Shilvington Barn

The view from the bell tent in the morning

From the site looking towards weymouth and portland

What a handy location this is for a rural Dorset holiday – Shilvington Barn campsite is above the tiny hamlet of Coryates, less than 20 minutes’ drive from Dorchester, Weymouth and the gorgeous Jurassic Coast. This is a family-run working farm, with the site cows always somewhere nearby, and often more animals lurking in the surrounding hedgerows (deer, buzzards, rabbits and foxes can often be seen around the place). If you fancy getting to know some of the residents, book an alpaca experience on site. As well as being handy for getting out and about, this location is also rather stunning – the grass pitches have 360-degree views out over the Dorset countryside to Chesil Beach and the sea beyond, and often take in stunning sunrises/sunsets over the surrounding hills too. Lots of circular walking routes can be followed nearby, including the ramble to Hardy’s Monument two miles away. Life on site is pretty relaxed, with plenty of space for kids and dogs to stretch their legs, and access to a basic washing-up area and communal portable showers and portable toilets. Bring along a barbecue or hire a firepit on site and you can cook up burgers from the farm and other local produce that can be bought on site. You can also source pints at a couple of local pubs two and a half miles away.

Lokale seværdigheder

To the Dorset coast first? The famed 18-mile Chesil Beach is about 15 minutes’ drive away, with plenty of scope for walks or days of sea fishing. Sailing and surfing types should set off instead for Portland Harbour (20 minutes’ drive), and paddleboarders, kayakers and swimmers alike can all get a close-up view of Durdle Door by setting off from its adjacent beach or Lulworth Cove (35 minutes). Proper sand-based family fun, meanwhile, can be had in Weymouth (20 minutes), which is also home to the excellent Sea Life Centre. Of course, Dorset’s not all about the coast, and there are also some great days out to be had around Dorchester (15 minutes), perhaps visiting the brewery, the dinosaur museum or the teddy bear museum, or setting off to explore Sculpture by the Lakes (25 minuntes). And if you’d like to include animal viewings on your schedule, plan some time at Abbotsbury Swannery and Subtropical Gardens (15 minutes) or Kingston Maurward Gardens & Animal Park (20 minutes).
