A photographer came to stay at Horton View Farm
Image by @poppyhollis Recently we were lucky enough to have photographer Poppy Hollis as a guest here at Horton View Farm. Poppy stayed in a fully furnished bell tent for two nights. I thought (and hoped) she might take a few snaps on her phone and maybe share something on her Instagram stories, but to my delight she took lots of absolutely stunning photos. She even got up at dawn (which is pretty darn early at this time of year) and captured the most magical images. As an ar

Birdlife, wildlife and the outdoor life: glamping at Horton View Farm Camping & Bell Tents
Here at Horton View Farm we think the essence of camping and outdoor life is experiencing nature in close proximity, and we're doing what we can to increase biodiversity on the site, including growing the grass on the meadow and allowing the resident 'weeds' to do their thing. Mallow furnished bell tent with views over the Kent North Downs Our small, adults-only site is nestled at the foot of the North Downs, between the pretty Kent villages of Stowting and Brabourne, and it'

Beaches to visit while camping & glamping: Sandgate.
A charming seaside village full of hidden gems. Colourful houses near the beach in Sandgate Sandgate is a lovely little coastal village between Hythe and Folkestone, a little hidden gem that's full of independent cafes and shops and also has a great beach. You can easily spend an hour or so wandering the high street and then cutting through onto the nearby beach.

Best local walks and hikes while camping at Horton View Farm
We think a short break should be a proper break, and here at Horton View Farm we're all about really switching off from the day to day noise and chaos and doing activities that nourish the soul. That doesn't necessarily mean doing nothing (although that's fine too!) but it does mean leaving with more of a feeling of wellbeing than when you arrived. As walking in nature is scientifically proven to have a positive effect on mental health, we thought we would bring together some

Scenic pub walks and the best places to eat and drink in the area
Although we enjoy all the benefits of a rural location - scenic views, peace and quiet, an abundance of nature - we are lucky enough to have easy access to many excellent places to eat and drink. One of the joys of camping in the countryside is a scenic walk or cycle to a local pub for a drink and a bite to eat. Whether you want to walk, cycle or hop in the car, we can recommend plenty of great local businesses. There's three local pubs within a half-hour walk. The Black Hor
