This peaceful farm close to Umberleigh offers 30 acres of lush meadows and woodland, where a blend of traditional farming methods and sustainability are in place - and the environmentally friendly vibe is strong. Wolf Meadows is bordered by flower and berry filled hedgerows and ancient woodland - perfect for getting back to nature. It plays host to rare and endangered Highland cattle, a proud cockerel and hens which lay the best free range eggs for your brekkie. All pitches are without electric. Choose to spread out in acres of expansive meadow, bounded by the River Taw. There are a limited number of riverside meadow pitches, where you can hear the gentle flow of the clear water. It's home to ducks, geese, salmon and perhaps even swans. A small section of exclusive wild bluebell woodland also offers space to pop your tent. Shy deer can sometimes be seen and there's plenty of other wildlife and wildflowers. Just three pitches are within the section of woodland that stretches down to the river bank and from this base you might paddle in the water, watch an otter go about its day or go to sleep listening to gentle bird calls. The site is also home to two eco friendly and Viking-inspired glamping barrel pods. Sleeping four with two double bedrooms, both enjoy their own secluded spot on the site with shared facilities in easy reach and outdoor BBQ area for campfires. Please note, the site is accessed by a tight narrow bend but the staff are always on hand to help you get in if needed.
Wolf Meadows Farm is open from 15/04 to 29/09.
