Welcome to the recently upgraded Paddocks Glamping!
The Paddocks Glamping
When you think of Somerset your mind likely conjures up images of Cheddar cheese, Cider, Glastonbury or even strawberries! That’s right, Strawberries! These delicious, juicy red fruits are right on the doorstep.
‘The Paddocks’ is a retired strawberry farm that is now home to a magnificent glamping site, situated on the southside of the Mendip Hills in an ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’. The site boasts a calm and relaxing environment, amazing views over the Somerset levels and an abundance of wildlife from green woodpeckers to the occasional deer!
On the slopes of the Mendip Hills, you can take a short hike up to ‘Draycott Sleights’ for panoramic views over Somerset or explore the ‘West Mendip Way’. A 15 minute walk in one direction takes you to Cheddar and all it has to offer (Restaurants/Bars/Cheese and of course the Gorge). In the other direction, a 30 minute walk over the hill and you will reach Priddy, well-known for its annual folk festival and local pub ‘The Queen Vic’ and it’s Christmas gingerbread house. If you do want to go further, One of Britain’s smallest cities, Wells, and the caves at Wookey Hole are just seven miles away. Medieval Axbridge is even closer and Glastonbury a half hour drive. To round it off, a local cider barn is within a 5 minute walk which offers live music and delicious pizzas.

The Pitches
There are just four pitches here which contribute to the privacy and natural calm of the place. Each dome tent is situated on a raised decking where you can enjoy some home comforts such as a double bed, gas BBQ, fire pit and lots of cosy furnishings. Utilities include mains power, water, a communal barn (with wood burning stove, microwave, fridge, freezer, toaster, kettle and washing up facilities) toilet block and shower room with a heated floor.
It is a great spot for couples to enjoy a relaxing and romantic break in rural surroundings or for small groups of friends to get together, with exclusive hire a viable option. There is even a large natural pond that you can sit next to and enjoy reading a book, or simply take in the local wildlife.
