About this campspace

Our English country garden is surrounded by trees and flowers, bundles of blackberries, raspberries, English Victoria Plums and famous Kent Cob Nuts at the right time of year. We have a pool table and a table tennis table, guests are welcome to play. Access through a side gate means you are free to come to go without accessing the main house.
The garden is located in Wilmington Village, 5 minutes from local shops (Co-op, Costcutters and various takeaways) and 2 well-stocked farm shops providing local Kent produce. Thursday is Wilmington farmers' market in our local village hall, 2 minutes walk.
Larger supermarkets are located 10 minute drive away (Sainsbury/Asda/Lidl).
Links in to London are very accessible, can be in Central London in 30 minutes by train - stations are 10 minute drive to Bexley for London Charing Cross or 15 minutes to Swanley for London Victoria. Abbey Wood station is a 15-20 minute drive and serves the Elizabeth Line so London can be accessed very quickly from here (Canary Wharf 2 stops 11 minutes, Tottenham Court Road 6 stops 23 minutes). Greenwich and The O2 is 20 minutes car ride and from here you can access many restaurants and bars, the Cutty Sark, Maritime Museum, Royal Observatory and also can board the Uber Boat into Central London.

Locally we have farm shops one with a cafe serving breakfast, tea/coffee and cake, the other offering seasonable activities such as strawberry picking. There is also Birchwood golf with a driving range close by. Rowhill Grange is a beautiful spa facilities offering treatments as well as a lovely afternoon tea and is close by car or a 15-20 minute walk.
