Enjoy cider brewed from this campsite’s orchard on your pod’s private terrace

This farm campsite can be found just outside of Glastonbury, a pretty Somerset town that has a lot more going for it than the nearby eponymous festival – namely mythical, medieval monuments, boutiques peddling spiritual wares, and pubs with beer gardens serving local mead. You can pitch your own tent or caravan in the campsite, or guests can ‘camp’ in wooden pods placed around the farm’s apple orchard (one for those who want to get closer to nature but with a little luxury and comfort thrown in). Guests are welcomed with fresh flowers, homemade apple juice and home-brewed cider from the farm’s orchard yield – best enjoyed in dappled sunshine on your pod’s private terrace.

Wake up to the sound of birdsong and wind whistling through the trees at this campsite

This remote retreat promises a camping experience where you’ll feel totally immersed in nature, waking up to the sound of birdsong and wind whistling through the trees. There’s a range of accommodation available, from yurts and cottages to huts constructed within the woods, each with large decks that overlook the rolling Welsh hills. Explore the retreat’s four acres of wild gardens and 20 acres of woodland before enjoying a slap-up meal of local produce cooked on your cottage’s Aga and a lantern-lit soak in your hut’s wooden bathroom.

Y Cwt Bach in South Wales

Stay in an inviting wooden cabin with stable doors and rustic exteriors at Y Cwt Bach

To witness some of Wales most divine countryside, head for a weekend’s camping just outside Cardiff at Y Cwt Bach, a lakeside campsite amid the Black Mountains on Ty Coch Farm. You can pitch tents, park caravans or book one of the resident shepherd’s huts; these inviting wooden cabins have stable doors and rustic exteriors but inside you'll find double beds, antique furniture, embroidered pillows and vases of fresh flowers. Expect welcome bottles of wine, books, board games and tips on great local walks courtesy of the farm’s friendly hosts. You can stroll through meadows that slope down to the river at the foot of the valley, through ancient woodland and orchards, or straight to one of the delightful local pubs. The campsite is also right in the middle of an International Dark Sky Reserve, guaranteeing excellent stargazing.
