- Simple pitches on five acres of a working dairy farm
- Two miles from the coast; 10 minutes' drive to Clovelly
- Dog-friendly site with farm tours; village five minutes' drive away
Ready to trade the trappings of modern life for fresh air, stunning views and starry night skies? Wend your way to West Welsford Wild Camping for all of this in a splendid location in the Hartland Heritage Coast area, close to the Devon/Cornwall border and a five-minute drive from the village amenities of Hartland.
A couple of miles from the coast and with grounds adjoining Bursdon Moor (an area well-known for its birdwatching), this is a particularly fine spot for hikers and wildlife spotters. Friendly owners Chris and Tracey want their guests to see as much as possible of the gorgeous coastline, so they offer drop-offs and pick-ups for those heading out for coast path walks.
It’s a back-to-basics setup here, with just the essentials covered (toilets and washing-up facilities, plus drinking water provided on arrival). There’s plenty of space to spread out around the five-acre plot, but the highlight here surely has to be the splendid views… by day you can look out over the rural surroundings all the way to the sea (with Lundy Island visible on a clear day), and by night there’s often a fine display of stars.
West Welsford is a working dairy farm, so you’ll need to abide by the countryside code and keep dogs on leads on the farm and in the surroundings. If you’d like to get to know a bit more about life on a dairy farm, Chris and Tracey are usually happy to organise a farm tour and show you such things as the robotic milking kit and the modern methods of slurry collecting.

Local attractions
Having spotted the sea from afar on site, no doubt you’ll want to get down to the shore as soon as possible. It’s a couple of miles to the South West Coast Path from the farm, with some local highlights being Hartland Quay, Speke’s Mill Mouth Waterfall and the cute little seaside village of Clovelly – all are about 10 minutes’ drive away (and make sure to stop by at elegant Hartland Abbey en route too).
For proper sandy beaches, you’ll want to head to stunning Sandymouth Bay or Duckpool Bay (both 20 minutes’ drive away) or make a beeline for Bude (also 20 minutes) and its surf waves and surf schools. Heading in the other direction, it’s a 25-minute drive to Westward Ho! In between all of these are plenty of places to get out for a scenic hike on the coast path.
Thrills of a different variety are on hand at The Milky Way Adventure Park (10 minutes) and The BIG Sheep (20 minutes), which has all sorts of cute creatures to meet as well as rides and other family attractions.
