Will Taylor bought the land here a generation ago and built his farmhouse from scratch: a carbon-neutral, turf-roofed dwelling that must have seemed quite revolutionary at the time. The low-impact eco-house sets the tone for the rest of Karma Farm, which straddles the Suffolk-Cambridgeshire border. The campsite occupies a pretty spot by the side of the river Lark, with 40 unmarked tent pitches – visitors can simply stroll around and choose the nook they most fancy. There are also a couple of yurts, furnished inside with king-sized beds made from the farm’s own wood, and a three-berth wooden clad cabin, with its own en-suite facilities. 

In keeping with the rustic vibe, campfires are permitted, with wood available at the farmhouse. There’s a games field and covered shed for rainy days, plus a brand new block of washroom facilities, including a large shower room into which you could fit your whole family (or a very friendly group). 

But perhaps the best thing about Karma Farm is its location right by the river. A track follows the river for seven miles to Prickwillow, while in the other direction a path takes you to the Jude’s Ferry Inn about two miles away – choices to be considered over a breakfast of Will’s free-range sausages and bacon.

As well as the walks and cycle rides along the river, and birdwatching on site, both Wicken Fen and RSPB Lakenheath are a short drive away.

Food and drink

The village of Isleham is a 20-minute walk and has shops and 2 pubs, The Griffin (01638 780447) and The Rising Sun (01638 780741), both of which do reasonable food. There’s also a relatively upmarket restaurant, the Merry Monk (01638 780900), which Will says is good. You can also walk to the Jude’s Ferry pub (01638 712277), a lovely 2-mile walk along the river.
