Witham Friary Camp

We have no local shop, the nearby town of Frome (5- 6 miles) can provide you with Sainsburys, butchers, an organic grocery store , and all your food needs. There is a very pretty cobbled street called Catherine Hill with many independent shops, inc. vintage clothing, and just about anything you need. There really is no need to go to a large town! There are quite a few pubs, and our favourite drinking spots are Lottes wine bar (and restaurant) and Palmer Street Bottle. Our own village has one traditional pub serving real somerset cider and Cheddar ales, also a decent wine, (in the wine box) and only a five minutes walk from the camping field, and in the summer alternate weekends of a visiting pizza van or fish and chips. There is no food, otherwise... Only pickled eggs in a bag of crisps, which is the prize in any village competition! The Duke of Somerset's land , where there are many peaceful walks possible - is just up the lane, and walkers will love this area. The Deverills are close by too, for walking. Frome has artisanal shopping and markets on certain days, but Bath is 40 minutes away, and the small cathedral town of Wells is 30 minutes. Hauser and Wirth art gallery is situated in the town of Bruton nearby, a town famous for its celebrity attraction and two restaurants. There is a falconry near there also, in PItcombe which offers exceptional bird experiences. Longleat is near , as is Stourhead , a National Trust property.. which includes St Alfred's Tower and woodland walks. A drive to the lovely Dorset is only one and a half hours drive, suitable for a trip to the coast for the day.
