Our pitch for bank holiday weekend
The farm house
A lovely sunny day

  • Pitch where you like at a back to basics farm site near Wells
  • Wookey Hole and Cheddar Gorge within a 10-minute drive
  • Pub two minutes' walk away; water supply and toilets on site
Let your troubles ebb away at Ebborways Farm near Wells, in the scenic heart of Somerset. Perfect for those in pursuit of an authentic camping experience, simplicity is the key here: it’s just you, a field – and a campfire if you like – in sumptuous, serene surroundings. Facilities are limited to a water supply and composting loos, and you can pitch wherever you like, alone or in groups. However, you’re not too far from a bit of civilisation: it’s a short walk to a handful of pubs – including a couple that do top-notch food – and a farm shop, in the local village of Priddy (and it is, too). Fire packs (matches, firelighters, kindling and logs), as well as nets of logs, are available to buy on arrival. Please note that phone signal is very limited here, so you may wish to use the internet for research before you arrive.

Laura T.

Non-electric grass and earth pitch

Liked Really cheap and easy to use campsite. Perfect location for Mendips and surrounding areas. Ideal for walking ebbor gorge too. Compost loos were clean and maintained and plentiful. Access to fire pits was so useful. Staff were friendly as were other campers.
Pitch size was unlimited so perfect for a bell tent. Would definitely stay again, and maybe stay longer.
No showers but recommend a solar for camping anyway.
Handy tourist info available, fire supplied for sale until 9pm.
Pub only 5 minutes walk away but we didn’t use it this time.

Non-electric grass and earth pitch

Liked A fantastic campsite if you prefer the more back to basic vibe - we loved it. A well maintained and tidy campsite, no rubbish anywhere etc. Lots of space to pick from. Lovely scenery, dog friendly and friendly pub a 5 minute walk away. Both campsite and pub child friendly - nice little play area at the pub too. There seems like lots of walks you can take directly from the camp site, so no need to jump in the car.

Disliked Toilets probably not overly suitable for very young children.

Non-electric grass and earth pitch

Liked The freedom of pitching up anywhere with no allocated spaces is ideal. We were 3 separate family groups so it was especially nice to be close together. The children 6&7 absolutely loved the freedom of playing many games in the field. They also loved toasting marshmallows on the campfire and playing on the rope swings in the trees. We will continue to return here again with family and friends.

Non-electric grass and earth pitch

Liked Friendly place to stay, you dont have to be close to anyone when you camp, up to you where you pitch up.
Toliets are great and veary clean with lots of toliet rolls.

Disliked Can be noisy at night, so if you want a early night you may not get it.
It used to be £7pp but now £10pp.
But still cheaper than some campsits.

Local attractions

Given the proximity of Bath and Wells, there’s an obvious temptation to regale your companions with choice one-liners from Blackadder; but pause for breath and you’ll discover that both have more celebrated charms than the baby-eating bishop. Bath probably needs less of an introduction: think Roman baths, Georgian grandeur, Jane Austen, rugby and culture aplenty; while Wells, which holds the accolade of England’s smallest city, is a medieval gem with a thirteenth century cathedral, a moated bishop’s palace, and a lively twice-weekly market. Also highly recommended is a trip to the spectacular Cheddar Gorge, which offers something for all ages: breathtaking views; brilliant caving and rock climbing; walks up Jacob’s Ladder; open-top bus tours; a clutch of family attractions; eerily beautiful stalactite caverns; and, of course, more cheese than you can shake a stick at. Keen walkers will be delighted by the proximity of the Mendips (Ebborways Farm is close to the West Mendip Way, which runs to the Ebbor Gorge nature reserve); or, for those who prefer life on four wheels, there are loads of fascinating places an easy drive away: atmospheric Glastonbury, the colossal caves and family attractions at Wookey Hole, the vibrant maritime city of Bristol, the fantastic safari and adventure park at Longleat, and the sandy beaches of Weston-super-Mare. If you’re visiting in August, you may be lucky enough to coincide with Priddy’s annual sheep fair; this historic event, with animal demonstrations, a funfair and more, attracts a whopping 10,000 visitors each year. Finally, should you feel the need to indulge in our national pastime, there are more than 90 outlet shops at the Clarks Village centre, in the nearby village of Street.
