Camping in Somerset part I

We enjoyed camping last year in Wales but this year we have chosen an up-and-coming Eco-friendly campsite just outside of Wells in Somerset called Wookey Farm.  It is a small family run Goat farm,  producing its own products but they also have a few other animals too such as sheep and pigs.

Its a new camp site but it does have electrical hook-up if you want it and the pitches are big.  The only downside is that there aren't any showers but there are toilets, they're compost toilets, which was an experience and they're not for everyone but they're not all the different from using your own chemical toilet really.

This time I made sure to get some photos of the tent.  Technically its bigger than last year because we have bought an extension to fit on the front of the main tent so that all the cooking equipment can be kept out there and the cooking can be done out the way of the kids.  It has lots of air vents, roll-up privacy curtains, fly net doors, two large bedrooms and storm porch but we use the storm porch to house the chemical toilet as we leave the privacy curtains in place and it has its own zip door from the main tent so its like its own little room.

The farm has Toggenberg goats, a dairy breed, and the farm produces goat's milk, goat's cheese and other products to sell in their little farm shop, at farmer's markets and I think they sell them online too but I'm not 100% sure on that.  You are encouraged to go see the goats and they are milked at certain times of the day so you can go and watch that too.  Our little dog, Ruby was fascinated with them.

I took a video of the goats being milked.

We did so much on this holiday that I am having to split it into parts.  See you in Part II, hopefully.
