  • A working rare-breed farm in the Kent countryside
  • Highland and Sussex cattle, Hebridean, Ronaldsay and Boreray sheep
  • Buy fresh farm produce for the barbecue
An hour from London but deep in countryside on the southerly slopes of the Greensand Ridge overlooking the Weald of Kent, Roundoak Farm has warm welcomes, its own produce for sale, and lots of farming activity to see throughout the year: arrange a trip here forthwith. Run by Ruth and Norman, Roundoak is mostly grassland with five acres of natural oak woodland at Sutton Valence and a further 50 acres a mile or so away in Ulcombe, and is a working farm breeding Hebridean sheep and Highland cows. Well-behaved dogs are welcome if kept on leads. Guests are welcome to wander the farmyard by arrangement: depending on the time of year, you could see lambs, pigs, piglets, cows and calves as well as the chickens, chicks, turkeys and ducks that wander the farm freely. Home produce is always available and includes eggs as well as meat including pork sausages, bacon, lamb and beef; bed throws, wool and branded Roundoak clothing are also available to buy. The site is clean and level with mowed grass and generously-sized pitches, all facing south, with access to toilets and showers on site (free of charge). There's also a five-acre oak woodland with wooded walk open to guests, which has a large barbecue area available by arrangement. The site has secure coded access gates and security cameras. Please note that this is an adults-only peaceful retreat site, where music and ball games are not allowed. This may not suit everyone, so please consider this before booking. Guests are reminded that at certain times of the year private bookings and events take place here – you will be notified on arrival of any functions taking place.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Norman, Ruth Gary were the perfect hosts — so friendly, welcoming and helpful.

The campsite is on a working farm but is so peaceful and relaxing with immaculately clean facilities.

Not needing EHU, we chose a pitch with a front row view of the cows - I had a little chat with each of them before I went to bed and again the minute I woke up (I’m sure they really appreciated it 🤪).

We had a lovely walk to one of the village pubs through the orchards, which only took about 20 mins each way.

The cows were definitely the highlight, followed closely behind in second place by Norman, who did a lap of the site through the evening to make sure everything was okay and everyone was enjoying their stay.

We really wished we could have stayed longer but being fairly local, we hope to return next weekend 😍 🐮 😍

Disliked Not being able to take a pet cow home with us!

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked We were so glad we stumbled on Roundoaks when looking for a few days away this week. The farm owners, Norman and Ruth, are lovely and rightly proud of their farm. You are given a great welcome, with a general tour of the site as well as a really informative guide. Everyone around the farm is also super friendly and helpful.

Not only is the setting beautiful (the pitches are well kept and spacious, some with EHU others “wild”) but guests are able (within reason - it should be remembered it’s working farm! ) to explore the setting with its fields and woodland. We loved sitting watching the sheep and cows (Roundoaks specialise in breeding rare, endangered and ancient cattle) including the huge Vaynol bull, the free roaming chickens and Highland cattle with their very cute calves! There are several toilets and showers, all impeccably clean as well as washing up areas and water points.

There are two lovely pubs in the nearby village (a bit of a steep walk but Norman will point you in the right direction) and an incredible view over the Weald of Kent.

The farm is very dog friendly but they must be kept on lead, for obvious reasons).

The site is very peaceful and relaxing with stunning dark skies perfect for stargazing on a clear night.

Disliked Nothing to dislike (other than we wished we had booked for longer!)

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Gorgeous campsite on a working farm. It’s so relaxed there. You can wander round and see all the animals. There is a lovely little wooded area too where you can walk through to see the Highland Cattle. Some
Had just had calves so we couldn’t get up really close but it was so lovely to see. Don’t be put off by the lane to the farm - I see others have mentioned it. If you follow the directions provided, you are only on it for a really short time and we didn’t meet another vehicle at all when we were arriving or leaving. Facilities are clean and there are plenty of them. Thanks to Garry and Norman for their hospitality. We hope you will allow us back soon.
Oh, and thank you to the lovely lady and gentleman in the office who let me sit in there for an hour when my dog got a bit hot when we arrived. So appreciated! I will wash your towel and post back.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Such a wonderful gem of a site. A warm welcome awaited us right from first arriving at the farm. Made to feel like it was home from home, at one with nature. Even had the honour of witnessing a rare breed calf being born, and seeing it take its first steps. Truly amazing. Special thanks to Ruth & Norman for sharing a little piece of their world with us ♥️

Route directions

It is advisable not to rely on satnavs. Take junction 8 off the M20 Motorway and follow the signs to Leeds Castle. Pass the castle's main entrance and continue through the village of Leeds and through the village of Langley. At the cross roads by the Plough PH and Youngs car sales, turn left towards Sutton Valence and Headcorn. Continue through Sutton Valence down the steep hill. At the bottom of the hill just before the petrol station and car sales, turn left into Heniker Lane. Continue down this winding lane to the T junction. Turn right passing a row of cottages. After a short distance there are a large set of brown gates, this is Roundoak farm. There is a security pad to the left of the gates. If you do not have the code call the farm using the contact details provided in your confirmation email.

Local attractions

Stick close to Kent or wander as far as France from Roundoak Farm: the likes of Leeds, Sissinghurst and Hever castles, Whitstable, Tunbridge Wells and Canterbury are all easy to get to, or you could motor along to Dover and get the ferry for a day trip to France. The local station is Headcorn, two miles away; from there, you can be at Charing Cross in central London in about an hour. Kentish vineyards are at Tenterden, Biddenden and Hush Heath – bring a bottle back to have with the barbie later – and another good and green local option is Bedgebury National Pinetum, a recreational and conservational arboretum with tree-lined paths for walking and cycling. The Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway runs for almost 14 miles from Hythe to Dungeness and the Kent & East Sussex Railway can be hailed at Tenterden for the 10-and-a-half-mile journey to Bodiam Castle. For old houses, have a day at Penshurst Place & Gardens, the fortified manor house with adventure playground, summer maze and regular events, and at Ightham Mote, the medieval manor house near Sevenoaks that's now managed by the National Trust. The Chatham Historic Dockyard is also well worth a look, and if you're around the coast you should also see Rye and Hastings: cliff railways at the latter very much a must.
