  • Peaceful Somerton pop-up campsite overlooking the Somerset Levels
  • Haynes Motor Museum and Glastonbury Tor both 20 minutes’ drive
  • Dog-friendly wildlife haven with basic facilities and limited power
Spectacular sunsets, stunning views over the Somerset Levels and a simple, utterly peaceful vibe. Sound inviting? You’d better get yourselves off to Grove Hill Campsite in South Somerset, a no-frills pop-up with hilltop grass pitches set in a wildlife haven sheltered by young trees. You may well get to see deer, foxes, rabbits and a variety of birds during your stay, so do remember to pack those binoculars. It would be a good idea to add a battery pack and torches to your packing list as well; simple facilities on site include washing-up facilities, a shower and WC, but there is only a limited power supply so you’ll need some light to find your way around after dark. Dogs are very welcome at Grove Hill, just please keep them on leads while you’re on site. There are loads of local walks from the pitches and on the Somerset Levels, so they’ll certainly get plenty of exercise. The historic market town of Somerton (10 minutes’ drive) has a basics store where you can pick up barbecue essentials, and if you’re not feeling the alfresco cooking vibe, the sprinkling of pubs and takeaways will keep starvation at bay.

Local attractions

Military history your thing? Hotfoot it to the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm Museum (15 minutes’ drive) where you can inspect hangars full of World War II planes and step onto the flight deck of Concorde 002. Petrol heads may prefer the UK’s biggest display of cars and motorbikes at Haynes Motor Museum (20 minutes), where Bugattis and sleek Ferraris are displayed alongside Smart cars and racing bikes. Hikers can clamber up to Cadbury Hillfort (25 minutes) for views across the Levels, or take on the steep slope up National Trust-owned Glastonbury Tor (20 minutes) – if you can face climbing to the top of the tower, your reward is glimpses across the Bristol Channel into Wales on clear days. Rather more gentle ambles can be had through the marshy landscape at RSPB Greylake (25 minutes), a nature reserve home to snipe and lapwings as well as swans and birds of prey. For a change of pace, popular local shopping spots include the designer bargains at Clarks Village (15 minutes), and the cool art galleries of Bruton (half an hour).
