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.

Primitive grass and earth campsite

Liked: Very friendly staff. Charge for the individual rather than pitch. Accomodates one nighters. Great mix of people, with repeat visitors. Would stay here as part of adult group or with children. Happy campers. Children love it. Plenty of space to make noise without bothering others. Free range hens running about. Great walks nearby, nice country pub within 5 minutes walk. Very well built and well kept eco toilets. Plenty of taps to collect water. Sheep in nearby fields and locals on horses. Nice village. Near to Attractions like Cheddar Gorge and Wookey Hole. One of my all time favorite places to camp. Oh yes, i could also pick up a signal for tv. Great at certain times of day if you have youngsters to calm down.

Disliked: I had a motorhome so lack of sink qnd showers was not a problem for me. Who needs to shower every night anyway.

Primitive grass and earth campsite

Liked: generally peaceful basic site - toilets were clean - polite and helpful owners who are willing to help, we had to leave a day early but that was down to the weather not the site. plenty to do and see around the area, a lovely pub just up the road that does good food. will be going again next year.

Disliked: sounds like hunting dogs barking in early hours of the night which woke me up a couple of times.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Wonderful, we look forward to seeing you next summer. There is a kennel at the other end of the village, when the wind is coming towards us, the sound of the dogs can be heard more than other mornings.

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.
