Camping: Get Up Close with the Great Outdoors

From the coauthor of The Campfire Cookbook , a practical and inspirational guide to enjoying the Great British outdoors

From the peaks of Great Langdale to the beaches of Lundy Island, there has never been a better way to explore the best of the British countryside, whether you want to do it under canvas or in a glamorous yurt. As well as a guide to all the locations and types of campsite the National Trust has—many in stunning scenery—this book offers practical information about everything from the best kind of tent to what kind of boots will keep blisters at bay. There's also a range of recipes that you can cook outdoors, even pizzas and cakes, so you can eat like royalty in the wilderness. There are also games and outdoor adventures for all ages—pond dipping and tracking wildlife get you up close to nature, while kite-flying and building a woodland den bring out the adventurer in everyone.
