Firepit hire available creating a truly tranquil camping experience
Cheglinch offers wild camping in one of two fields in rural North Devon, suitable for tents only. The pop-up, gently sloping, site is open on selected days during the summer months, and allows you to enjoy the fresh Devonshire air and spectacular views while the sun shines (hopefully!), before the site reverts back to its traditional agricultural use. The site is located in a quiet and isolated spot on the outskirts of a working farm. However, it is easily reached, within half a mile of the A361 and the village of West Down (which offers a well-stocked community shop and pub). It's a perfect base for exploring the delightful North Devon surfing beaches, just a short drive away. The unmarked pitches allow you to choose your preferred location and there is masses of room so children have open space to run and play. No tent? No problem. Pre-erected 5m diameter unfurnished Lotus Belle tents are available to hire. Just bring your camping equipment and make use of the fire pit provided. The site is predominantly a peaceful, tranquil place interrupted only by sounds of livestock grazing in neighbouring fields. However, there may be the occasional day where tractors can be seen and heard working nearby - don't forget you are at the heart of the countryside after all! If you enjoy an open campfire then the campsite fire pits (available to hire) are just what you need. Wood is also available to purchase on site and barbecues are permitted as long as they are kept off the ground.
