  • Windrush Valley views; spacious communal kitchen and chillout space
If getting away from your everyday life is your top priority of late, you should very much like this peaceful site in the centre of the Cotswolds National Landscape. Created with families in mind, The Wildings Campsite is just the spot for some days away from home – especially if you're a fan of nature, as it's surrounded by the sloping countryside, scenic walking routes, country pubs and quiet farmland of the Cotswolds. It's just a 20-minute walk from the scenic village of Bourton-on-the-Water on the river Windrush, where there's so much to see, from a model village and motoring and toy museum to a maze and restaurants. Of course, you'll want to check out what's happening on site, too. If you're peckish or forgot to pack a few basic items, head along to the shop, which stocks crisps, snacks and other basics. For your caffeine fix, there's the on-site coffee shop; in high season, it's stocked with pastries from the local bakery (the recommendation is to eat those slowly, preferably with nowhere to be). There's also an on-site bar called The Watering Hole open on Saturdays from 3pm to 8pm, serving fresh coffee, soft drinks and delicious crafted (and seasonal) cocktails. The kids will have plenty of ways to keep busy at The Wildings Campsite, with opportunities for whizzing around the site to explore the grounds or sliding around at the play area. If you'd rather head indoors, the cook house has ample space for food prep (provisions can be picked up in Bourton-on-the-Water), plus board games and a collection of books. Heated toilets, hot showers and a handy communal kitchen and chillout zone are also on site.

Route directions

From the A429, turn southeast signposted Clapton Sherborne. Continue along Lankett's Lane until you reach the site on the right-hand side. If you reach the junction, you've gone too far. From the A40, turn north signposted Sherborne Clapton and stay on this road for a few miles. It's a bit wiggly, but don’t turn anywhere, and please drive carefully because there are often roe deer about. Keep driving until you reach a junction at the top of the hill and take a left. The site is at the next left.

Local attractions

There's plenty to do down the hill in Bourton-on-the-Water. You could visit The Model Village (five minutes' drive), a miniature replica of the traditional limestone village, and then walk next door to The Dragonfly Maze. There's so much variety, from the Birdland Park & Gardens (five minutes) with its twittering birds to the Cotswold Motoring Museum and Toy Collection's (five minutes) collection of vintage cars, motorbikes and toys from times gone by. Outside of Burton-on-the-Water, sample the local beers and ciders at Hawkstone Brewery (five minutes) or drive along to the popular Cotswold Farm Park (10 minutes' drive), home to 50 breeds of British farmyard animals, for a wildlife walk and the chance to meet piglets and donkeys. Seeing more animals is not at all hard around here, as a bit further away is the Cotswold Wildlife Park & Gardens (25 minutes), with a much higher animal count (260+ species, including giraffes). For crocs, check out Crocodiles of the World (25 minutes), and for birds of prey, flock to the Cotswold Falconry Centre (25 minutes). All Things Wild (35 minutes) has more animals, including lemurs, camels and colourful birds.
