  • Simple and peaceful semi-wild site 10 minutes' drive from Woodbridge
  • A 15-minute drive to Sutton Hoo; half an hour to Aldeburgh or Orford
  • Pitches of a third of an acre; easy access to walks and bike rides
Martins Meadows is a peaceful spot in the Suffolk countryside, a couple of miles from Clopton and a 10-minute drive from Woodbridge. This is the sort of site to head to if you’re after a simple, quiet time surrounded by lots of open space. It stretches out over four acres but with only a handful of guests on site you can look forward to about a third of an acre for each pitch (you’ll probably see more sheep than tents). Some of each pitch is left unmown so you’ll have some long grass around for a bit of seclusion and privacy. It’s a semi-wild setup here, with no electricity or hot water and just simple facilities including portable toilets, a cold water supply and a washing-up area. (There is a privacy tent set up with a cold water shower but you can also bring your own warm water camping shower.) Chickens and sheep enjoy a quiet life on the farm, so although well-behaved dogs are welcome on site you’ll need to make sure they’re kept on a lead, under control at all times and not left unattended. Barbecues are permitted on site, and you can pick up supplies for such things at either a farm shop or a supermarket, both of which are within a 10-minute drive. Getting out for a walk or bike ride is straightforward from this site as there are plenty of footpaths and quiet lanes nearby. Days out nearby might include history-based wanders at Sutton Hoo, Helmingham Hall and Framlingham Castle or coastal days in Orford and Aldeburgh (both half an hour away).
