  • Touring site at a classic country pub in the Wiltshire countryside
  • A 10-minute drive from the Kennet and Avon Canal; 25 minutes to Bath
  • Local ales and homecooked meals; large field for dogs to run free
Pull up to The Poplars for country walks and road trips, followed by delicious local ales and homecooked meals at the classic country pub back at base. This touring site is in the grounds of a friendly traditional pub and should make a nice spot for a weekend trip or a longer rural retreat. With just a small number of pitches, it's a peaceful place surrounded by the Wiltshire countryside and within a 20-minute drive of Bath and Stourhead. Arranged around the edge of a large field, the pitches have their own electric hook-up points. There is ample space to unwind; kids and dogs are welcome to run free in the field, and the pub also has an outdoor seating area. There is a bus stop opposite the site with a direct 10-minute connection to Bradford-on-Avon. Trowbridge, the county town of Wiltshire, is only a five-minute drive away too, should you fancy browsing its shops, cafés or supermarkets. While you're staying at this handy base, you might want to head out to the Kennet and Avon Canal for a peaceful walk or cycle past Dundas Aqueduct and scenic villages. Bath, 25 minutes’ drive away, also has a wide range of attractions including Roman baths, the Jane Austen Centre and Bath Abbey.
