General
- Secluded and simple site on a farm in scenic, rural surrounds
- A mile's walk to Shaftesbury and a five-minute drive to Duncliffe Wood
- A 35-minute drive from Stonehenge and 50 minutes from the coast
If a secluded stay is what you’re seeking for an upcoming hol, escape to Edwards Farm in dreamy Dorset and settle in at a site on a quiet field with oodles of space.
Numbers are limited here to boost the peaceful vibes – and to make sure the whole experience feels as private as possible – plus barbecues are allowed as well. Wood is available on request for campfires, so you can also amp up the outdoorsy atmosphere by building a blaze too.
If you’re after ingredients to assemble alfresco bites, set off on a short uphill walk to the centre of Shaftesbury (15 minutes) and scour the local shops (or just jump in the car for the five-minute journey). As for adventures, the park is at the base of the well-known Foyle Hill cycling route, with sublime scenery luring in bikers and hikers.
With Duncliffe Woods (five minutes’ drive), Melbury Abbas (10 minutes), Hambledon Hills (15 minutes) and Hod Hill (20 minutes) all in close proximity, stunning strolls are in fact accessible in all directions.
Back on base, amenities are of the basic variety and include a field shelter with dry toilets and cold-water taps.
Edwards Farm is a prime pick for convenience as parking is permitted next to pitches and it’s a 20-minute drive from the Warminster exit off the A303. At the moment, the site asks that you take any rubbish away with you.
Open from 26/05/2022 to 31/10/2022

Very quiet weekend - only us and 1 other group …

Was a lovely, friendly, clean site.
From the manager...
Thanks so much for your review, I really appreciate your comments. Hope to see you back again later in the summer ! |

From the manager...
Hi Bernie, thanks for your 10/10 and kind comments, really appreciated, and I will definitely think about a metal bin, good idea. I was disappointed that you did not think we are very child friendly, as most children love the site. Maybe for older ones the countryside is a bit dull? Should you like to bring some children next time, please bring them for free. For anyone reading, just so it is clear we do not advertise or supply WiFi, apologies but you have to rely on 4G at the site, which can be patchy on some networks. |

Excellent site with clean facilities, friendly hosts, would come again

The campsite is located at the bottom of Foyle Hill. The entrance is by a field gate and not the farmhouse. The field gate is located two gates up on the right from the farmhouse entrance in the direction of Shaftesbury.
Local attractions
A visit to Shaftesbury is sure to be on the cards when staying at this site – the historic town is a mere mile away, so you can easily go off on a wander around the shops or get up to Gold Hill in the centre for views across the vale.
If stretching the legs isn’t really for you, admire animals instead at Longleat House (half an hour’s drive) and Monkey World (40 minutes). Those more culturally curious can navigate their way towards National Trust attractions like Stourhead (20 minutes), King Alfred's Tower (half an hour) and Montacute House (45 minutes) or skedaddle to the ancient site of Stonehenge (35 minutes) to gaze at the granddaddy of all things historical.
Keen for the coast? Peruse the seaside around Poole (50 minutes) and Bournemouth (an hour), perhaps heading off on an amble between the two; urban explores are to be had around Bath’s Roman ruins (55 minutes), at Salisbury’s high-spired cathedral (50 minutes) or closer by at the abbey in the pretty settlement of Sherborne (half an hour).
Must see
