The gentle rustle of Somerset's hedgerows mingles with birdsong at this peaceful hollow, where dappled sunlight filters through mature trees onto well-spaced pitches. Tucked into the rolling countryside that makes this corner of the South West so quintessentially English, the site occupies a sheltered natural depression that gives it both its name and its sense of seclusion.

Rexes Hollow suits campers and caravanners seeking simplicity and tranquillity, with space for tents, campervans and caravans spread across grassy terrain. The Somerset Levels and the Mendip Hills are both within striking distance, offering everything from wetland walks to dramatic limestone gorges, while historic Wells and Glastonbury provide cultural interest when you fancy venturing beyond the fields.

Facilities are refreshingly straightforward—clean toilets and hot showers provide the essentials without unnecessary frills. The campfire policy requires checking on arrival, so ask the owners about burning during your stay. This is a back-to-basics site where the landscape does the heavy lifting, perfect for those who measure a good camping trip by how much they switch off rather than what's laid on.

Macmillan Way

Spans 290km across the Cotswolds, Chilterns and Northamptonshire countryside, mixing gentle valleys with moderate climbs through classic English landscapes. The full route takes 10-14 days, though you can tackle shorter sections easily—terrain varies from farm tracks to woodland paths, some muddy after rain. Not suitable for buggies; families with confident walkers aged 8+ will manage day sections well. Dogs welcome but livestock gates frequent, so lead required. Worth doing for the variety: lim
