1/8

If you’ve got hiking or cycling blood in your veins and you’re looking for a thoroughly sustainable camping break, how about bedding down in paddocks or private woodland at car-free Wild Camping at Dark Lane? Set in the peaceful Wiltshire village of East Grafton, the site is just off National Cycle Route 4 and near to the Pewsey Vale Circular Way hiking and cycling route. Bang in the middle of the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the off-grid, pick-your-own pitches are a doddle to access without a car (please note that there is no car parking on site or nearby in the village). Arriving by bus? The number 22 meanders via Hungerford (15 minutes, with a mainline railway station) and Marlborough (also 15 minutes) and stops about five minutes’ walk away. From London, jump on a train from Paddington to Great Bedwyn (40 minutes’ walk; you can stock up on supplies in the handy stores) and enjoy a stroll along the glorious Kennet and Avon Canal to the site. Burbage (45 minutes’ walk) has more shops and laundry facilities. Perhaps most importantly, there are foodie spots within walking distance too. Closest is the pub serving locally sourced food and drink in the village of Wilton (half an hour’s walk). On site, low-key facilities include wash basins, separate composting toilets for ladies and gents, washing-up facilities and running water from a solar-powered borehole – bring your own drinking water. Dark Lane is also a dark skies site, so you may well spot the Milky Way on clear nights.

Lokale seværdigheder

Local footpaths pose challenging treks or gentle meanders, and for anyone with even a passing interest in history, the camping field itself is situated at the base of the footpath to Wolfhall (15 minutes’ walk), the ancestral home of Henry VIII’s third bride, Jane Seymour. Nearby, the ancient Savernake Forest (35 minutes by bike) was once Henry’s hunting ground and today it is criss-crossed with walking and cycling trails. Other historic hiking and biking routes include The Ridgeway (an hour), which runs over ancient paths once used by cow herders and soldiers, while the Vale of Pewsey (40 minutes) has walking, cycling and riding options a-plenty passing pretty villages. Heritage sites are in no short supply in this area either. Built in 1821, Wilton Windmill (10 minutes) is notable for being the only operational mill in Wiltshire, while Crofton Beam Engines (five minutes) charts local industry at a former pumping station. You can also cycle to the Pewsey White Horse, carved out of the chalk hillside in the 1930s, in just under an hour.

Areal til telt eller til trailer-telt græs og jord uden elektricitet (backpacker, ingen biler)

Syntes om: Really pretty site and well looked after to give the wild camping feel. The compost toilet is very well kept and in a friendly welcoming hut. The owner was super attentive and caring. Liked to find a spot on the hill side amongst the grass and trees as my tent is tiny and can pitch in small area.

Areal til telt eller til trailer-telt græs og jord uden elektricitet (backpacker, ingen biler)

Syntes om: Lovely quiet sites in a great location, eco-friendly, nice loo!

Syntes ikke om: No drinking water available yet- will be especially important when it’s solely wild camping- it would be tough to show up hiking or cycling and not have water

Anbefal til venner Besøg igen

Fra bestyreren: Thank you for your kind comments and for staying with us. I completely agree with the need for drinking water so we do supply drinking water in a water carrier. It was under the table in the wash up area so I will make it more obvious next time!

A peaceful site where you feel really at one with nature - perfect!

Areal til telt eller til trailer-telt græs og jord uden elektricitet (backpacker, ingen biler)

Syntes om: Simplicity of campsite, that no cars were allowed as it’s ideal for cycle tourers, the tranquility of the site, it had water/toilets, great hospitality from Louise providing us with local milk and more if we wanted.

Anbefal til venner Besøg igen

Fra bestyreren: Thank you so much for your kind feedback. Nature is crying out for us all to reduce our carbon footprint and we are now dedicating our wild camping to cyclists, walkers and those people travelling to us by public transport. GWR tells us that leaving your car at home and taking the train cuts carbon emissions by two thirds!

Loved the secluded and serene feel of the pitch up - also…

Areal til telt eller til trailer-telt græs og jord uden elektricitet (backpacker, ingen biler)

Syntes om: Loved the secluded and serene feel of the pitch up - also the small lovely touches of having a local dairy farm’s milk on offer to drink as well as a grill/firepit available to book! It was definitely the off the grid experience we were looking for with our busy London lives!

Anbefal til venner Besøg igen

Fra bestyreren: Lovely to have your feedback and glad the milk was appreciated. We have ordered a fresh drinking water container to offer to other walkers and cyclists who need a top up!

Beautiful spot with lovely walking areas and lovely hosts…
