Cost
£30 for 2 nights camping. Includes supplement to cover all incidental expenses (cooking gas, wood, camping chairs etc).
Activities
We are camping in the unspoilt countryside of South Somerset. The campsite is near the world-famous National Trust landscaped gardens of Stourhead. We will have campfires and barbecues. Early arrivals on Friday can walk to the Georgian Folly of King Alfred's Tower; the panoramic view from the top takes in Somerset, Wiltshire and Dorset.
On Saturday we plan a 10 mile circular walk taking in the Stourhead Estate. A substantial part of these magnificent gardens is accessible via rights of way. Stourhead is famous for its Palladian architecture, the many classical follys and rare trees around the lake and stately home. There are pubs and cafes in the village for lunch. Our return leg takes in an iron age hill fort and King Alfred's Tower. Barbecue and campfire in the evening.
On Sunday we plan to explore the wonderfully preserved market town of Bruton. Walk includes Jacobean almshouses, abbey, and many historic buildings including The Chapel, a converted Methodist chapel, now restaurant and bar with great views over the valley.
