TRAVEL
SETTLE, NORFOLK
The perfect place to switch off from the world, Settle in South Norfolk offers a blissfully peaceful trip surrounded by mature trees, lakes and native wildlife. Guests can stay in a safari tent in the ‘canvas camp’, or level up the luxury in a lovingly refurbished vintage railway carriage – whose immaculately rustic styling is straight out of an interiors magazine. There’s also a beautiful Scandinavian- inspired lakeside cabin for the taking, boasting panoramic views, private yoga decks, an outdoor wood-fired bath, snug bedroom and airy, open-plan living space. When you need supplies, you can pick up goodies at the Settle Store, and in the morning, cabin and carriage guests are treated to a signature breakfast basket brimming with local produce, including fresh sourdough, raw butter, fresh coffee and organic oats.
Over in our neighbouring county, Colchester’s Layer Marney Tower offers glampers a chance to stay on Henry VIII’s old stomping ground next to a truly stunning Tudor gatehouse – the tallest in England. When booking a stay, you get free access to explore Layer Marney Tower, learn about its storied history, and climb to the top for breathtaking views all the way out to the sea. Six well-equipped tents make up the glamp site, which boasts relaxing hot tubs, cosy campfires and blissful peace and quiet. GLAMPING AT LAYER MARNEY TOWER, ESSEX
