  • Rural site two miles from the village of Wickwar
  • Half an hour's drive from Bristol and 40 minutes from Bath
  • Dog-friendly site in a handy location for both M4 and M5 motorways
A laidback rural spot with convenient access to a couple of the country’s most famed cities – if that sounds like a fine mix for a break, steer your travels towards The Daisy Paddock, a lovely little place in the Gloucestershire countryside a couple of miles from the village of Wickwar. It's next to a train line, so some noise will be heard from trains, although they don't run 24 hours per day. Spacious this place is, but stuffed with people it is not – numbers on site are kept on the low side to make sure all guests have plenty of space for all those essential countryside activities (barbecues, campfires, epic football games, lengthy periods spent in a deckchair with a brew or two…). If you want to keep country vibes going on your days out that’s easily done, for this is a fine area in which to take a walk or a bike ride, with plenty of quiet paths to potter along and pubs to refresh in as you go (the nearest being a 40-minute amble away in Wickwar). Squeezing in a bit of city life as well? Bristol city centre is about half an hour away by car, and the elegant streets of Bath are around 40 minutes away. Back at base, the offerings are simple but should keep life ticking along smoothly: drinking water, a toilet and an Elsan point are all provided, and you’re welcome to bring along whatever combination of kids and dogs makes up your travelling entourage.

Liked Friendly, small and therefore not may other people. Lovely part of the country. Decent toilet. Children’s’ activities.

Disliked Postcode only works with certain map apps. Ours took us to a different farm, which the owners knows about but didn’t tell us..!
Trainline alongside wasn’t mentioned.

From the manager: Hi thanks for your review with reference to the directions to the camp side it is on pitch up details to not use apple maps as it takes you to a incorrect address all other maps are fine and when you arrived you said you used apple maps and as to the train line you were made aware when you arrived and said it was fine

Great site…

Local attractions

Bristol’s a mighty fine place to spend the day – especially if you’re up for filling the kids’ brains with clever stuff without them noticing. There are excellent hands-on displays at We The Curious science museum, relics from the past at M Shed and glimpses into Victorian life at Brunel’s SS Great Britain (complete with sounds and smells and a mast to climb if you’re feeling brave). The city’s zoo and aquarium are worth a stop too, as are the many cafés and restaurants. Rather more genteel is Bath (40 minutes’ drive), which also makes for a great day out wandering along the famed Royal Crescent, surveying the Roman Baths and gliding along the river on a boat trip. Stylish sorts may also like to trace a bit of history through the garb on display at the Fashion Museum. Steering clear of cities for a bit? Plan instead for outings to Westonbirt Arboretum (25 minutes), Prince Charles’s pad Highgrove Royal Gardens (half an hour) or Prior Park Landscape Garden (40 minutes).
