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.

Primitive grass and earth tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: A great site with a lovely view and open space to pitch tent. The owners are easily contactable and provided good level of detail to locate and access site.
Affordable but with everything you need. Jayne and Mark were kind enough to let us borrow a fire pit when we had forgotten ours. Plus we had the whole place to ourselves due to the time of the year! Dog friendly which was a huge plus for us.

Disliked: That we did not stay for longer!
