Free Range Glamping

The area around Free Range Glamping is a top spot for a slow-paced family getaway: wend your way through the enchanted forest at Groombridge Place, get up close with the animals at the Ashdown Llama Park, or chug along the Spa Valley Railway in a steam train from Tunbridge Wells to Eridge, all within 30 minutes’ drive of the site. Experience statelier times with visits to Penshurst Place, Chiddingston Castle, Ightham Mote and Hever Castle, all less than 20 minutes away, and ramble around the grounds at Riverhill Himalayan Gardens and Emmetts Garden. Chartwell, the family home of Sir Winston Churchill, is 15 minutes from Free Range Glamping – explore the rooms that have been left almost exactly as they were when he lived here, wander the stunning gardens, and follow the trails that crisscross the woodland. If all this pastoral splendour is leaving you craving the urban life, never fear: the museums, galleries, shops, restaurants and attractions of London are less than an hour away by train, and the towns of Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells are both within 30 minutes of the site. Tunbridge Wells is a must: pay a visit to the Pantiles – a Georgian colonnade of cafés and shops – to burn a hole in your credit card, take the waters at the Chalybeate Spring, then sit down for a meal in one of the town’s top-notch restaurants.
