  • Peaceful Hertfordshire farm site on 22 acres three miles from Tring
  • Wendover Woods or Whipsnade Zoo 15 minutes' drive away
  • Simple pitches with views over farmland and grazing sheep
Hoping for a quick rural escape from urban life? Or perhaps somewhere that you can have an open-air stay but with the option of heading into the city for a day trip? Either way, heading into the Hertfordshire countryside for a stay at Meadow Brook Farm is a fine idea – this spacious site is in the Chiltern Hills about three miles from the centre of Tring (a handy place for shops and places to eat, as well as the station with train services to/from London). Despite being so close to useful town amenities, this is a fabulously rural spot, with sheep and geese on the 22-acre farm and open countryside all around. You’ll be staying in a well-kept grass meadow with trees around the edges and streams to look out for. Not wanting to disturb the natural surroundings too much, the owners have kept facilities to a minimum, just installing a barbecue area and a portable toilet for guests to use. Out to explore the countryside? Along one side of the meadow is Wilstone Reservoir, where you can pick up a path leading to a cluster of reservoirs in Marsworth – and the Grand Union Canal runs close by too, with a towpath punctuated by several waterside pubs. Wendover Woods, Ivinghoe Beacon and the Ridgeway trail are other options for getting out and about nearby.

Liked: Super natural basic campsite close to Whipsnade Zoo and Bletchley Park. Good pubs within easy reach and walk either into village or along tow path. Welcoming host who even kept us updated of possible traffic delays in the area. Would thoroughly recommend.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: Very nice peaceful campsite on a farm. Basic facilities. Just a toilet and tap. They have Barbeques that can be used. Very quiet the first night there were only two pitches and the second night 5 pitches. Loved it. The owner was amazing and very helpful and friendly.

Disliked: Nothing really but be warned if you are not prepared to rough it for a day or two. No showers.
