Fan of watery views? Perhaps boat trips or riverside bike rides? Take a trip to Cuckoo Farm Campsite, where the Chater river flows alongside the fields… and where there's easy access to even more aquatic activities on and around Rutland Water, a 10-minute drive from the site.
Roland and Rebecca, the owners of this little gem in Rutland, run an organic farm next door with pigs, turkeys, chickens, a small pack of fallow deer and a herd of Valais black-and-white sheep: visitors are invited to book tours and walks on the farm to book the greet the animals and scoop up fresh eggs. Farm products, including organic pork and lamb, can be purchased at the site store – and since barbecues and campfires are allowed, it surely follows that alfresco meals will be on the cards.
This is a vast place with a whole heap of space where you can chill out and where the kids can run around. The facilities are kept simple and clean: hot showers and toilets are on hand, as is a washing-up place for pots and pans.
A short stroll gets you to the banks of the Chater, where you can fish or paddle; also within walking distance is the village of Ketton, where there’s a food pub and a shop (or drive there in five minutes). Because of its proximity to Rutland Water Nature Reserve, the sky above Cuckoo Farm is often full of buzzards, kites, falcons (and of course cuckoos), so bring your binoculars along.

Local attractions
Osprey, teal, crested grebe… alongside the rich variety of feathered life in Rutland Water Nature Reserve, 10 minutes' drive away, there's trout fishing to be had, plus windsurfing, sailing, boat cruises on the Rutland Belle and miles of paths for hikers and bikers to explore. Even fans of invertebrates and reptiles are included, with 75 species of crawling, scuttling and slithering things at Bugtopia, accompanied by meerkats and racoon dogs.
Castle fans and history buffs will be kept busy, beetling round the solid brickwork of 12th-century Oakham Castle (15 minutes' drive), the palatial Tudor pile of Burghley House (20 minutes) and the dungeons of Newark Castle (50 minutes). Newark’s National Civil War Centre and Air Museum make the town top of the list for time travellers.
For a different sort of journey, drive 15 minutes to Wansford for a puff on the steam-powered Nene Valley Railway, or explore the universe at the National Space Centre in Leicester (50 minutes).
A punt down the river in Cambridge, an hour away, makes a pretty fine way to see the city and its oldest colleges, while the various museums offer everything from polar exploration to Persian carpets to particle accelerators.
