- Family-run Somerset farm site 10 minutes from the A303
- On the Macmillan Way, 25 minutes' drive from Glastonbury
- Firepits allowed; ice pack freezing and charging points in the house
Set down for a stay surrounded by the south Somerset countryside at Willowbank Farm. At this family-run and family-friendly site run by farmer Martin, you'll be well-based for a spot of stargazing, wildlife spotting and plenty of fresh air. It's on the route of the 290-mile Macmillan Way footpath, 25 minutes' drive from Glastonbury and 40 minutes from Longleat's safari and adventure park. (And it's all easy to get to as well, as the A303 is a mere 10 minutes away – making it potentially rather handy for a stopover.)
Surrounded by a working farm with fields actively farmed throughout the year, the site is pretty peaceful. Guests can pick a plot where they please. With all the open spaces, there’s plenty of places for kids to let off some steam and families to play games, look out for wildlife, build firepits (there is wood available to buy on site) or unwind with a barbecue (bring your own with you).
As the site is off-grid, bring a torch along to avoid any late-night stumbles as you make your way to the composting toilets. Handily, there are also facilities for ice pack freezing and mobile charging points in the farmhouse if you need them.
If you're planning on doing a big shop for supplies, there are large supermarkets 20 minutes’ drive away in Wincanton or a smaller food shop good for the basics 10 minutes’ drive away. In Castle Cary (10 minutes’ drive), there are more food shops, butchers and pubs serving tasty grub. Or if you prefer your country pubs, there’s a cosy inn five minutes’ drive away too.
Open from 28/06/2024 to 26/07/2024
