Based on quiet country roads and sitting just on the outskirts of Inwardleigh village, which has a picturesque church, whilst Folly Gate (the next village) has a pub popular for its Sunday roasts. Lots of nature visits the site, Buzzards and Red Kites circle overhead whilst you might catch a glimpse of a White Hart or its Red cousins roaming around. At night you'll be able to star-gaze from a dark sky spot. A simple site, you will be off grid with no showering facilities. Back to basics. No facilities for freezing No onsite reception on-site
