Our pitch for bank holiday weekend
The farm house
A lovely sunny day

  • Pitch where you like at a back to basics farm site near Wells
  • Wookey Hole and Cheddar Gorge within a 10-minute drive
  • Pub two minutes' walk away; water supply and toilets on site
Let your troubles ebb away at Ebborways Farm near Wells, in the scenic heart of Somerset. Perfect for those in pursuit of an authentic camping experience, simplicity is the key here: it’s just you, a field – and a campfire if you like – in sumptuous, serene surroundings. Facilities are limited to a water supply and composting loos, and you can pitch wherever you like, alone or in groups. However, you’re not too far from a bit of civilisation: it’s a short walk to a handful of pubs – including a couple that do top-notch food – and a farm shop, in the local village of Priddy (and pretty it is, too). Fire packs (matches, firelighters, kindling and logs), as well as nets of logs, are available to buy on arrival. Please note that phone signal is very limited here, so you may wish to use the internet for research before you arrive.

Sandy G.

Primitive grass and earth campsite

Liked A good site as a base for a longer stay with pretty Wells on the doorstep, Glastonbury Tor, Weston-Super-Mare and Burnham on Sea around half hour drive. I liked the quietness of the site, there was only a handful of campers during my stay. 3 large fields to choose from. Staff were lovely and check in was easy, call at the farm bed and breakfast first then go next door to the camping fields. No check out time which is a good idea as it gives the tent time to dry out! The Queen Victoria is a lovely, cosy Pub 5-10 mins walk down the lane, with parking on the opposite side of the road. There's also a farm a few mins drive away that serves a great choice of breakfasts and has indoor seating for around 35 people, a lounge area and outside seating too. This is a Back to Nature site so doesn't have all the Mod Cons of the more expensive sites, toilets are compostable! But they didn't smell and there was plenty of loo roll available and saw dust! All in all, a lovely site with views of the Mendip Hills, beautiful sunsets and sunrises and the sound of sheep and cows!

Disliked NOTHING!

Local attractions

Given the proximity of Bath and Wells, there’s an obvious temptation to regale your companions with choice one-liners from Blackadder; but pause for breath and you’ll discover that both have more celebrated charms than the baby-eating bishop. Bath probably needs less of an introduction: think Roman baths, Georgian grandeur, Jane Austen, rugby and culture aplenty; while Wells, which holds the accolade of England’s smallest city, is a medieval gem with a thirteenth-century cathedral, a moated bishop’s palace, and a lively twice-weekly market. Also highly recommended is a trip to the spectacular Cheddar Gorge, which offers something for all ages: fabulous views; brilliant caving and rock climbing; walks up Jacob’s Ladder; open-top bus tours; a clutch of family attractions; eerie stalactite caverns; and, of course, more cheese than you can shake a stick at. Keen walkers will be delighted by the proximity of the Mendips (Ebborways Farm is close to the West Mendip Way, which runs to the Ebbor Gorge nature reserve); or, for those who prefer life on four wheels, there are loads of fascinating places an easy drive away: atmospheric Glastonbury, the colossal caves and family attractions at Wookey Hole, the vibrant maritime city of Bristol, the fantastic safari and adventure park at Longleat, and the sandy beaches of Weston-super-Mare. Finally, should you feel the need to splash a bit of cash, there are more than 90 outlet shops at the Clarks Village centre, in the nearby village of Street.
