Peaceful site on a Kent family farm, 10 minutes' drive from Sandwich
On National Cycle Network route 1; Canterbury 25 minutes' drive
Micropub and butcher's shop on site, plus breakfast and morning coffee

You’ll certainly know you’re in the Kent countryside when you stay at Goldstone Camping. Part of the family-run Lower Goldstone Farm, the pitches here are surrounded by gorgeous greenery and have the relaxed rural vibe that comes with a soundtrack of tractors humming in the distance and award-winning cattle pottering about in the neighbouring fields. Stay here and you’ll be bedding down in a peaceful paddock that often sees stunning sunsets and stargazing and has plenty of space for outdoor games, campfires and barbecue evenings. And what tasty barbecue evenings they’re likely to be, with the farm selling its own hand-reared meat at the on-site butcher, ready to hit your grill (plus eggs and other local bits and bobs). As for other tempting treats, you can pick up morning coffee and breakfasts at the on-site Goldstone Brew, in a converted horsebox that also sells burgers in the evenings. At the weekend there's also the option to grab a pint at the farm’s micropub, The Calf and a Half. With lots of options around for walks, bike rides and fishing, this site has all the makings of an excellent rural break. But that’s not all – it’s also only about three miles from here to the Kent coast, putting you within easy reach of beach days, coast walks and popular seaside towns. Sandwich is the closest of these – you can drive to the market town in about 10 minutes or follow the National Cycle Network path, taking you through rural villages to reach the town. Deal, Broadstairs and Ramsgate are all close by too, or you could head inland to explore the historic streets of Canterbury.

Local attractions

Bring your bikes along, because there are some excellent cycling options around here. For child-friendly days out, try the bike paths and play park at Betteshanger Park (15 minutes’ drive); you can hire bikes here if you’ve not been able to bring your own. For longer rides, National Cycle Network route 1 passes by the site and runs all the way to Dover, passing three castles (Deal, Walmer and Dover) as well as the Roman fort at Richborough. Other activities? You can go fishing at Sandwich Coarse Fishery (10 minutes), watch wildlife at Sandwich Bay Bird Observatory Trust (15 minutes) or get a hit of adrenaline at Whitemills Wake and Aqua Park (five minutes). There’s no shortage of beaches, of course – Broadstairs (25 minutes) and Margate (half an hour) for lively options and Sandwich Bay (20 minutes) for something more peaceful. Elsewhere, Canterbury (25 minutes) has heaps of heritage to explore, and the kids may well enjoy a trip to meet all the animals at Wingham Wildlife Park (10 minutes).
