  • Touring pitches next to a family pub in Lydford-on-Fosse, Somerset
  • A 25-minute drive to Glastonbury, half an hour to Wookey Hole Caves
  • Pub serves lunch and dinner and hosts live-music events
After a touring site right next to a family-friendly pub in Somerset? Look no further than the friendly and quiet The Cross Keys Inn, which makes a handy base for visiting Glastonbury (25 minutes’ drive) if you’re needing a base for the famous music festival. The pub is in the Somerset village of Lydford-on-Fosse, between Yeovil (20 minutes) and Glastonbury. It has two bars, an open fire and a wifi connection, and serves lunches and dinners (please call to book in advance) as well as real Somerset ales and ciders. Live-music events are occasionally hosted in the function room, which opens out onto the beer garden. The pitches are a short distance from the pub, so although there may be more noise than usual during live events, staff are more than happy to allocate a quieter pitch for you on request. Facilities on the camping field include drinking water, a chemical disposal point, a recycling area, loos and showers. When you’re off to explore the many highlights of Somerset and the south-west, the main A303 is a handy three-minute drive away.

What customers say

Great for couples! Staff are legend, pitches are mint, and the pub's got awesome grub and ales. Peaceful spot, handy for getting around. Facilities are decent, if a bit old-school. Pub's the star!

Liked Great site. The check in staff were friendly and helpful. We ate at the pub both nights. The food was lovely. Definitely worth booking a table as it was super busy. There is road noise and train noise in the day but it didn’t bother us at night. There is a Greggs and shop around the corner. I don’t think there is WiFi but I can’t deselect the option.

Unpowered grass caravan site

Liked Stayed here for second time in a couple of months in our motorhome. Came specifically for the beer and music festival after a dog walk around Lydford. It was a well run event with lots of beers and ciders to choose from. We planned to eat the stone baked pizzas and were not disappointed. Freshly cooked and to my request by the chef who was happy to chat.

The staff were friendly as always. A great little site for a stop off and food/drink.

Disliked Have mentioned before that service point for water and grey waste could be better sited as difficult for motorhomes to get to.

Liked Nice and quiet flat site with spacious pitches. 2 excellent showers, however only 1 toilet and urinal. Not an issue for us as site wasn't too busy. Dark skies made a clear night special. Behind a lovely pub with enclosed beer garden and top notch pizzas. Good range of beers and ciders.

Local attractions

As well as being handy for Glastonbury (25 minutes’ drive), the site is close to the teeny city of Wells and the dramatic limestone formations at Wookey Hole Caves (both half an hour). Ilchester’s Fleet Air Arm Museum (15 minutes) has a huge collection of military and civilian craft, while there are hundreds of cars and motorbikes on display at the Haynes International Motor Museum (10 minutes) as well as lots of activities for kids. Further afield, Bath (55 minutes) is a handsome Georgian city with plenty to keep visitors busy for the day. It’s home to the spectacular Roman Baths complex, an abbey with jewel-coloured stained-glass windows and a rare treat at Thermae Bath Spa, with city views from its rooftop pool. The Royal Bath and West Showground (15 minutes) has a year-around schedule of events from flea markets to the famed Royal Bath and West Show. Held in late May or early June, this three-day jamboree celebrates the best of British farming and Somerset produce at pop-up food and drink stalls, as well as staging show-jumping competitions and Shire horse parades.
