St. Peter's Farm Campsite

If you’re planning a full countryside experience, schedule in walks around places like the Wittenham Clumps (10 minutes’ drive), which has lovely Thames Valley views as you stroll through meadows and woodlands. The Ridgeway, Europe’s oldest highway, is also close by for scenic walks and bike rides. You’ll have seen horses on site, but for further animal sightings you can pay a visit to Island Farm Donkey Sanctuary (five minutes), or find more exotic species at The Living Rainforest (25 minutes). Pendon Museum (10 minutes) is a good place to get a sense of what this area was like about 100 years ago, and you can also step into the past with a ride on the Cholsey & Wallingford Railway (10 minutes). For other days out, visit the excellent Didcot Railway Centre (10 minutes), admire the stylish cars at Aston Martin Heritage Trust (20 minutes) or head to Oxford (25 minutes) to tour the colleges, visit the castle-prison and museums and try your hand at punting.
