Glamp Pitching It - Glastonbury

Chances are your stay will be all about catching your favourite bands at Glastonbury Festival, but should you fancy a change of scenery, hit the stylish restaurants and art galleries in smart little Bruton (15 minutes’ drive), or browse the hippie shops in historic Glastonbury town (20 minutes). If you’re keen to bag a bargain, make for the discount stores at Clarks Village (25 minutes). For a spot of Somerset sightseeing, go deep underground to tour subterranean caverns filled with limestone formations at Wookey Hole Caves (25 minutes), or admire the ornate, gothic-style facade of Wells Cathedral (15 minutes), bristling with gargoyles. Make a day of it on a driving safari through the big-cat enclosures at Longleat (half an hour), where you can also take a boat cruise across the ornamental lake to the Gorilla Enclosure or wander among colourful flower beds in the Secret Garden. If you need to rest up your weary feet, board the East Somerset Railway (10 minutes) to relax as the steam train chugs through wooded countryside.
