About the site

Fen End Farm includes 117 acres of fabulous organic farmland, run with all things eco in mind and offering more than enough space to spread out and relax. Bring your tent and choose from four grass pitches scattered amongst the orchard apple trees. As the parking is in a grass field adjacent to the orchard, wheelbarrows are provided to transport your belongings to your camp. A campfire by your pitch and a few marshmallows is the perfect way to rustle up an evening snack. For glampers, take your pick from a wide range of accommodation. Relax in the handcrafted yurts, with their own king size beds, wood burners and space for five or cuddle up around the fire pit for an evening under the stars. There are also two traditional bell tents with double beds, each with the warmth of a wood burning stove. All include their own fire pit. Sorry, no dogs allowed here.

Open from 2 May to 28 September.

A note from the site themselves...

Welcome to our little slice of heaven. We love sharing it with our guests and seeing children running free and feel so lucky that we get to spend our time in this magical space. As organic farmers our green ethos of working with nature is reflected in how we run the campsite.

We allow most of the grass and wildflowers to grow tall over the summer, just mowing the pitches and pathways. This encourages insects and birds, which in turn pollinate the apple trees and keep less helpful beasties in check.

All our electricity is generated on-site from wind and solar power, and we source eco-friendly soaps and cleaning products that biodegrade quickly. We refill these in bulk from local businesses and have been awarded Plastic-Free status for our commitment to eliminating single-use plastics.

As well as guests' reactions to the beauty of the orchard, one of our favourite things is when they tell us their stay has inspired them to make eco changes to their life when they get home.
