  • Quiet and family-friendly farm site in Hampshire's Test Valley
  • Stonehenge, New Forest and Highclere Castle within 40 minutes' drive
  • Farm shop, café and two pubs within a five-minute drive
Fancy checking out some national treasures in the Test Valley? Then treat yourself to a stay at Rowbury Farm Camping, a fab spot in the Hampshire countryside with views towards Andover and the Iron Age hill fort of Danebury. Danebury is just one of the heritage sites and scenic spots close by: Stonehenge is half an hour's drive away, and the farm is in the middle of a cluster of national parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, including the New Forest and the North Wessex Downs. The site is made up of a quiet, simple and green 11-acre field, much of which is covered in wildflowers, with mown pitches scattered throughout. The friendly owners support recycling on site and ask that there's no loud music or parties so everyone, wildlife included, can relish the peace. There are large firepits around the site where guests can gather round the flames to sizzle sausages or even braise wild boar if that's your bag… For other food, it's a five-minute drive to a farm shop with attached café; there are two good pubs with food within a similar distance and it's a 10-minute drive to shops and supermarkets in Stockbridge.

Unpowered grass tent or campervan site

Liked: This site has big pitches with firepits in most - you can PYO pitch when you arrive which is nice, I chose a corner spot to the rear of the site as I like a quiet camp. The facilities are just what's needed, didn't count the showers but I think 4, plus toilets (more of those, plus two portaloos at the rear of the site so you didn't have to walk all the way to the top). Ice pack freezing and a washing up area are a must for me and there were both these things. The owner was lovely and friendly and it was easy to find, and I'd happily stay again.

Unpowered grass tent or campervan site

Liked: Wide open spaces, relatively quiet site, good clean facilities, helpful staff & close to sustrans cycle route. Loved the sunsets, starry skies and hooting owls 🦉. Option for campfires.

Disliked: In exceptionally hot weather (not expected in mid-September 😆) no shaded areas. There will be once the trees and hedges grow. Some military noise/activity occasionally & if wind in wrong direction you can hear the noise from the main road.

Local attractions

In terms of sights and activities there are some headline acts around here, but you can pass an easy half day or two without straying too far. Footpaths crisscross the local area (one leading to Danebury's Iron Age fort), and National Cycle Route 246 also passes right by: this is a spectacular stretch you can pedal all the way through the North Wessex Downs up into Berkshire. Similarly close by, splat each other with paintballs and shoot each other with lasers a two-minute drive away at the local activity centre, or zip through the treetops on wires and ropes at Treerunners (10 minutes). For a more sedate time, tour the vines and sip the wines at Cottonworth, five minutes away. It's a half-hour drive to Neolithic Stonehenge and a similar distance to Highclere Castle, in use in one form or another since the eighth century and most recently as the set for British TV hit Downton Abbey. The surrounding North Wessex Downs are fine walking country, just as the elegant stately home and gardens at Hinton Ampner (40 minutes) make a good intro to the South Downs. More top walks and wildlife spotting can be had as the National Nature Reserve of ancient Langley Wood (40 minutes away) merges with the New Forest. To see some of that wildlife close up, the Hawk Conservancy Trust is 15 minutes away, with feeding and flying displays from the resident raptors.
