  • Dog-friendly Wiltshire retreat on a smallholding just off the A350
  • A 15-minute drive to the Kennet and Avon Canal; 35 minutes to Bath
  • A five-minute drive from pubs and takeaways; walking trails nearby
Towpath adventures, country walks, Roman baths and laidback pub crawls? If you’re liking the sound of all of the above, Littleton Retreat has the recipe. Located on a smallholding just off the A350 in Littleton, Semington, your Wiltshire wanderlust will be well treated here. Make your way to the Kennet and Avon Canal, 15 minutes’ drive away, for peaceful towpath bike rides and days of boating, or take yourself off-piste onto various local walks. Melksham, the local town, is 45 minutes’ walk from the site if you fancy a takeaway. Or perhaps you might want to plot out your own route for a relaxed, daytime pub crawl (the first pub is a short drive or cycle away) in and around Melksham. Littleton Retreat is a well-maintained site with mainly level grassy pitches. It’s a simple sort of getaway – the type where guests can fully unwind without too many distractions (unless you count the towpath adventures and Bath’s many Roman sites and cobbled streets, 35 minutes’ drive away, that is). The facilities consist of toilets, showers, two outdoor washing-up areas with hot water, a small freezer in a camping shed, several drinking water points, a grey waste point, an Elsan point and a recycling waste point.

Power optional grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Littleton Retreat was spotlessly clean, well kept, and really peaceful there is a main road nearby but this did not bother me. Spacious pitch with room for my tent amd car, the bench was a nice touch. The electric hookup worked great, and the facilities were immaculate. Just what I needed a weekend away somewhere to sit, relax, and unwind. It was the first time for my dog to go camping and she loved it, ideal for couples will definitely be bringing my wife back. Highly recommended!"

Power optional grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Small, well maintained camp. Loved the park for the kids, trampoline massive hit! Relaxed atmosphere. Kept clean. We had a bench with our pitch which is a great addition

Disliked Road noise was a lot, the site is so close to the noisy main road, pitches close together but understandably being a small site.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for your review glad you enjoyed your stay and the children enjoyed their time, thanks Ady

Local attractions

What will Wiltshire serve you up? There’s medieval architecture, a brewery and a working set of Shire horses in Devizes (15 minutes’ drive) – that might make you feel like you’re back in the olden’ days. The same goes for Trowbridge (10 minutes), which is one of 23 Magna Carta towns (very important places 800 years back in time). Nowadays, it has a splendid weekly market and great shopping streets. Tick off a bucket list item while you’re making your way around, as the stone circle of Stonehenge (half an hour) isn’t too far away either. Avebury (half an hour) has another ancient stone circle, which is part of the Avebury World Heritage Site. If you’re not quite done with the historical itinerary, Bradford-on-Avon (15 minutes) on the river Avon has an ancient bridge, 19th-century cloth mills and old weavers’ cottages. There’s an Elizabethan manor house in Longleat (half an hour) too, but another big attraction there is the drive-in safari park where monkeys can clamber over your car and lions can stride past your vehicle.
