There's something undeniably romantic about going glamping. Waking up in your tiny hut, cabin or yurt and peeping out of a window to the open countryside beyond; sheep in the distance, the steeple of a church prodding the skyline.

Of course, in reality, you needn't travel for hours to find such a peaceful retreat and there are plenty of excellent glamping sites for couples within easy reach of the capital.

Family Glamping Near London

It's not all about cosy shepherd's huts and glamping pod retreats, there are plenty of choices for families and larger groups looking for a glamping escape too. Safari tents are often the accommodation of choice – they're large, spacious and divided up into individual rooms – while yurts are also a popular option. Many glamping sites cater specifically to families, too, with added options like high-chairs, cots and baby changing facilities, along with family-sized washrooms and activities for kids. The best thing about glamping, of course, is the immediate access to the great outdoors and, with all that space to roam, children are in their element. There are trees to climb, frisbees to throw about, puddles to jump over and long wild grass to hide in – for a child's imagination there is not better holiday than a glamping trip.
