About Bishops Lydeard Caravan and Camping Site
A peaceful touring and camping site spread across a two-acre field surrounded by protected woodland just on the edge of Bishops Lydeard village. The site is set in the grounds of the 18th-century Greenway House, a Grade II listed building. There are 20 tent pitches, 15 of which have 16 amp electric hook up. There are an additional six touring pitches with five of these having the same 16 amp electric hook up. All of the pitches are set on grass and are very spacious. This is a great choice for train enthusiasts looking to ride the Somerset steam railway, or anyone looking to relax amongst the calming countryside setting. You'll even share the space with, ducks, geese and chickens! Dogs are welcome onsite and there are plenty of nearby hikes and trails to take them on, just please keep them on the lead when on site. Dogs listed in the Dangerous Dogs Act are not permitted. Fire pits are not allowed but BBQs are, just make sure to raise them off the ground so that the grass doesn't get damaged.
Bishops Lydeard Caravan and Camping Site is open from 24/04 to 30/10.
There are mobile toilets on site and a large shower room with sink.
The Quantock Brewery, steam railway station and farm shop are within a few minutes walk. Bishops Lydeard village is a ten minute walk away, where you'll find a Co-Op and petrol station. There are also two pubs and a Chinese takeaway.

A beautiful location with a quiet and grassy field overlooking a meadow, with a very pretty view and entertaining chickens. The pitches are well spaced on the grass and it was an easy walk into Cheddar village. The owners were friendly and helpful and the Toilets are portaloos but they were clean. We would recommend and will come again.

Great little site located behind the owners house. She breeds poultry, not a problem for us, the the constant cockerel calls may be for some. Large open grass pitches, with slight ridges and furrows, so finding an exact flat spot could be tricky. Shower is a large hut with a gas fired shower, over a large tray with a curtain. Plenty of room for family showers. Toilets were off the porta-loo variety, but all clean and tidy. The owner was very pleasant and greeted us upon arrival. Informed us of the facilities and local amenities. Can recommend the Chef and Brewer pub back towards Taunton. The site is walking distance to the Somerset railway which takes you all the way to Minehead. Great for a day out, and beautiful scenery along the way. There's a tap brewery next door to the railway also, but not much else. Footpath right from the entrance to the site, and a small woodland we were told we could go into, but no paths. Getting into the site was fine but a little tight getting out with our 8mt twin axle.
