Wildwoodland Retreat
About Wildwoodland Retreat
Wildwoodland Retreat is a small campsite set within ancient woodland and rewilded meadow valley on a working family farm. Located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the site offers a low-density camping experience with just six pitches spread across a large natural landscape.
The campsite is designed to provide a quieter alternative to traditional camping parks, with open woodland, meadow areas, and valley views across the surrounding countryside. Families, children, and dogs are welcome.
In addition to camping pitches, a shepherd’s hut sits on the valley hillside overlooking the meadow and woodland below.
