A note from the site themselves...

As a family, over the years, we have spent many holidays together camping. We always had a dream to one day open the perfect country side glamping experience ourselves. We want nothing more than our guests to have the best and memorable time at The Paddocks and hope that we can provide absolutely everything required to make this happen!

In the other direction, a 30 minute walk over the hill and you will reach Priddy, well-known for its annual folk festival and local pub 'The Queen Vic' and its Christmas gingerbread house. If you do want to go further, one of Britain's smallest cities, Wells, and the caves at Wookey Hole are just ten minutes away.

To round it off, a local cider barn is within a five minute walk which offers live music and delicious pizzas.
