It’s goodbye madding crowds and hello seclusion when you book a wild camping trip to Wick Dairy Farm, five minutes’ drive from the shops and restaurants of Langport in Somerset. Set on the edge of the Somerset Levels, the pitches are on a small west-facing field about 10 minutes’ stroll away from the farm buildings; access is via a drove (a grassy lane) and across a large field so you’ll need to leave your car parked near the farm and walk in. The pitches are lined by young trees so you can enjoy a bit of privacy and cosy up around your firepit in peace – firewood and kindling can be supplied for an extra fee. The campsite is also something of a wildlife haven, so you may get a glimpse of a variety of local fauna and birds: hares, deer, foxes, bats, barn owls, buzzards, kestrels and swallows (in season) – and occasionally a flock of wild cranes fly overhead from their roosts on the Levels. Please feel free to ask the farmers if you’d like to help feed their sheep – you’ll see the small flock grazing in fields surrounding the pitches. Sometimes there’s farm-produced honey for sale on site, and fresh eggs can often be purchased from the neighbours (that’s breakfast taken care of then). A final note: As this is a pop-up site, facilities are limited to a tap and a compost toilet. There’s no electricity, so don’t forget torches for getting about after dark.

Local attractions

Listen up cyclists, because Route 339 of the National Cycle Network runs right in front of the farm on its way from Bridgwater (55 minutes by bike) to join the South Somerset Cycleway (half an hour), a hedge-lined network of rural lanes leading to pretty market towns like Castle Cary (90 minutes) and Sherborne (two hours). There are no end of hiking trails around the Somerset Levels wetlands (five minutes’ drive); follow the River Parrett Trail along the water’s edge to the photogenic ruins of Benedictine Muchelney Abbey (an hour’s stroll) or walk peaty landscapes and woodlands teeming with wading birds from Avalon Marshes Centre (25 minutes’ drive). If you fancy getting out on the water, go paddleboarding or kayaking along the Parrett from the slipway at Huish Bridge (10 minutes). Mix a bit of culture into your holiday itinerary with a visit to the 16th-century mansion at National Trust - Montacute House (half an hour), home to a priceless collection of ornate Flemish tapestries – although the kids might prefer to climb aboard the Concorde or sit on the flight decks of fighter planes and helicopters at the Fleet Air Arm Museum (25 minutes).
