Luxury camping and glamping in the heart of the Weald of Kent
Little Halden Farm is enviably nestled in the heart of the Weald of Kent – a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a scenic, chalky landscape woven with interesting footpaths. Though the glampsite is a relatively new venture, the family-run farm is in its fifth generation and its name sake summer camping site has been running for several years, so it’s fair to say that current owners, Jon and Sara, aren’t exactly new to the area. Now with a bunch of happy glampers to accommodate it’s clear they’re in their element, beaming as they gesture out across the open fields explaining the easy walking route down to the pub in Rolvenden.

The range of accommodation on offer means couples looking for nights under canvas are just as well catered for as larger families seeking self-catered seclusion. Options include safari lodges, yurts and their newest offering, the Hopper Huts – converted stable-like buildings with a cosy ambience inside. All come kitted throughout with the likes of double beds, wood burners and a 3-ring gas stove, while the gentle, south-facing slope of the field means they’re blessed by sun from first thing in the morning until late in the afternoon (as well as good views towards Tenterden below).

Visitors exploring the farm will find acres of open space for children to play, explore and monkey about in, most notably building dens in the adjacent stretch of woodland. A walk around reveals countless interesting sights too. The area is abuzz with wildlife, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled for foxes, weasels, deer and buzzards, plus cows and sheep in the field next door. There’s even an elusive black rabbit, though their nocturnal nature and the darkness of the nights here mean they’re never easy to come by. Come evening every critter has flitterred away into the trees with the occasional soft coo or a rustle amongst the branches to remind you of their presence. It’s a pleasure too, when you hear them, only serving as a reminder of how peaceful this part of England really is.

Nearby attractions

Where to begin? Leeds Castle, 'Loveliest Castle in World', is but a short drive away. The National Trust-run Bodiam Castle is a mere 20 minutes in the car. Entry to the grounds is free, but the entry fee to the castle (adults £7/children £3.50) is worth it for the views from the top of the towers. They also host various events and family fun days throughout the year. While not make your way there by the Bodiam ferry which gently cruises down the peaceful River Rother. Kids will love the Kent and East Sussex Railway, an old steam train that chugs from Bodiam Castle to Tenterden. The huge sandy beach of Camber Sands is about half an hour away (17 miles) and well worth a visit on a sunny day. Be sure to check out Bedgebury Forest & Pinetum for nature trails, horse riding and mountain biking. The medieval port town of Rye is not too far either—its quaint cobbled streets and rickety, timber-framed houses are a quintessential slice of olde English charm.

Food and drink

Grill your own on the gas stoves and camp fires. Family butchers, Ward & Sons in nearby Benenden does some fantastic cuts of meat. You can store your perishables in the 30li cool box kindly provided. The pretty village of Rolvenden is a mere 20 minute amble from the farm where the Bull Inn is the local pub. Here you'll find a well-stocked village shop selling all the essentials plus the local specialty, Korker Sausages. The village also hosts a farmers' market every Thursday. Rolvenden even boasts its very own micro-brewery in The Old Dairy. For a wider selection of shops, bars and restaurants, Tenterden is a 5 minute drive away. The surrounding area is served by some great little pubs including The Bell (01797 280 242) in nearby Iden. Rumour has it this ancient former monastery hides a secret tunnel connecting the cellar to the local church. Nowadays, you'll find a friendly welcome as well as some fine local brews and hearty pub fayre.
