Sit back, relax and take all that peace and quiet in

Quiet, rural site 25 minutes’ drive from Ashford in Kent
The Big Cat Sanctuary 10 minutes’ drive and Leeds Castle 15 minutes
A wildlife haven with wildflowers and access to multiple footpaths

Heading for Dover ferries and adventures in Europe? Sticking around to explore Kent? Either way, Far and Away, just outside Headcorn village and 25 minutes’ drive from Ashford, offers a quiet and rural space to spend the night. This pop-up site sits in a field sheltered by mature trees, with easy access to multiple public footpaths through untamed Kent countryside – by the way, the site gets daily visits from red kites and eagles, and on still nights you can hear lions roaring at The Big Cat Sanctuary across the fields. Should you wish to make a trip up to London, there are super-easy train links from Headcorn Station to Charing Cross, with the journey taking about an hour and 20 minutes. Sticking closer to home base, you can go sightseeing in pretty Kent villages like Biddenden (10 minutes’ drive), Tenterden and Cranbrook (both 20 minutes), or dent your bank account with a shopping spree at the Designer Outlet Ashford (half an hour). Facilities-wise, the site has a gas shower and basic loos, but no electricity, so do make sure your packing list includes torches and batteries.

Non-electric grass and earth tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: So lovely and secluded.
Owners are very friendly and really helpful.
Loved hearing the lions roar for their tea, from the big cat sanctuary.
Lovely pitch, ground nicely kept, really nice atmosphere from other campers, more like camping in the olden days, a camping ‘community’. Will be returning and will stay longer. I loved that you could hire fire pits and all the wood is provided.

Disliked: The amenities are limited. Two portaloos kept in nice condition, one for the glamping tents and one for non glamping. Really for the people staying; more would be better. When I was there we had 12 non glampers and two families with families of 4+ members. Overall around 20+ people and 2 loos. There was problems with them not flushing, not working at times but owners were very quick to sort this out. However, the problem reoccurred.

Again showers, were portashower. 1 per side. Perfectly functional and clean, however having an extra loo and shower on each side would improve the stay.

If you are arriving on foot there are no local shops to buy goods - eg milk etc in easy walking distance, due to the campsites position. What would really help is an onsite local bits and pieces shop eg. For ice, milk bread etc; especially for disabled campers.
