the field kitchen at fallow fields
Kent
Selson Farm sits in a gentle valley on the eastern edge of the North Downs in
Kent. You’ll be surrounded by beautiful apple, pear and cherry orchards, with
plenty of asparagus fields nearby too. The camping field itself is a good
four-acres, completely flat and lined with trees for shade and shelter. David is
an ex-army Major and runs the farm. It was bought by his grandfather in the
1920s, who became a renowned English fruit grower. With a spread of crops,
there’s always something being harvested in most of the summer. In May, you can
pick fresh asparagus and there’s early apples in August. All of the produce is
sold locally, either at the farm gate or in farm shops and greengrocers. Our
apples and pears also end up in the big supermarkets. Lathe Barn is our newer
campsite offering. It boasts over 10 acres of sprawling grounds, situated only
two miles inland from the stunning Dymchurch seafront. It also benefits from
incredible views of the surrounding hills and you can even see Lympne Castle
too. It’s an absolutely wonderful spot to stay with the family, with plenty of
activities happening on the grounds and loads of things to do nearby.
