# Heron's Rural Retreat

> Heron's Rural Retreat

Rediscover nature, wildlife and the great British countryside, but with a hassle-free level of comfort and luxury. Simply camping and glamping at its best.

We open up our grazing fields for campers to enjoy the countryside, good walks and local hostelries. Glamping units enjoy space and privacy from campers - perfect for a quiet getaway or maybe a writer's retreat? Choose from the shelter of our lower fields, or watch the sunset and wake up to the stunning views from our higher fields. Either way, you’ll have space to really get away from it all.

- [Showman's Wagon](https://www.holidayfox.com/en/e/dest-R-Kf7teFudPD/heron-s-rural-retreat/accommodations/acctype-3gt6GDpWlxBy/showman-s-wagon) — sleeps up to 2. This is something rather special - a restored original showman's wagon with a circus-themed interior. It came to us last year from its previous home in Kent, where the beatuiful restoration and interior styling were done. Sleeping 2 in a cabin-style double bed (the Kissing…
- [The Shepherd's Hut](https://www.holidayfox.com/en/e/dest-R-Kf7teFudPD/heron-s-rural-retreat/accommodations/acctype-ELNWiA-Vlkil/the-shepherds-hut) — sleeps up to 2. Sleeping 2, this is an original shepherds hut, and as such it's possibly something of a rarity in the glamping world! This would have once been a place for a weary shepherd(ess) to take refuge from the weather and tend to sick or orphaned lambs. The space under the bed would…

"Connie" is parked on the edge of our apple orchard with views over the open fields, just a short walk from our toilets and shower. On the outside we've left Connie's many coats of paint intact - she's had an interesting past life and was possibly used on NATO missions. Inside…
