  • Small family-run glampsite in woodland, 45 minutes’ drive from London
  • A 10-minute drive to Highclere Castle; five minutes to Newbury
  • Private facilities with hot showers, firepit and under-cover areas
Set in 10 acres of private and ancient woodland on the Hampshire-Berkshire border, Hollington Park Glamping is just 45 minutes’ drive from London and 10 minutes from historic Highclere Castle. Cute, vintage-styled glamping units are set in a magical clearing of private woodland, near to the market town of Newbury in Henry VIII’s former hunting grounds. Each accommodation has a cooking station kitted out with a gas stove and barbecue. Crockery, cutlery, pots, pans, barbecue tools, tea, coffee, sugar and milk are provided. All bedding and towels are included too. Right next door you have exclusive-use showers with piping hot water, a basin and toilet. The pods and bell tents are accompanied by a private outdoor deck, an undercover seating area and brick-built firepit. Guests have full access to the 10-acre woodland, and there’s masses to do round and about, from visiting historic sites to farm parks and museums, discovering spectacular countryside walks and enjoying local pubs – there are three highly recommended choices within walking distance.

Route directions

The site can be a little tricky to find, satnavs often take you down the wrong track so watch out for that. If your satnav tries to take you down a small track before the fork to Hollington, please ignore it. The track is for tractors only and you are likely to get stuck. It is also private.

Local attractions

The market town of Newbury has a wealth of indie shops, bars and pubs as well as historic buildings and the manicured Victoria Park, which has a boating lake. Woolton Hill (both five minutes’ drive) hosts an excellent market (last Saturday of every month), while Hungerford (20 minutes) is full of antique emporiums. The Bombay Sapphire distillery (20 minutes) offers tours daily – best to book in advance. And of course there’s magnificent Highclere Castle (10 minutes), open for tours in July and August – outside these months, you’ll need to check ahead for specific dates. If you’re staying with kids, there are zipwires and crazy golf at Finkley Down Farm (25 minutes) and raptor flying shows at the Hawk Conservancy (half an hour). Four Kingdoms Adventure Park and Family Farm (15 minutes) also offers animal encounters and play zones. Fancy a day at the beach? The south coast is only an hour’s drive away. For many people, however, it’s walking and cycling that make the North Wessex Downs so popular. Climb Beacon Hill (10 minutes) or wander across famous Watership Down (15 minutes). Newbury itself sits alongside the Kennet and Avon Canal, where you can follow scenic and gentle walks along the towpath.
