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 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.

    Non-electric grass and earth pitch

    Liked: Large flat grass pitches in spacious field; basic but clean and adequate facilities; friendly and helpful. At dusk we had a delightful 20 minutes watching a barn owl hunting on the site- a measure of the quiet and calm in this very rural location

    Liked: Didn't get the chance to stay as we broke down on the way there, but called ahead to let them know and cancel the booking, and they were so lovely over the phone, said that if we did manage to get back on the road, we were welcome, didn't matter the time of arrival Really hope we get the chance again soon, and actually make it there this time!

    Non-electric grass and earth pitch

    Liked: Spacious fields with lots of beautiful scenery, clean compostable toilets. The area was separated into 3 fields Quiet Medium Loud They worked out exactly like that, we had a great pleasure in staying in the first field and heard absolutely no noise all night long. Wicked club down the road and shops local for supplies. Great escape to the countryside

    Disliked: Net bags of wood were over priced!

    Non-electric grass and earth pitch

    Liked: This campsite is local to me and well located. The second field allows you to have some off lead time for dogs which was great for mine as he loves being off lead and chasing his frisbee. Nice views and easy to find. Friendly staff. Decent amount of water taps dotted about the site. A good amount of composting toilets which were clean and not smelly.

    Disliked: The grass was quite long across the site. The hounds from a local hunt kennels woke us up very early with lots of barking and howling which was really annoying as it really disturbed my dog. The doors on the toilets in field two were a bit tricky; firstly myself and other camper couldn't get them open, and once open, they wouldn't lock or stay closed! Unfortunately I think I got off to a bad start on this site as when I arrived I paid and was told I could pitch anywhere. I didn't want to be too isolated as I am a lone female and wanted to be near the wooded area so I could hang my camping shower from a branch so I decided on a space between two caravans which was plenty big enough for my tent leaving plenty of space on either side. I was then approached by a man from one of the caravans who told me I shouldn't pitch there as the man in the other caravans would want to park his car there. I was a bit puzzled as there was plenty of space in front of the caravans for car parking. I told him that I had been told I could pitch my tent there and he then said it was "campsite politics". I decided to move my tent as I didn't feel comfortable there but in reality I think it had soured my opinion of the site. I ended up leaving a day early as I just didn't feel comfortable after that.

    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: breathtaking views; brilliant caving and rock climbing; walks up Jacob’s Ladder; open-top bus tours; a clutch of family attractions; eerily beautiful 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. If you’re visiting in August, you may be lucky enough to coincide with Priddy’s annual sheep fair; this historic event, with animal demonstrations, a funfair and more, attracts a whopping 10,000 visitors each year. Finally, should you feel the need to indulge in our national pastime, there are more than 90 outlet shops at the Clarks Village centre, in the nearby village of Street.
