For animal-mad children this is the holy grail: a campsite attached to Adam Henson's Cotswold Farm Park, the rare breeds farm made famous by Countryfile. Campers get discounted entry and can be at the lamb feeding, tractor rides and animal barns the moment the gates open, long before day visitors arrive.
The campsite itself is high on the wolds with huge views, well-kept facilities and a mix of grass and electric pitches, plus fire pit hire for starry evenings. The Guitings, Naunton and the Slaughters, some of the prettiest villages in the Cotswolds, are all within a short drive. Lambing season in spring is unmissable.
