Today, after an even shorter drive from Devizes, we arrived at Glastonbury. We will be spending the next few nights at one of the best campsites in the UK. Old Oaks Touring and Glamping park is an adults only site situated a 1.5 mile walk from the centre of Glastonbury and a shorter walk to Glastonbury Tor. It is extremely popular and very challenging to secure a booking – we had managed just two nights!

First impressions are excellent. Large spacious pitches, separated by hedges and large grassed areas, this site eludes space, privacy and tranquility. We didn’t figure out all the pitch options although ours was fully serviced and only the second rung up the ladder of luxury. Plenty of space and nice and secluded with hedging on either side.

The shade was perfect for surviving the extreme heatwave which is now upon us.

The amenity blocks are just the best we’ve seen in the UK – tiling and facilities one would be proud to have at home. A sofa and chairs at the entrance to the amenity block to relax while you wait for the washing to finish or the other half to finish washing the pots!

There’s also a well-stocked shop and fishing lake.

We don’t expect to be doing too much over the coming days as the daytime forecast is closing in on 40 degrees. We had early 30s today and then a rain shower on our walk around the woodland, fishing lake and chicken pens.

After a relaxing few nights at Old Oaks, we headed home to East Devon, bringing our July tour to a close and a busy time ahead to sort out our somewhat neglected garden.
