Aylton Motorhome & Caravan Site

In a pretty setting on a bend in the River Wye, looking across to the Herefordshire hills, this delightful church enjoys a rich collection of monuments, beautiful stained glass windows as well as an unusual 17th-century font and the carvings on the medieval stalls.

The Scudamore family were patrons of the church from Medieval times until the twentieth century, and their monuments are a spectacular treasure. John Scudamore, who died in 1571 lies beside his wife on a tomb chest, decked out in full armour. James Scudamore, who died in 1668, wears Roman costume in a great wedding cake of a wall monument – possibly by Grinling Gibbons. Beautiful stained glass also delights the eye. Most of it is nineteenth and twentieth century, though the chancel north window is made up of fragments of medieval glass.

Holme Lacy, Herefordshire – St Cuthbert’s Church

Max. 2 Adults and 2 Children per Bell Tent

Our 2 gorgeous five metre 'fully furnished' Bell Tents - Bell Tent Boutique - 5m 360gsm Fireproof Pro Bell Tent with stove hole - are set on individual plateaus on the east facing slope of the valley. They are sumptuously furnished with just about everything you’ll need and come complete with their own wood burning stove, fire pit, grill, kettle, and a cooking tripod with a Dutch Oven in which you can cook just about anything from bread to a roast dinner. Each of our furnished bell tents now has it's own kitchen shelter too.

There is a double bed, plus camping beds available upon request for extra guests (but you'll need sleeping bags for these). There is also a double ring gas stove in our new kitchen shelter, plus all the pots, pans, and utensils you’ll need for your stay. Best of all there is a wood burning stove to keep you warm if the evenings or mornings get a bit chilly. We provide an initial ‘fire pack’ comprising of a basket of logs, a bundle of kindling, firelighters and a box of matches. More of all of these can be bought from our honesty shop.

We suggest you bring a torch and a battery powered light for use inside the tent and for those midnight toilet trips, as well as sleeping bags for the kids, wellies, warm clothing, towels, tea towels, dish cloths or sponges, and food.

The Bell Tents are just a stroll from the toilet, shower and washing-up facilities and are just a short walk from the carpark. The site itself is car free and off grid (no power in the tents). 

Wheelbarrows are available to cart your belongings from car to tent.


Fully Furnished Bell Tent

The site itself is actually an untamed ancient orchard that slopes down to woodland and a stream that marks the boundary of our land. You will be camping amongst the wildflowers and the unusual ‘otherworldly’ ant hills that tell us that this land has been undisturbed for centuries.

The opportunities for wildlife ‘safaris’ are endless, from your run of the mill rabbits and more than our fair share of woodland birds, to badgers, foxes and muntjac deer roaming around your tent at night, to sightings of fallow deer and buzzards, sparrow hawks and the occasional red kite flying overhead.

We allow camp fires, as long as they are off the ground (firepits available on site) and we have nets of logs and kindling for sale at our honesty shop, we also sell (amongst other things) locally produced meat for breakfast and your bbq's, as well as the obligatory marshmallows to toast over the campfire.

Facilities are basic, but comfortable and clean. At the moment we have a couple of composting toilets, a gas shower and a covered washing up area. There is no electricity on the campsite and the lighting in the facilities block is solar powered, so you may need to bring a torch to find your way to the loo at night.

The field is a car free site, which is perfect for families, it’s a short walk from the car park, and you can borrow one of wheel barrows to ferry your gear. 

 Grass Pitches

Hidden Valley Camping is a small, family run glamping and camping site located in the beautiful Teme Valley, in a spectacular "you could be anywhere on the planet" setting.
If it's camping under the stars that you're after, then look no further; we boast an enormous dark night sky - forget the stars, you'll be spotting galaxies!

Dawn brings the most amazing spectacle; just as the sun starts to peak through the canvas of your tent, the thousands of birds that you share Hidden Valley with say their good mornings with an incredible dawn chorus - something that must be heard to be believed.

We are keen campers ourselves and we know the importance of having your own space. Theres nothing worse than site owners cramming as many tents into their fields as they can. Hidden Valley is a place of solitude, and with only 2 bell tents and a handful of tent pitches on our site (which is part of an ancient 9 acre orchard), you are guaranteed plenty of space.
