No-frills meadow camping on a smallholding near Battle in East Sussex
A 15-minute drive to Battle Abbey and 20 minutes to Pevensey Bay beach
Wide open dark sky, great for stargazing or watching the sunrise

If you’ve always fancied discovering the historic sights in 1066 Country, now’s your chance. Base yourself in the pre-erected bell tents at Flower Meadow Glamping, near Battle in East Sussex, and you’ll be right among ruined castles, battlefields and ancient towns. This is a compact site set in hay fields down a rural lane, with plenty of livestock including horses (not available for riding), sheep, a blind goose and a few hens – the latter often provide fresh eggs for breakfast fry ups. The owners can also supply sausages, beef and lamb burgers from a local farmer for your barbecue. Don’t want to cook? Stroll to the pub or stock up on snacks at the village shop in Ninfield (10 minutes’ walk). Back on site, no-frills facilities include a shared portable toilet, gas-fired shower and an outside kitchen with a sink and gas hob. Firepits and barbecues are available (along with logs and charcoal) for a small extra charge. There are solar lights around the site and fairy lights in the tent, but please note, there is no wifi or electricity on site, so bring a decent torch with you (and warn any teens you may be bringing…). A few house rules: as there are animals around, dogs are not allowed. Parking is not permitted next to the tents, but there’s a car park at the lower end of the camping field. And as hay will be cut in the summer, please keep to the mown paths so it doesn’t get flattened before harvest.
