  • Off-grid Somerset farm campsite with spectacular Bristol Channel views
  • A 10-minute drive to Cheddar Gorge; 25 minutes to Weston-super-Mare
  • Grass pitches with basic facilities; five minutes’ walk to the pub
A working Somerset farm. Bristol Channel views. Back-to-basics family camping. Sounds like what you’re looking for? Here at Swallow Barn Farm, there's also a traditional country pub (with plenty of outdoor seating for balmy days) a mere five minutes’ stroll away. Grass pitches here are spacious, on sloping land and have spectacular views over Somerset countryside to the sea. Basic facilities include a single portable toilet; there is no electricity, however, so remember the torches for late-night wanderings around the site. Barbecues are allowed by the pitches, and you can pick up bits and pieces from the local essentials shop (10 minutes’ walk). A more extensively stocked store and garage is five minutes’ drive away. The site is 10 minutes’ walk from Rowberrow Forest and 15 minutes’ drive from the Mendip Hills National Landscape for hikes and cycle rides. You are welcome to bring your dogs to join in all the walkies fun, but please keep them under control when on site as there is livestock in adjacent fields.

What customers say

This is a no-frills campsite with a spacious, serene field and lovely views. Facilities are basic (portaloos, sink), perfect for a quiet, uncluttered getaway. A pub's nearby. Some found the sloping field tricky, especially when wet.

Liked A real back-to-basics campsite. You get a tap and a portaloo, a proper toilet block would be great, but was fine for my needs. Great views over the Bristol Channel and friendly neighbours.

Primitive grass and earth tent or RV campsite (sloping, maximum 6 metres)

Liked Lovely, rustic, back to basics, simple camping with a great view. We stayed for 1 night and it was perfect for us to go on to visit Cheddar Gorge the following day. Facilities were basic but enough for what we needed.

 Graeme B. 1 review

Primitive grass and earth tent or RV campsite (sloping, maximum 6 metres)

Liked Beautiful scenery, very spacious site, near an exceptionally good pub, and in an incredible area for walking, mountain biking, and horse riding. Basic site, but essential services are there. Site owners helpful when needed.

Disliked Nothing really, approach roads are narrow but we are talking Somerset!

Local attractions

Spectacular landscapes are everywhere in this corner of Somerset, and you can admire the Mendip Hills National Landscape (15 minutes’ drive) on foot or by bike. Try the Blackdown Hills National Landscape (50 minutes) for hikes to the Norman-era Castle Neroche and nearby Iron Age remains (55 minutes), or go hiking, climbing and caving in dramatic Cheddar Gorge (10 minutes). For more subterranean explorations, take the kids on tours of the caverns at Wookey Hole Caves (25 minutes); once back above ground, follow the animatronic dinosaur trail. Need to keep everyone busy? Get out on the dry ski slope at Mendip Activity Centre (five minutes), or join in bouts of archery and games of frisbee golf – if you fancy a round of the real thing, head to the 18-hole course 15 minutes’ drive away. If the weather’s good, you might consider piling everyone in the car and heading to the popular beach at Weston-super-Mare (25 minutes) for a dip in the Bristol Channel, or Uphill Sands (half an hour) for kitesurfing and sand yachting. The family-friendly beach at Burnham-on-Sea (25 minutes) is the spot for building sandcastles and paddling in shallow waves.
