Nestling at the base of the Dunkery Commons, this lovely camping field, on a working farm on the National Trust Holnicote Estate, welcomes adult campers seeking peace, quiet and to connect with nature. Explore the beautiful surrounding moorland, river valleys, countryside and coastline – with endless walking and cycling – and enjoy the sunsets and the incredible dark skies as you relax and unwind. Stunning scenery all around, with views across the Porlock vale to the Bristol Channel, Hurlestone Point and Selworthy Hill.
