General
- Somerset farmstead glamping site with sea views near Blue Anchor
- Exmoor National Park 15 minutes’ drive; beach 10 minutes’ walk
- Next to the West Somerset Railway; station 10 minutes' walk away
If you can’t decide between moorland and seaside for your Somerset stay, make your way to Marshwood Copse. This rural site is sandwiched between Exmoor National Park (15 minutes’ drive) for long bracing hikes, and Blue Anchor beach (10 minutes’ walk) for family days out on the sands by the Bristol Channel.
The campsite has views of the sea as well as the West Somerset Railway, which runs alongside the fields of this historic working farmstead. Railway buffs can happily watch steam trains chug past from their pitches or take a ride from the heritage station in Blue Anchor, 10 minutes' walk.
In fact, this site is so well placed for local attractions that you can abandon the car for the day and pretty much walk everywhere. If you’d like to stretch your legs on a long hike, set off for medieval Dunster (an hour on foot), or stick closer to basecamp with a visit to the local pubs and cafés within 20 minutes’ walk.
If you do have the car, head for harbourside Watchet (10 minutes’ drive) for fish and chips from the takeaways or stock up on camping essentials in Minehead (15 minutes), where there's also an indie cinema – handy for those days when the weather isn’t playing ball.

Local attractions
There’s loads for animal-mad families to see: get up close to creepy crawlies and reptiles at Tropiquaria Wildlife Park (10 minutes’ drive) or cuddlier options in the form of rescue dogs at the Golden Retriever Experience (five minutes). Kids can play zookeeper for the day at Exmoor Zoo (50 minutes), or go pony trekking in the Quantock Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (half an hour).
The Quantocks are also riddled with hiking and cycling trails, as is Exmoor – trails start right from Dunster Exmoor National Park Centre (five minutes’ drive), while off-roading bikers can get on the Grabbist Hill and Peaks route at Dunster too. Wimbleball Lake Activity Centre (half an hour) is a hub for dinghy sailing and paddleboarding, with equipment available for hire.
Turning north to the coast, stroll down to Blue Anchor beach (10 minutes’ walk), search for fossils on Doniford beach (15 minutes) or have a stroll along the shingle at West Street beach before pottering around the pretty harbour at Watchet (both 10 minutes).
