Emma Brown of Six Bells fame (for those of you in the know) is continuing with the catering she started last year to much acclaim. She brings her culinery expertise to the campsite for those who wish to really endulge themselves; fancy afternoon tea delivered to your tent, or Beef Bourguignon ready to reheat over your camp fire?  Lots of Emma's treats are also for sale in the shop, her scotch eggs are AMAZING!

We have upgraded our little shop and now alongside our own meat and eggs we stock a range of basics  to get you through your stay.

 Breck Falconry is running at the farm again in 2013 and we will have more free displays throughout the year.  

Cool Camping Guide

Cool Camping Guide voted us one of the Top 10 Campsites in England! We are obviously delighted with the great review in the third edition of this camping bible, but don't worry, we wont let it go to our heads, the site will remain as quiet and chilled out as it always has been with campfires crackling and sausages sizzling!
