South West Glamping

Walks around the local area are likely to take you through some lovely scenery and have you spotting a variety of wildlife too. If the kids are keen to meet cute farm animals as well, take them along to Foxdown Children’s Farm (15 minutes’ drive), where they can feed and pet a small group of friendly animals. Axe Valley Wildlife Park (15 minutes) is also a good option, with more exotic beasts like wallabies and lemurs. For more grownup days out, perhaps a stroll around Forde Abbey (25 minutes) or Montacute House (45 minutes) is your style? Alternatively, choose a meal or cooking course at River Cottage (15 minutes) for foodies, or a tour of Palmers Brewery (15 minutes) for beer drinkers. There’s something for all ages down at the coast, of course, whether you choose a good hike at Golden Cap (10 minutes), crazy golf and boat trips in Lyme Regis (15 minutes) or the Sea Life Centre and sandy beach in Weymouth (45 minutes).
