families with older children (8+), though mudgy sections after rain make buggies impractical. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. The 8km loop offers peaceful countryside views, ancient woodlands, and glimpses of rural life that inspired Dymock poets like Frost and Thomas.

Three Choirs Way (Malvern Hills)

Traverses the dramatic Malvern Hills ridge with steep, sustained climbs and rocky, uneven paths requiring good fitness and sturdy boots. Entirely unsuitable for buggies and challenging for young children due to elevation gain and exposed sections. Dogs welcome but keep on leads near grazing livestock and wildlife. Rewards walkers with panoramic views across the Severn Valley, Cotswolds, and Welsh borders – some of the finest vistas in the Midlands make the effort worthwhile.

Geopark Way (Colwall Link)

Connects Colwall to the broader Geopark Way network through gently rolling Malvern Hills terrain with some moderate inclines. Suitable for older children but not buggies due to uneven paths and stiles. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Worth doing for the geological interest points along the route and sweeping views across Herefordshire's farmland, linking villages with characteristic half-timbered buildings and rural pubs.

Wyche Way

Stretches 79km across varied Malvern and Worcestershire terrain with moderate climbs, particularly around the Malvern Hills sections where steep ascents reward you with sweeping views. Best tackled in stages rather than one go—some segments suit families and buggies (flatter valley portions), but the hill sections don't. Dogs welcome throughout. Links historic market towns, orchards, and ridge-top panoramas that showcase why this corner of England inspired composers and poets.

Poets' Path No 1

Meanders 8km through Gloucestershire countryside on mostly gentle terrain with some moderate inclines. The route links literary landmarks and scenic viewpoints, making it engaging for older children (8+) but the distance and uneven paths aren't suitable for buggies or very young walkers. Dogs welcome on leads where livestock may graze. Worth doing for the combination of pastoral landscapes and cultural heritage, with plenty of spots to pause and enjoy rural views across the Severn Vale.
