The soft rustle of canvas and the distant lowing of Somerset cattle drift across this aptly named meadow site, where morning mist often clings to the hedgerows before burning off to reveal the gentle, rolling landscape that defines this corner of the South West.

This is proper tent camping for those seeking simplicity and space in equal measure. The five-acre field provides genuine breathing room between pitches, making it ideal for families wanting elbow room or groups of friends after a proper countryside escape. You're in classic Somerset territory here, with the region's famous cider orchards, historic market towns, and the mystical pull of Glastonbury Tor all within striking distance.

Facilities are refreshingly straightforward – clean toilets and hot showers provide the essentials without unnecessary frills. The campfire policy requires checking on arrival, so confirm when you book if you're planning to cook over flames. The overall atmosphere leans toward the peaceful and unpretentious: a genuine field, genuine countryside, and the genuine pleasure of sleeping under canvas with nothing but stars and hedgerows for company.
