Description
Under the Stars by National Trust Books and Sian Lewis is your guide to inspiring and exciting places to camp and glamp in Britain.
A camping trip is the perfect antidote to fast-paced living, offering a chance to watch stars emerge one by one, take a stroll or a swim, cook over open flames, and breathe fresh air.
In this book, we’ve uncovered some of the wildest, weirdest, and most wonderful campsites across these islands. Whether you prefer classic canvas accommodations or something cosier with home comforts, you’ll find options that suit your taste. From mountain perches to coastal campsites, and treehouses overlooking the rolling waves in England’s South West to bothies in Scotland’s remote highlands, these sites open doors to the most beautiful corners of Britain, promising unique adventures.
This book is the perfect gift for anyone looking to connect with the great outdoors in Great Britain.
