Peaceful site on a farm near the village of Hartest Bury St Edmunds and Ickworth House within 15 minutes' drive Back to basics pitches with running water and space for campfires Bring on the chilled country days… peace is served up by the spade at Waldegrave Farm, a secluded site between the villages of Lawshall and Hartest.

Should you require their urban amenities, the towns of Bury St Edmunds, Lavenham and Long Melford are all around 15 minutes away by car. Rural relaxation is the name of the game here though – all the classic ingredients are on hand for your stay on-site, including hedgerows home to wildlife, a little brook flowing through the grounds and plenty of open space for not doing very much at all (although one might stretch to creating a campfire and cracking open a beer or two...?).

There’s little here to distract from the vibe: amenities on the basic pitches are limited to running water, but there are no toilets or showers on site. According to the owners, this is not so much a campsite as a farm with remote pitches around it. If you want to be alone or just with your group this is the place to come. The end goal is that staying at Waldegrave Farm will make you feel like you're the only people here, no matter how many pitches are occupied.
