Moor Farm Campsite

In the market for an outing that’s a little fancier than your typical day out? You’ll be off into the old stomping grounds of fashionable society in Clumber Park (50 minutes’ drive), now home to a country park in the grounds of a National Trust property. Burghley House (50 minutes) is another stately home, this time with a sculpture garden in its backyard and the Burghley Horse Trials once per year. Map out your way to the market towns… this area’s known for such places, including Grantham (20 minutes) and Newark-on-Trent (20 minutes), which has a historical castle and museum, plus a showground to stay in the present moment. Perhaps your group is on the lookout for activities to get your team (or competitive) spirit going. If so, Ancaster (15 minutes) has a few places that will start the spark, from bowling to paintball and laser tag. Or maybe you're already in the area for some significant event? That would make sense, as the wedding venue Stubton Hall (20 minutes’ walk) is close by, as is Arena UK (15 minutes' drive), an equestrian centre.
