BROOK HOUSE WOODS, HEREFORDSH­IRE

- Stay safe: Stay safe: Stay safe:

A red goji berry, strung up between trees, makes for a striking home in a bluebell wood. Goji has a glass roof to enable stargazing from the bed below it. There is a log burner too, and decking with views of the Malvern Hills. Goji has access to a camp kitchen, bathroom, fire pit and pizza oven – shared with a Hobbit Hut. Elsewhere on this site are luxurious treehouses – one with a rolltop bath on the veranda. A secret woodland cinema using Bluetooth headphones is new for the summer.

WARDLEY HILL, NORFOLK

This environmen­tally friendly site near Bungay Castle offers those it jokingly describes as “too posh to pitch” some unusual accommodat­ion options. Stargazer tents are preerected for dreamers wishing to stare up at the night sky, tiny huts come equipped with hammocks, and suspended tents stretch between tree trunks above the woodland floor. Standard bell tents and shepherd huts are available too, a short walk from wildflower meadows, a campfire area and a stream. Stand-up paddleboar­ds can be rented and taken down the River Waveney.

The location of each simple cabin and yurt has been carefully thought out, while the shared kitchen, treehouse showers and rope bridges add to the feeling of living in a woodland village. A nearby lake is a serene spot for swimming and canoeing. There is midweek availabili­ty left in August, but sister site, The Farm Camp, is 15 minutes away and has weekend availabili­ty in yurts.

CRAFTY CAMPING, DORSET

One of the original glamping sites and still one of the best, Crafty Camping’s showpiece is a grand treehouse that, along with yurts and a shepherd’s hut, is hidden in a dense wood. The treehouse was built around an old oak tree and won an architectu­ral award from RIBA. Windows frame the surroundin­g branches, while the deck
