Whether it's evening ambles and brunches down The Cobb harbour or rummaging for fossils somewhere in the sand, Chippers Field is well-situated for taking up activities on the seaside around Lyme Regis. Three miles from the ancient town, this quiet adults-only site has its own scenery for show, as the south-facing tree-lined terrace field is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with plenty of wildlife in the field. On Raymond's Hill, you'll be just off the A35 and a few minutes' walk away from a bus stop, so getting about shouldn't be a problem. In fact, there's the market village of Axminster five minutes' drive away (for walks along the river Axe perhaps, or a foodie-style trip out?)Of course, Lyme Regis is 10 minutes' drive away too… just the spot for pubs, restaurants and shops, strolls along The Cobb or putting in a plan of action for the Jurassic Coast's renowned fossil-hunting stretch between the town and the Golden Cap Estate.When you don't feel like going very far at all, there's a pub serving food just a few minutes' walk from the site or a local shop for all the basics next door to the pub for snack gathering (ready for local walks and cycling trails, perhaps?) You may have already seen it on the telly, but River Cottage (the same name for the TV show) is also half an hour's walk away and runs a cookery school or dining events.

Merrydown Camping Certificated Site

The campsite is for the use of tents and small campervans (VW T series, Transits etc.) I'm afraid we do not allow caravans or motorhomes.

You are welcome to have fires at the campsite. You can buy wood here, or bring your own. I recommend bringing a small axe. NB: Please don't burn wood with nails or screws in. Please use an existing fire site where possible. The stones on the farm are not suitable for use around the fire as they explode.

There is a stand pipe next to the compost loo. The water on the farm comes from a spring and is agricultural grade, therefore I recommend boiling it before drinking.

There are compost and long drop loos. Please throw a handful of sawdust into the toilet, once you have finished. The toilets are for human waste and paper only.

The compost loos have a pee separator in them. Please try to avoid throwing loo paper and sawdust down them as they will block. Its probably best to accompany small children to ensure they sit well back on the toilet for obvious reasons.

The showers are gas and electric power showers. If there is a problem with them give me a call. Please leave them as you found them.

Dogs are welcome on the camp site, please make sure they are under control at all times. Please make sure you clean up after your dog. I recommend bringing a little shovel so you can hook any poo discreetly into the bottom of the hedge. If you must use little bags please dispose of them yourself, please DO NOT hang them in the hedges, leave them by the toilets or showers or put them in the compost loo.

**Noise**

Please be mindful of noise, both for your fellow campers and my neighbours. It does feel remote here but I do have residential neighbours on all sides and the wind is pretty good at carrying sound a fair distance. I politely request that there is no amplified music.


This is a working farm so please be aware that there may tractors and other machinery going about their business. For this reason please keep to the field that the camping area is in. There are also temporary dwellings on the holding that seasonal workers are residing in, please respect their privacy.
