Field 725 Eco Camping and Glamping

Active types can stride forth from the site to walk to local villages including Mells and Nunney, climb Cley Hill or ramble along the Colliers Way; if you're a cyclist, pedal your way along the Kennet and Avon Canal towpath (all the way to Bath if you’re feeling fit). Facilities are nearby for horse riding, rock climbing, fishing and archery. For town times, the site's around a half-hour drive from medieval Wells, UNESCO-listed Bath and Arthurian Glastonbury. The Somerset Rural Life Museum is the place to soak up a bit more local history, and there are vintage vehicles aplenty on show at the Haynes International Motor Museum and on the heritage line at East Somerset Railway. Other days out locally include Stourhead National Trust estate, the six-mile safari driving trail at Longleat, the show caves at Wookey Hole and Cheddar Gorge (England’s largest gorge at three miles long, fact fiends).
