Coombe Abbey
Less than a 15 minute drive from Meadow Field Luxury Glamping is Coombe Abbey. Whether you are looking for a fun-filled, family-friendly day out, an afternoon of walking and exploring, or a space to spot a whole host of wildlife, then Coombe Abbey has something for everyone (even our furry friends).

And if it’s just a walk you’re after, the only thing you will need to pay for is parking.

For adrenalin lovers, there is also an on-site ‘Go Ape’, offering a number of high rope and treetop challenges, plus a 200 metre zip wire.
Ryton Pools Country Park
Ryton Pools Country Park is the perfect location for anyone, whether it’s by bike or foot (and with your dog) – just hop on the surfaced path, which makes exploring the site easier than ever. Pack up a picnic with the family, feed the ducks, let the little ones enjoy a runaround in two play areas or build a den in the miniature wood – great for small minds!

Located just under half an hour away from our glamping site is Coventry’s War Memorial Park. Opened originally in July 1921 as a tribute to the 2,587 locals from Coventry who died between 1914 and 1918 during the First World War. Inside the park, visitors will find the city’s impressive 90 foot war memorial monument, as well as multiple facilities including football pitches, bowling greens, a small golf course, all-weather tennis courts, a splash area (for sunnier months) and a playground. The site mainly comprises of large green spaces, decorated with trees and shrubbery, lined with a path that encircles the entire park. After letting your dog burn off some energy, head to one of the on-site cafes – and, if you’re heading there at the weekend or during the summer holidays, don’t forget to grab an ice cream at the Gelato Bar.
