Bentley's Glamping

There’s simply loads of history around the site. Salisbury (half an hour’s drive) has many surprises, including a copy of the Magna Carta in the impressive Gothic-era cathedral, and the fine Iron Age hill fort and castle ruins at Old Sarum (25 minutes). Winchester (40 minutes) has a striking cathedral of its own, the famed Round Table of Arthurian legend in the medieval Great Hall, and peaceful walks along the River Itchen. Stonehenge (35 minutes) offers a glimpse into Neolithic England at its mysterious standing stones, as well as the chance to tour a replica stone-age village. For a change from history to natural history, you can see raptor flying displays and handle the birds at the Hawk Conservancy Trust Bird of Prey Centre (half an hour) or visit the Highland cows and rare Eriskay ponies at Cholderton Rare Breeds Farm (25 minutes). Anglers can test their mettle in Hampshire chalk streams or go fly fishing for trout and salmon on the River Test (20 minutes), and keen golfers can tee off at several golf courses within half an hour’s drive.
