Woodland Farm Glamping

If you’re looking to entertain the infants, head to The Hop Farm (15 minutes’ drive) for a host of family-friendly attractions including huge inflatable trampolines, laser tag, a 4D cinema and a petting zoo. Winnie-the-Pooh was dreamt up during a dawdle at Ashdown Forest (35 minutes), so this is a worthwhile spot for wanders with the tiddlers. Detour to The Llama Park enroute (25 minutes) to feed the furry creatures (and take them off on a walk if you’re feeling brave…). Here in the warmer months? Make a splash at Bewl Water’s aquapark (15 minutes) or pootle around in a pedalo on the surface of the lake. For other leisurely options, set off to the brightly coloured botanical displays at Scotney Castle (15 minutes) and Sissinghurst Castle Garden (25 minutes) or admire the turrets and moats of Hever and Leeds’ fortresses (30 and 40 minutes, respectively). Afterwards, soak up the High Weald scenery during a restful ride on the Spa Valley Railway, which chugs between Royal Tunbridge Wells and Eridge (15 and 20 minutes); for folk fonder of the coast than the countryside, the beaches of Winchelsea and Hastings are 45 minutes away.
