Love Lane Camping

1 review

Dog-friendly Kent countryside site run by a local farmer
A 25-minute walk to The Big Cat Sanctuary; 35 minutes to an aerodrome
Fishing pond on site; walk to Headcorn’s pubs, shops and train station

Bring your fishing rods, walking shoes and a bicycle to this field in the Kent countryside, tenderly run and cared for by a local farmer. With its own gorgeous fishing pond, Love Lane Camping is the place to take a step back and take things at a slower pace (fishing rod in hand, if you wish). The relaxing, dog-friendly site is just across the lane from the main farm and the field where the family has farmed sheep and cattle for generations. An easy walk will get you from Love Lane Camping to country pubs, a train station, a big cat sanctuary and even an aerodrome. The local village, Headcorn, is 25 minutes’ walk from the site and has pubs and shops for getting all your supplies (as this is a back to basics site with just a portable toilet, remember to buy some water and snacks). Headcorn train station is just 20 minutes’ walk away too and has links to London and Ashford. Headcorn Aerodrome, 35 minutes walk away, runs pleasure flights for those who are after a thrill. Otherwise, just stroll down to watch the planes and helis come and go. The Big Cat Sanctuary, 25 minutes’ walk away, has big cats such as jaguars, tigers and leopards. It runs guided tours or experiences like hand-feeding for brave folks. If you’ve thought to bring your bicycle, it’ll be especially easy to get about. The site’s local pub, which has been standing since the 1500s and serves food and local ales and lagers, is a 10-minute cycle away, a 35-minute walk or a quick five minutes by car.

Local attractions

Let yourself pretend like you’re living in the 1900s. Leeds Castle (20 minutes’ drive) has preserved the old times the best it can, and it also runs falconry displays and has a miniature golf course for days by the turrets. Developed by the writer Vita Sackville-West, Sissinghurst Castle Garden (15 minutes) has impressive and artistic gardens. One way to acquaint yourself with the local flavours is by tasting the local wine, cider and juices at the Biddenden Vineyards (10 minutes). A self-guided or private tour will provide a peak into the vineyards and wine-making process. With the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty from 20 minutes’ drive and the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty from 10 minutes’ drive, there’s plenty of scope for scenic hikes while staying here too. The High Weald AONB has medieval manors and old farms.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Nice little field with a pond. Portable toilet. Horses in the next field and could hear sheep. You can see different planes, paragliders etc.
