  • Well-kept, quiet Wiltshire farm site 10 minutes’ drive from Malmesbury
  • Westonbirt, The National Arboretum and Highgrove 20 minutes’ drive
  • Café with views over the fields; play barn for an additional fee
If you’re looking for somewhere to take the kids for a few days of country life, you should be heading to Down on the Farm, on the edge of the Cotswolds and 10 minutes’ drive from Malmesbury in North Wiltshire. This peaceful pop-up site is set on a beef farm with lots of curious cows to meet and greet, and, for an additional fee, kids can access the huge play barn to play farm-themed games and ride mini tractors about the place. And for adults? Well, there’s a popular café with views over the farm fields, a modern facilities block with family shower rooms, and a camping field sheltered by mature trees. You can also set off on rural walks from the pitches, which are dog-friendly so Fido can join in the holiday fun too. There are lots of options for family days out, whether it’s swimming off the lakeside beach at the Cotswold Water Park (15 minutes’ drive) or exploring the standing stones at Avebury (35 minutes). And if you’d rather just stick around and chill on site, you can look forward to regular colourful sunsets and nights cosied up around the firepit.

Power optional grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Down on the Farm is a lovely campsite with spacious pitches. The farmer and his wife were so friendly and helpful, which made a big difference as it was our first time camping.

The facilities were excellent the café/restaurant had plenty of choice at great prices, and the little BBQ night with late opening at the weekend was definitely a bonus. The showers were amazing too, really clean and well maintained.

The farm itself and the children’s play area were a big hit with my kids they absolutely loved it!

We would definitely recommend this campsite and will definitely be coming back.

Disliked Only thing I would say was they need more toilets as there was a little queue in the mornings
