- Quiet, well-maintained dog-friendly site in Shadoxhurst
- A 30-minute drive from Dungeness, Rye and Winchelsea
- Well-stocked on-site fishing lake with roach, rudd and perch
Planning an upcoming Kentish caper? With five acres of woodland, field and lake to its name, The Firs Fishery and Campsite covers more than a few bases. Green surrounds? Check. Low levels of light pollution? Absolutely. Oh, and here's something to reel you in – this place has a fishing lake for the exclusive use of guests.
This site may be in a rural spot, but this is far from the back of beyond. The village of Shadoxhurst is about a mile away (that's a 20-minute stroll through country lanes if you fancy stretching your legs), with a medieval chapel and top-rated local pub to its name. Looking for big-city fashion without leaving the countryside? Ashford designer outlet is under a quarter of an hour's drive away. The Kent coast is also close at hand, with seaside towns like Dungeness, Rye and Winchelsea all reachable in around half an hour.
Back at base, a secure horse paddock and plenty of space for dog exercise means a warm welcome for creatures great and small. Keep your eyes peeled for animals of the wild variety, too: one of the lakes on site has been given over to nature, and friendly waterfowl are known to waddle over the grass from time to time. For food, outdoor cookouts are on the cards as long as your barbecue is raised off the ground (you can also prebook a firepit but please don't bring your own along).
Open from 01/04/2021 to 30/09/2021

Local attractions
There's a reason Kent is known as the 'Garden of England', you know: this part of the world is home to well-kept man-made landscapes and vistas of rolling farmland. Fans of the former may well appreciate teeing off at the local golf club (10 minutes' drive) or heading down to the Royal Military Canal (10 minutes) for bike rides along the water's edge. Rural ramblers, meanwhile, should check out the four-mile Wye Downs circular walk (25 minutes).
Travellers with kids unwilling to be dragged up hill and down dale have plenty of options, too. The Rare Breeds Centre (10 minutes), a historic steam train (15 minutes) and stunning Bodiam Castle (30 minutes) are just some of the family-friendly jaunts to be had hereabouts.
Like to be beside the seaside? Dungeness' marshland landscape is home to abundant birdlife (pack your binoculars and head to the RSPB reserve to find out more), as well as an old lighthouse and the largest shingle beach in Europe (25 minutes). Head to the two genteel towns of Rye and Winchelsea, meanwhile, for castle ruins, independent book shops and vineyards, or scamper over to the dunes at Camber Sands (all around half an hour's drive).
