Woodcock Farm (Glamping)

In need of a private getaway? That’s exactly what’s in store with a stay at Woodcock Farm on the edge of the Cotswolds, a 10-minute drive from Chipping Sodbury and 30 minutes from Bath and Bristol. The site may be close to civilisation but, on the southern edge of a 36-acre farm, it still feels like an escape from the world – sink into that feeling with rambling walks through the private woodlands and up to the Iron Age hill fort on site.

Beyond the site, this is paradise for walkers and cyclists. The 102-mile-long Cotswold Way National Trail passes right by Woodcock – following the Cotswold Edge, the trail continues to Bath in one direction and all the way to Chipping Campden in the other, taking in spectacular views and villages along the way.

Worked up an appetite? The glamping options available here have their own camp kitchen with a barbecue, sink, cooking utensils, a table and chairs, tableware, glassware and a coolbox or mini fridge, so you're set up for making your own meals on site. If holidays to you mean a break from cooking, grab a bite at one of the restaurants in Chipping Sodbury. The small town is also home to shops and a bakery, so stock up on supplies while you’re there.

Woodcock Farm is a haven for the environmentally conscious: the site is off-grid and keeps things green with a composting toilet and solar shower.
