Long Acre Meadow

Nestled at the end Longacre Meadow, this is more like a small paddock than pitch, which offers a secluded spot to reconnect with nature, surrounded by native flora and fauna. The main field is our hay meadow which has almost 20 different flower species in the meadow and beneath the trees. There is also a designated "owl hooting post" in the centre of the field which we have evidence of use by both Barn and Tawny owls.

There is usually access following a cut path to a bench sited under the trees (unless our sheep are grazing). We ask that people stick to the path and not wander around trampling the grass as it may be growing for hay and can sometimes have young deer hiding amongst it.

Once you are in and the gates closed you slide the gate latch across and you have your own private haven, great for lone female travellers who value their own personal space. With its own dedicated fire pit and a big table you can use for food prep or cooking on, it really is the perfect spot for cooking on fire or just sitting round the fire on an evening with a beer whilst listening to the owls.

If the weather is right we have amazing dark skies with no light pollution, perfect for star gazing and, if conditions are right, seeing the Milky Way!

And if you're really lucky, who knows what else you might see or hear?

Ravens Wood

There is a designated access route (signed) which is accessible by anything up to Land Rover 110 size (standard wheels) although vehicles with a longer overhang may catch their tow ball. The route goes through areas of trees which are tight in places, and we have trimmed overhead branches to enable vehicles with roof tents to gain access, so care needs to be taken but it is the drivers responsibility to check all clearances as branches can hang down lower when its raining and vehicles can slide sideways too.

If you have any questions regarding vehicle access please message us in the first instance.

No responsibility will be taken by the site owners for any loss, damage or injury!

A small stream bordered (our boundary) woodland pitch at the far end of our land that will need a proper 4x4 to access across several fields, or you need to walk in with all your kit. The ground will become wet towards winter and that will ultimately close the site to vehicles.

With it's designated fire pit it's the perfect spot for cooking that dirty steak on ot coals or even fresh bread in a dutch oven. Or you could just sit around the fire and enjoy the warmth and mesmerizing flames with a beer, its the perfect spot to completely relax.

Fenced off from the fields with its own gated access to keep the sheep out, you have this small woods all to yourself.

Bring everything you need including toilet, water and logs as this is a "Leave No Trace Site". So the digging of toilets, or cutting down trees for firewood is STRICTLY NOT PERMITTED!
