We have lots to see and do in the local area, both here on site or further afield. The   Woodland   Hut   on   site   has   an   abundance   of   information   about   local   wildlife:   maybe   you   will   see   the   Barn   Owl   swooping   by   or   the   Badgers whose setts take up one edge of the wood. Campers can sometimes help bottle feed calves on the farm or see new chicks that have hatched.  The llamas Quentin and Herbert are usually grazing a meadow near to the campsite and are very partial to the llama feed we sell in the shop. We   provide   maps   of   walks   around   the   farm   or   further   afield:      Tiger   Hill   Wood   is   close   by,   where   you   can   follow   the   footpath   through   the   woods   and paddle   in   the   Assington   Brook.      Arger   Fen   Nature   Reserve   provides   longer   walks,   or   perhaps   you   will   want   to   visit   Chapel   Barn   and   see   the   famous Bures Dragon. The   campsite   is   situated   half   way   between   the   villages   of   Bures   and   Assington.   Assington   has   a   pub,   farm   shop   and   cafe.   Bures   holds   a   market   on its   ancient   common   once   a   month   and   hearty   meals   are   available   at   the   Eight   Bells   pub.   Bures   village   shop   and   the   Deli   offer   local   produce   and essential supplies. There   are   beautiful   cycle   routes   in   the   area,   as   long   as   you   don’t   mind   hills!   The   Dedham   vale   has   7   popular   cycling   routes   to   download. https://www.dedhamvalestourvalley.org/visiting/visitor-information/visitor-guides/cycle-guides/     We    have    several    adult    bikes    which,    for    a    small deposit, campers are welcome to borrow.
