1. Grassy meadow yurt with valley view (from USD 86)

Head over to Edenbridge, a delightful town just south of London, for some yurt camping that will let you disconnect, unwind, and refresh. The yurt sits on an organic dairy farm, Bore Place, and is totally off-grid, so you can look forward to peaceful activities such as stargazing and taking nature walks. Although you’ll be provided with a candle lamp, the host recommends that guests also bring emergency flashlights.

Moreover, a composting toilet is available near the yurt, while bathrooms with showers are a short walk away. As Bore Place is an active dairy farm and a popular wedding destination, the host notes that you might experience noise during your stay.
