General
- Small, peaceful south Somerset five minutes' drive from Wedmore
- Wookey Hole, Cheddar Gorge and Wells Cathedral within 20 mins' drive
- One-acre camping field in a secluded orchard; dogs welcome on site
Peace and pretty views come as standard at Orchard View – this small-scale site in the south Somerset countryside has been set up in a secluded apple orchard with a backdrop of the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
There’s plenty of space to pitch up comfortably here, with an acre of land set aside for the campsite and guest numbers kept on the low side. The village of Wedmore is about five minutes’ drive away for shops, pubs, restaurants and other handy amenities.
This is a super spot for those aiming to get out for walks or bike rides – there are footpaths and bridleways all around, taking you through the woods and foothills that run down to the Somerset Levels. Cheddar Gorge is about 20 minutes away by car if you want to take a hike between the craggy cliffs over there for a change of scenery.
Various essential amenities are back on site for guests – including a toilet and sink, showers, a chemical waste disposal point and water/waste water facilities. Dogs are welcome to join you at this site, which is well geared up for travelling pets.
If you like to finish up your camping days by building a blaze of some sort, you’ll be in good company here – open fires and barbecues are welcome in the designated areas, and logs, charcoal and firelighters are all available to buy on site.
Open from 01/04/2024 to 30/09/2024

Local attractions
If the sight of all those apples has put you in the mood for a few sips of cider, you’ll be pleased to know that it’s only a half-hour walk to Lands End Farm, where Roger sells flagons of his award-winning cider alongside local cheeses and other bits and pieces for your picnic. For a different tipple, head to Fenny Castle Vineyard (10 minutes’ drive) for a tour and a browse of the shop.
The natural landscapes around here are equally enticing, whether you stay above ground for hikes around Cheddar Gorge and Ebbor Gorge National Nature Reserve (both 20 minutes) or delve underground to explore Wookey Hole caves (15 minutes).
Elsewhere nearby you might like to take a stroll around the cathedral city of Wells (20 minutes), hit the beach in Burnham-on-Sea (25 minutes) or take a trip to Glastonbury (25 minutes) for the abbey, indie shops and a walk up Glastonbury Tor.
