  • Glamping in 40 acres of a family-run farm in the Wiltshire countryside
  • Westonbirt Arboretum 15 minutes' drive; Bath city centre 40 minutes
  • Gorgeous rural views 15 minutes' walk from Malmesbury town centre
The Weaver family have been living at Wiltshire’s Whychurch Farm since 1899 – and even a quick look at the pics should give you a few clues as to why they’d want to hang around in the same spot for such a long time. What was once a dairy and beef farm has now diversified to house a lovely glamping site, set in the fenced-off top corner of a 40-acre field called The Worthies. Although the farm doesn’t have its own cattle any more, a local farmer grazes his cows on the fields – so you’ll be able to watch them going about their lives while you’re sitting out soaking up the views and fresh air (and you might catch a glimpse of the roe deer that live here too…) The countryside atmosphere is obviously a huge draw for this place – but in fact, so is the proximity of handy town amenities. Despite the thoroughly rural views, it’s only a short 15-minute stroll to Malmesbury town centre for shops, pubs and places to eat. There’s easy access to the M4 from here too, so journeys in and out are straightforward (as are day trips to places like Bath, Westonbirt Arboretum and the Cotswolds). Beds are provided in all the units, but please note you’ll need to bring your own bedding and towels along. Sensor lights are set up all around the site to help you find your way, but it’s a good idea to pack a torch anyway – and you’re welcome to bring a barbecue or firepit too (although you’ll not be able tot use them on windy days because of the fire risk posed by nearby straw and hay barns).

Worthies Wagon shepherd's hut (four person)

Liked: Lovely converted wagon which the children loved. Nice quiet site with great views and a nice walk into Malmesbury. No entertainment facilities for the children but for a short stay they were happy to just run around and play outside.

Powered gravel caravan site

Liked: Small, farm site in a lovely setting, approximately 20 minutes walk across the fields into Malmesbury. Very helpful owner who met us on arrival to show us to our pitch. Supermarket and garage very close by for all your needs. Overall it's a lovely site and very reasonably priced.

Disliked: Although it didn't have any effect on us personally as we have facilities in our motorhome, I would imagine the fact that there's only 1 loo and 1 shower could be a bit of a pain during busy periods.

Unpowered grass site

Liked: Scenery Pretty town Clean facilities

Disliked: Only one toilet and one shower for whole campsite so had to wait to use. A couple of families dominated the campsite space and facilities.

From the manager: Hi I am so sorry your stay here at Whychurch Glamping wasn't as enjoyable as it should have been. It was quite exceptional that weekend, one with the weather being so cold and wet and campers with families asking for extra gazebos etc I appreciate your review and I have decreased the number of pitches. It is a shame you didn't raise this with me during your stay as I could have given you some other options or changed a few things for you. I don't have a reception here, I live on site and I am always about and at the end of the phone. We do have 2 toilets here but I appreciate having 1 shower there can be a little wait depending on the time of day. I would like to invite you back and hopefully give you a very different experience. Many thanks Caroline

Unpowered grass site

Liked: A very well kept welcoming site whatever the weather, grass and hedging all neat and tidy. The facilities block was fully equipped and included the use of items so annoyingly sometimes overlooked i.e. basic cutlery, mug etc.. The thought and kindness of the owners by adding use of electric kettle etc showed great thought was given to making any stay enjoyable. Site Information and that for the many local attractions clearly displayed. We have no hesitation on an early return or recommending the site to friends.
