  • Wild camping with only one pitch per field on a scenic Kent farm
  • English Channel views and a 15-minute drive from South Coast beaches
  • North Downs walking and cycling hotspot; five minutes’ walk from a pub
Sitting on one of the highest points in Kent, Cole Farm Seriously Wild Camping overlooks the Folkestone Downs and English Channel, with France just visible on very clear days. It’s been a working farm for centuries, and the open fields are still home to a small herd of cows. The pop-up camping concept here is simple: there is just one tent per field, so you can have a genuinely solitary wild camping adventure amid a pretty remote landscape. There’s a small toilet block on site, but otherwise you’re on your own so bring in water, torches and any food for cooking on your campfire. A few people live on the farm, and they’re on hand for any questions or advice. Other than them, it’s just you, the field and the occasional inquisitive cow. There are some spectacular walking and cycling routes nearby, including the North Downs Way, Saxon Shore Way and King Charles III England Coast Path – and handily it’s only five minutes' stroll from the local pub when all you need is a decent pint.
