Highfield Heights Camping

Finding family stuff to do when staying at Highfield Heights Camping is never going to be a problem. You can take your offspring to feed the comical penguins at Birdworld (15 minutes’ drive), and follow the Gruffalo trail in Alice Holt Forest (20 minutes), where there’s also lakeside climbing frames and picnic spots. Older kids can also try out the treetop rope courses at Go Ape Alice Holt (25 minutes). However, chances are you’re going to be nagged until you promise them a day at Legoland Windsor Resort (45 minutes), with its thrill rides and worldwide landmarks in miniature. Thorpe Park (40 minutes) is another popular local attraction, offering plenty of adrenaline-inducing rollercoasters as well as waterslides. If you have any time left over for yourself, you can tour the Georgian elegance of Jane Austen’s House (25 minutes), where the renowned writer penned ‘Pride and Prejudice’. You may care to step further back in time at the photogenic ruins of medieval Waverley Abbey (five minutes), sitting on a meander in the River Wey and host of a yew tree thought to be thousands of years old.
