  • Peaceful rural site in the National Forest and close to the A42
  • A 10-minute drive from Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Twycross Zoo
  • Set in the grounds of a Georgian farmhouse; a mile to a lakeside café
Looking to get away from home for a few nights in a serenely rural space? Set amid the varied landscapes of the National Forest is Measham House Farm, a peaceful site a few minutes' drive from the A42 and 10 minutes from Ashby-de-la-Zouch. That nifty location alone is a big plus, as it makes this place a prime pick for stopovers or longer breaks in these scenic countryside surrounds. You'll be pitching up in one of two calm fields a short walk from the handsome Georgian farmhouse that gives this site its name. The pitches are all well-drained and easily accessible, making for hassle-free arrivals and departures. The fields also have a standpipe with drinking water and an Elsan disposal point. Measham House Farm is a mile from Measham, a thriving village with a range of independent shops, including a bakery and a butcher's, and within a few minutes' drive of some good farm shops. Pubs are close by too (a couple in the village and some country inns within a 10 minutes' drive); special mention also goes to the top-rated waterside café on the edge of a peaceful fishing lake. This family-friendly site welcomes four-legged guests, who are sure to help you sniff out plenty of spots for long country strolls nearby. You won't have to go far to get active – the flat and car-free Ashby Woulds Heritage Trail, which runs along the old Ashby and Nuneaton Railway, can be picked up in Measham village centre.

Local attractions

Travelling in the company of kids? They'll likely be rather keen on visiting Twycross Zoo (10 minutes' drive), seeing as it has one of the largest collections of monkeys and apes in the western world. Some critters like lemurs, lorikeets and goats are free to interact with human visitors if you want to feed them or get some close-up snaps. You can also visit many a historic building in this part of the Midlands, with top local spots being held by Ashby de la Zouch Castle (10 minutes) and Calke Abbey (15 minutes), a Grade I-listed house managed by the National Trust. Those interested in the past should also pack some walking boots and head out to Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre (25 minutes) for self-guided tours of the 15th-century battle site. The National Memorial Arboretum (30 minutes), a terrific tree-packed place in Staffordshire, is a further source of fab fresh air. After a spot of contemplation here, end the day on an active note by heading to Willesley Park Golf Club (five minutes) or Conkers outdoor adventure centre (10 minutes).
