Waldegrave Farm

Beautifully secluded site, amazing birds of prey. Woke up and saw deer one morning! Lovely hosts, gorgeous countryside and the perfect place to hide away. We will be back very soon

Peace and tranquility

nothing

Pay in advance then pull into a rather smart farm house entrance with an outside tap - handy if hiking and backpacking which is now definitely an option I’m thinking about. Drive through a hedge gap and this site is essentially just fields and meadows. No facilities whatsoever. You only gave what you bring. There’s just plenty of flat space, peace and quiet, and a few campfire rings. If everything you want is to have the feeling of wild camping freedom but with permission for a fire, this is perfect. If you need a loo of any kind without planning a trip to a local pub or cafe, you’ll be disappointed. Personally, I absolutely loved this site, and grinned the whole time. I took everything with me like I’d never been there. Next time I will bring a mountain bike and explore more of the local lanes. A wonderful break in total peace, thank you.

Nothing at all. I love sites like this that resist the lure of bell tents and shepherd huts etc for a simple approach. Long may it last!

Owner really kind, told us where to go and to choose a pitch we liked.
The pitches are really spaced out, we didn’t see or hear anyone the whole evening / night / morning.
LOTS of room for tents, a car, chairs etc round the fire pit.
Woodland and meadows to explore around the pitches.
Very secluded and quiet, it really was like we were alone in the middle of nowhere.
Wild camping, but you feel very safe!
If you’re looking for somewhere out of the way, quiet, secluded and away from others.. this is the place.
(Note there is phone signal, internet and calls, but it’s poor and drops out. We liked this as we weren’t tempted to go on our phones - but if you needed to contact people you can manage to get some signal)
Overall - amazing stay and would definitely come back!

The site was Fantastic. Quiet, rural and secluded. Exactly what we wanted. Will definitely be back

The absolute seclusion of the site!
Quarter of a mile down a hidden track we came to our spot, caught between a little Brook and a huge ancient oak to one side and a field on the other, nobody around, beautiful!
With a fire blazing we could watch the stars, and were serenaded by owls, one of which was in the old oak above us!
Next morning we breakfasted to the screeching of buzzards!
Utterly magical.

I fell in the Brook and got soggy socks, hardly the campsites fault and quite funny!

The very chilled vibe. Very private, no other campers when we were there but even if there were it would have been private because there was a good distance between pitches. Excellent place to camp. Good space for camp fires. Only around 40 min walk to Hartest with a great pub with veggie and vegan options.

Nothing.

This is the best campsite I've ever stayed on. True solitude and tranquility. Incredible. Saw deer, heard many owls. Relaxed more than I have done in ages. No humans - just nature. Yeah - there are no facilities. I've never done this before, but found it to be no problem whatsoever.
