Gold Hill Glamping

In keeping with the rural theme around Gold Hill Glamping, it’s only right that you take some of your wanders into the spectacular countryside, hills included. Melbury Hill is only 20 minutes’ walk from the site, and further afield there’s the Fontmell Down Nature Reserve (45 minutes’ walk). If it’s stunning landmarks you’re looking for, head to Shaftesbury (45 minutes’ walk or five minutes’ drive) – it's home to the site’s namesake, Gold Hill, an abbey and a heritage trail. There’s the iconic Stonehenge (35 minutes) stone circle further out, and Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door (50 minutes) along the Jurrasic coast for gorgeous coastal scenery. For a little of the old times on your travels, head to the ruins of Old Wardour Castle (25 minutes) or Kingston Lacy (25 minutes) to see a splendid stately home. Handily, Larmer Tree Gardens (20 minutes), a popular wedding venue, is also close to Gold Hill Glamping, as is the Compton Abbas Airfield (10 minutes), which runs training flight experiences.
