  • Well-equipped site on a working farm overlooking the Chiltern Hills
  • A 15-minute drive from Aylesbury and 40 minutes from Oxford
  • Award winning café-restaurant, bar, butchery and farm shop with a deli
Wake up to see the sun rising over the Chiltern Hills while listening to the gentle murmur of sheep, pigs and deer during a stay at Orchard View Farm, a scenic Buckinghamshire spot within 15 minutes’ drive of Aylesbury, Thame and Princes Risborough. Not that guests will ever need to venture to the town for food if they don't fancy moving – eats and drinks are sorted courtesy of the site’s fantastically stocked farm shop and deli or by dining at the Trough Garden Kitchen. This café and restaurant serves up a range of meals, including those made from ingredients sourced at the site’s award-winning butchery and cooked in woodburning ovens. There's also a bar. Looking after nature is just as important to the owners of this small farm as serving up tasty grub – they’ve worked hard to create a serene and scenic environment in the grounds by planting wildflower meadows, more than 100 trees and over 350 metres of mixed native hedging. Orchard View Farm is five minutes’ drive from the western edges of the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so it's safe to suggest that the local area is also rather pretty for walks. Crime fiction fan? Or just fond of cute country cottages? Head off on a self-guided Midsomer Murders-themed tour of nearby villages (you can download a trail map from the internet). Oxford is 40 minutes’ drive from the site and central London takes an hour and 20 minutes to reach.

Liked: Great to have cafe facilities on site, and a farm shop.

Disliked: Landscaping will mature but at present it feels a bit too much like parking in a field.

Liked: The on site shop had everything you could want. Got the best steak from the butcher I've ever had. Showers large with perfect temperature. All the staff were really helpful. Definitely coming back here again!

Disliked: I would have liked to have hook up but wasn't the end of the world. Besides that, I honestly couldn't think of anything.

Lawson's Lane unpowered grass caravan site

Liked: James! What a lovely chap. Fab site, clean and tidy. Felt super safe. Showers were lovely! We didn’t use the Wi-Fi as it’s not something we consider appropriate for us as a family when touring. I have rated 5 anyway as they shouldn’t be downgraded for my own lack of knowledge.

Disliked: The people in the next field and their “private event” the woman who was there to was super rude! The chemical toilet disposal liquid was coming up through the manhole and these things are much better non confined as it stops much of the smells. Would think that’ll be fixed asap though James clearly works very hard for the site.

Local attractions

Ease yourself into your escape slowly by setting off on walks through the Chiltern Hills (five minutes’ drive). This Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is a 324-square-mile chalk escarpment running from the River Thames in Oxfordshire to Hitchin in Hertfordshire. Highlights here include Wendover Woods, a Forestry Commission collection of trees with fitness and cycling trails, while four miles away (and 15 minutes’ drive from the park) is Aylesbury with its hodgepodge of Georgian, Jacobean and Tudor architecture. Browse the Bucks County Museum’s local history and culture exhibits, making sure to stop by the Roald Dahl Children’s Gallery for displays championing the characters from the novelist’s books. Just outside the town, wander around Waddesdon Manor, a French-inspired chateau with gorgeous gardens, or turn back the clock to the 1940s at Bletchley Park (40 minutes), the country house where the Allies broke the enigma code during the Second World War. If city trips are what you fancy, set off for the compelling colleges of Oxford (35 minutes) or the spectacular sights of Central London (an hour and 20 minutes).
