  • North Downs Way 10 minutes’ walk, and Folkestone 20 minutes’ drive
  • Three pubs, a vineyard and fishing lake all within walking distance
If you’re the type who prefers birdsong to guitar solos, and silence to kids playing nearby, it’s time to get packed. You’re off to family-run Horton View Farm in the Kent Downs National Landscape, five minutes’ drive away from Brabourne. Here, you’ll have peace by the bucket load, as it’s adults-only and as amplified music is not allowed, the only sounds you should hear are the bleating of the sheep and birdsong. Set on a quiet lane with views across to the hills and valleys of the Kent Downs National Landscape, there are scenic walks from the gate of the camping meadow, as well as stunning sunrises and sunsets and dark skies filled with shimmering stars on clear nights. Approached by neatly mown paths through the wild meadow, each tent has its own firepit, and logs are available to purchase from the site. It’s mostly off-grid (so bring your own torches) but does have some comforts in the open barn: flushing toilets and hot showers as well as a communal kitchen where you can make a cuppa and take in the stunning views. A vineyard, several pubs and a fishing lake are within half an hour’s walk of the site along quiet lanes and footpaths, so leave the car behind if you choose. The very nearest pub is just five minutes’ stroll away, and if good local produce is your thing, there are exceptional farm shops, bakeries and farmers’ markets throughout the area.
