Gypsy caravan holidays

These quirky glamping wagons are part of a broader history and a very traditional way of life. Horse drawn in days gone by, bow tops still carry an air of timeless romance.

Set yourself down on the steps in front to take in your surroundings and reconnect. Romany caravans are ideally suited to couples looking to get away from it all, though you can sometimes just about squeeze a little one in with you as well.

So what can you expect from your stay in a gypsy caravan?

You might be lucky enough to sleep in an original wagon, dating back to the start of the 20th century and steeped in travellers' tales. Or you might find a handcrafted recreation, built from traditional plans and updated for modern life.

Inside you'll no doubt find a cosy double bed, and possibly a snug wood burner to ward off any chill in the air. A scatterings of throws, cushions and knick-knacks will finish things off and brighten your stay.
