Hidden Wood Glamping

If it’s the city you’re heading for first of all, Bath (half an hour’s drive) is certainly one place for a packed itinerary. Stop at the Jane Austen Centre if you’re a literary fan, snap a picture of Royal Crescent and then check out the Roman Baths’ pump room and thermal waters. One landmark closer to the site is Bratton Camp & White Horse (15 minutes). Walks are splendid there, with the Iron Age hillfort and white hillside figure acting as landmarks on your route. Some other lovely landscapes for all that hiking and biking business can be tracked down in the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (45 minutes). The Mendip Activity Centre (55 minutes) will give you the chance to try out a new pursuit at the same time – perhaps skiing, abseiling, caving, tobogganing or paddleboarding. You may want somewhere a little closer by if you don't fancy travelling too far. If so, the National Trust’s Cley Hill is 35 minutes’ walk or five minutes’ drive from the site. There, the chalklands and woodlands make for a rather peaceful walk.
