  • Back to basics pop-up site on a working sheep farm
  • A five-minute drive from the Quantock Hills; surrounded by trails
  • Pub 10 minutes’ walk away; barbecues and firepits welcome on site
This gorgeous meadow with views of the Quantock Hills and Charlinch village has been much-loved by generations of grazing sheep. For over a hundred years, the meadow has been farmed by the family for the sheep’s home or used to make hay. Now, it has a new lease of life as Charlynch Meadow Camping, a pop-up off-grid site… This place should very quickly get the stamp of approval from budding and keen hikers, as it is just one and a half miles from the edge of the Quantock Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There’s fab access to footpaths through the countryside (so, pack your jam sandwiches and whatnot, and get walking pronto…). The family will be pleased to point you in the right direction, whether ambitious routes are in order, or the local pubs are your target rather than a pre-packed picnic assortment. The nearest pub is in Four Forks village, 10 minutes’ walk away. If you’re after local produce for your sandwich fillings or barbecues and firepits (which are permitted on site), there’s a farm shop 35 minutes’ walk away. For getting further afield in Somerset, Junction 23 and Junction 24 on the M5 are just 20 minutes’ drive away. Of course, the Somerset coast might be one of the first spots you call upon… the seaside towns of Minehead and Weston-super-Mare are 45 minutes’ drive away and Burnham on Sea is half an hour’s drive away. Rockpooling and foraging for fossils can provide hours of entertainment on Kilve Beach, 25 minutes’ drive away, too.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked We booked a very last minute stay here over the Bank Holiday weekend and ended up staying a second night as it was a gem of a find. It’s perfectly simple - nice field, clean portaloo and a tap with drinking water. Really peaceful location but also not far from civilisation! Rachel and Dan were great hosts too. We would definitely return if staying in the area again, and fully recommend!

Beautiful scenery, lovely and quiet and peaceful, very clean and well stocked…

Local attractions

Getting your outdoors fix is easy as can be… the WWT Steart Marshes (15 minutes’ drive), which are frequented by seabirds are one spot, and Exmoor National Park (35 minutes) is another, with miles and miles of moorland trails. Doniford Farm Park (25 minutes) is another jolly good spot, especially for families, as it has animals, play areas and a café. The Walled Gardens of Cannington Tea Room (10 minutes) has a tearoom and plant shop, but adults can also ditch the coffee and indulge a little in the dry white wines of Oatley Vineyard (five minutes) if they so wish. Somewhat of a historian? Then, you may want to visit scientist and poet Andrew Crosse’s former home Fyne Court Cottage (15 minutes) or the former home of poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Coleridge Cottage (10 minutes).
