Moving Mountains Basecamp

For a break from all the madcap antics on site you could simply wander out for a walk in the rural surrounds – for starters, the site is close to the 100-mile Cotswold Way and the rather more manageable nine-mile Dramway Path. There are four golf courses within 15 minutes’ drive if you fancy carrying on the spirit of competition, and a swimming pool 10 minutes away in Yate if you’d rather cool off a bit. Set out on foot to get to Dyrham Park in a couple of hours or drive over there in 15 minutes; either way, it’s worth a trip to this impressive country pile with its own deer park and elegant gardens. For more pretty sights, try Westonbirt Arboretum (25 minutes’ drive), Lacock Abbey (35 minutes) or the bird-filled wetlands of WWT Slimbridge (40 minutes). Aiming for something more urban? Make a break for Bristol (20 minutes) for the SS Great Britain and the excellent M Shed and We The Curious museums, or head to Bath (half an hour) for stunning architecture and the famed Roman baths.
