Great site & Best wildflower meadow ever
Ham Farm
Beautifully kept site; welcoming and extremely helpful owner; lovely stream with access for dogs and children to paddle from a little beach; picnic tables; the most orchids and other wildflowers I think you’d find anywhere! Literally thousands of orchids- so pretty. Owner Phil has mowed through the middle and all around the edge of the meadow (which I reckon is at least 3 acres) which makes a lovely walk with (or without) a dog! There is lots to do locally: the interesting market towns of Frome and Shepton Mallet, both of which have nice parks for adults, dogs and children alike. And of course, there is the beautiful cathedral city of Wells and the city of Bath. Not too far away is the amazing Cheddar Gorge and caves.
Just a short walk from the site is a pub/restaurant/café and farm shop. There is a Co-op in the nearby village of Coleford. Great CL either just to rest and unwind, enjoy the local walks or visiting the many attractions of this part of Somerset.

Lovely well kept site
Ham Farm
We booked a 5 night stay to use a gift of afternoon tea on the East Somerset Railway. We were met on arrival by Phil the owner, what a nice chap, he was extremely helpful and supplied us with a local OS map pointing out local walks, pubs and a coffee shop. A nice stream on site with a man made sandy beach. Also a picnic bench was provided but unfortunately the weather was so awful we were not able to utilise the facilities on site or take advantage of the many local walks. Phil came round in the afternoon with excess produce from his allotment too - what a bonus, the home grown cucumbers were delicious, thank you Phil.

Very quiet and picturesque site
Ham Farm
We stayed one night only. As it had rained constantly for two days, the owner had suggested we park in the farmyard across the road from the CL, which we did. This also had ECU and water points, plus a chemical toilet dump facility. We enjoyed a very peaceful night and would happily have done some local walking (there are many footpaths) if it hadn’t been so wet. We were sorry not to see the owner who was in hospital on the day we visited.

Perfect!
Ham Farm
Was sent detailed instruction on how to find this lovely site, met on arrival by owner and given very useful information and local site map.. Lovely location with river on site ideal for touring area or resting. Well maintained- could it be improved? water tap was across the road causing me mild exercise so only 99.99% seems fair. Will we go back- yes most likely
Perfect
Ham Farm
The welcome with a map of the numerous footpath , the beautiful steam that runs through site with a sandy beach! The amazing wild flower meadow with orchids with walkways through meadow so you could enjoy the full experience.
The grass was neat , short , cut frequently even the grass verges were carefully trimmed with margins of wild grasses..
Just a perfect site. Thank you Phil.
