  • A working rare-breed farm in the Kent countryside
  • Highland and Sussex cattle, Hebridean, Ronaldsay and Boreray sheep
  • Buy fresh farm produce for the barbecue
An hour from London but deep in countryside on the southerly slopes of the Greensand Ridge overlooking the Weald of Kent, Roundoak Farm has warm welcomes, its own produce for sale, and lots of farming activity to see throughout the year: arrange a trip here forthwith. Run by Ruth and Norman, Roundoak is mostly grassland with five acres of natural oak woodland at Sutton Valence and a further 50 acres a mile or so away in Ulcombe, and is a working farm breeding Hebridean sheep and Highland cows. Well-behaved dogs are welcome if kept on leads. Guests are welcome to wander the farmyard by arrangement: depending on the time of year, you could see lambs, pigs, piglets, cows and calves as well as the chickens, chicks, turkeys and ducks that wander the farm freely. Home produce is always available and includes eggs as well as meat including pork sausages, bacon, lamb and beef; bed throws, wool and branded Roundoak clothing are also available to buy. The site is clean and level with mowed grass and generously-sized pitches, all facing south, with access to toilets and showers on site (free of charge). There's also a five-acre oak woodland with wooded walk open to guests, which has a large barbecue area available by arrangement. The site has secure coded access gates and security cameras. Please note that this is an adults-only peaceful retreat site, where music and ball games are not allowed. This may not suit everyone, so please consider this before booking. Guests are reminded that at certain times of the year private bookings and events take place here – you will be notified on arrival of any functions taking place.

What customers say

This adults-only, working rare breeds farm campground's lauded for its peaceful, scenic setting with ripper views & roomy, tidy sites. Guests rave about the friendly, helpful owners & staff, esp. Guy, plus enjoy animal encounters & bushwalks. Facilities mostly clean. A few note a tight access road & few local shops.

Powered grass caravan site

Liked This is a lovely quiet campsite - we were opposite the cows and all alone on our corner of the field, despite it being a bank holiday. We loved going on a tour of the farm with Rose who talked us through all the animals - it was amazing!
Sarah was super helpful and Norman provided us with lots of useful information for our weekend stay. We would never have gone to the dockyard or the delicious pub for dinner without his recommendations!

Disliked We arrived late due to traffic and waited on the lane until we could get the code for the gate - could it be provided to people in advance so that you can wait in the yard rather than on the lane (the lane is very quiet but we didn't know this while we were waiting!)

Liked We hebben genoten van de gastvrijheid en vriendelijkheid van Normen, de eigenaar van De farm. Van de prachtige caravan plaats met ongelooflijk uitzicht. De 'safari' tocht met Roos door de velden en omgeving en met de jeep zo dicht bij de dieren. Wij zijn er al 3x geweest en komen zeker terug.

Unpowered grass site

Liked Norman, Ruth Gary were the perfect hosts — so friendly, welcoming and helpful.

The campsite is on a working farm but is so peaceful and relaxing with immaculately clean facilities.

Not needing EHU, we chose a pitch with a front row view of the cows - I had a little chat with each of them before I went to bed and again the minute I woke up (I’m sure they really appreciated it 🤪).

We had a lovely walk to one of the village pubs through the orchards, which only took about 20 mins each way.

The cows were definitely the highlight, followed closely behind in second place by Norman, who did a lap of the site through the evening to make sure everything was okay and everyone was enjoying their stay.

We really wished we could have stayed longer but being fairly local, we hope to return next weekend 😍 🐮 😍

Disliked Not being able to take a pet cow home with us!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Yes best pitches.
The cows have told me they enjoyed their bedtime stories!
Great photos
Glad you had a good time.
See you soon
Norman

Route directions

It is advisable not to rely on satnavs. Take junction 8 off the M20 Motorway and follow the signs to Leeds Castle. Pass the castle's main entrance and continue through the village of Leeds and through the village of Langley. At the cross roads by the Plough PH and Youngs car sales, turn left towards Sutton Valence and Headcorn. Continue through Sutton Valence down the steep hill. At the bottom of the hill just before the petrol station and car sales, turn left into Heniker Lane. Continue down this winding lane to the T junction. Turn right passing a row of cottages. After a short distance there are a large set of brown gates, this is Roundoak farm. There is a security pad to the left of the gates. If you do not have the code call the farm using the contact details provided in your confirmation email.

Local attractions

Stick close to Kent or wander as far as France from Roundoak Farm: the likes of Leeds, Sissinghurst and Hever castles, Whitstable, Tunbridge Wells and Canterbury are all easy to get to, or you could motor along to Dover and get the ferry for a day trip to France. The local station is Headcorn, two miles away; from there, you can be at Charing Cross in central London in about an hour. Kentish vineyards are at Tenterden, Biddenden and Hush Heath – bring a bottle back to have with the barbie later – and another good and green local option is Bedgebury National Pinetum, a recreational and conservational arboretum with tree-lined paths for walking and cycling. The Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway runs for almost 14 miles from Hythe to Dungeness and the Kent & East Sussex Railway can be hailed at Tenterden for the 10-and-a-half-mile journey to Bodiam Castle. For old houses, have a day at Penshurst Place & Gardens, the fortified manor house with adventure playground, summer maze and regular events, and at Ightham Mote, the medieval manor house near Sevenoaks that's now managed by the National Trust. The Chatham Historic Dockyard is also well worth a look, and if you're around the coast you should also see Rye and Hastings: cliff railways at the latter very much a must.
