General
- Rural site surrounded by woods and fields in the Kent Downs
- Five minutes drive from Charing; 15 minutes from Leeds Castle
- Close to the Pilgrims Way; 25 minutes' walk from the local pub
Lacton Manor Barn is a spacious rural site in the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, five minutes’ drive from the village of Charing and with easy access from the M20.
The pitches here are surrounded by fields (which sometimes house livestock) and natural woodlands, with a spring-fed lake nearby and views up to the Pilgrims Way and a vineyard.
This is pared-back camping with no running water, toilets or showers, but drums of fresh water can be supplied. Guests are welcome to set up barbecues and campfires and get stuck into traditional outdoorsy activities like dam building and den making in the woods (there’s plenty of fallen wood to collect around the place for such things).
Those looking to get out and about on foot can do so easily: there are plenty of footpaths and bridleways around, such as the Pilgrims Way, which passes nearby. You can even walk all the way to Canterbury along the North Downs Way should you wish; less ambitious types might prefer a stroll to the nearest pub, 25 minutes away on foot. Whatever kind of wandering you’ve got in mind, the folk on site are happy to offer ideas and advice.
