When you think of Somerset your mind likely conjures up images of Cheddar cheese, Cider, Glastonbury or even strawberries! That’s right, Strawberries! These delicious, juicy red fruits are right on the doorstep. ‘The Paddocks’ is a retired strawberry farm that is now home to a magnificent glamping site, situated on the southside of the Mendip Hills in an ‘Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’. The site boasts a calm and relaxing environment, amazing views over the Somerset levels and an abundance of wildlife from green woodpeckers to the occasional deer!

Myself (Stephanie ) and my husband Harry love our home turf of Somerset. We were both born and raised within the somerset hills , and love to share our love of the countryside with our guests. You get a taste of what its like to live in this beautiful area . On weekends we love hiking across all the gorgeous hills with our golden retriever Watson and our baby boy Bertie. Harry plays in a local country band which has played frequently at the local cider barn located 5 mins from the Glamping site. We have spent many a night camping at our site ourselves and hope you enjoy the peace , views and romance as much as we do .

On the slopes of the Mendip Hills, you can take a short hike up to ‘Draycott Sleights’ for panoramic views over Somerset or explore the ‘West Mendip Way’. A 15 minute walk in one direction takes you to Cheddar and all it has to offer (Restaurants/Bars/Cheese and of course the Gorge). 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 it’s 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 seven miles away. Medieval Axbridge is even closer and Glastonbury a half hour drive. To round it off, a local cider barn is within a 5 minute walk which offers live music and delicious pizzas.
