Ling's Meadow is all about a slower pace of life - whether it be lying among the tall meadow grasses listening to bird song, or stargazing around an open fire. It is also a celebration of the great outdoors, where you can lose yourself in bug hunting, den building, kite flying and campfire cooking.
We are only able to accommodate up to twenty five guests at a time so the site is naturally quite quiet and has a relaxed, friendly and communal feel. As we are small the meadow is also perfect for groups of family or friends who would like to book the whole site for a get together. The campsite is surrounded by our 80 acre farm where we grow herbal leys, wild flower meadows and clover mixes for wildlife.
A stardome, pre-pitched bell tents and six camping pitches are set within a peaceful four acre natural meadow that is also visited by a barn owl, hares, deer and buzzards on a regular basis. They each have their own outdoor seating area and fire pit with tripod and hanging grill.
The light and airy 6m stardome sleeps up to five in a double bed, single bunks and two single futons. The stardome has its own wood burning stoves. Linen is provided but please bring towels. The StarDome is equipped with everything that you will need for your stay - from cooking equipment, cool boxes and a fire pit with grill to a selection of good books!
You could also choose to book a Slow camping base camp. The camp includes an empty bell tent with coir mat floor, a canvas tarp shelter, fire pit with hanging grill, picnic bench and outdoor cooking kit. We include a kindling rocket stove, kelly kettle and set of cast iron pans.
Each of the meadow tent pitches is set within its own cut grass circle and has enough space for a large family tent. The meadow is car free and a large area is left untouched to protect the local wildlife. Fire pits and picnic benches are provided at each pitch.
The campsite is very much off grid and has been lovingly developed with sustainability in mind. Two luxury composting toilets and a separate wood heated shower are provided in purpose built wooden pods. Water is recycled using marginal plants as natural filters and waste recycling facilities are available in the camp kitchen.
Campers have access to a timber framed camp kitchen and canvas dining tent. Also provided is a cycle shed with tool kit and local route information. Bikes to borrow.
Ling's Meadow is within walking distance of a popular farm shop and a local pub serving good food. National Cycle Network Route 13, Regional Route 30, the Wolf Way and the Rebellion Way run just a mile to the north of the campsite and the start of The Peddars Way walk is only 3 miles down the road.
The campsite is very centrally placed and is convenient for exploring Bury St Edmunds, Cambridge and Norwich. It is also only an hour's drive from the beautiful Suffolk and Norfolk coastlines, and 90 minutes by train or car from London.
