You can now camp at stately homes in the UK - here are the best from just £7.50pp

THE UK has hundreds of stately homes open to the public – when the country isn't in lockdown.

Many have now even opened their grounds to allow people to stay. Here are the best locations you can stay, ranging from campsites to lodge cabins.

Waddow Hall, Lancashire

Located on the grounds of the 17th century Waddow Hall, there are 178 acres surrounding the estate.

While you can simply camp here, there is lots to do such as high rope courses and rock climbing at the activity centre.

It also just a few miles from Clitheroe if you fancy a pub or restaurant for the evening.

Located in Dorset is Benville Manor, where you can camp in the meadow located between the estate gardens and woodlands.

There are showers, toilets and 4G reception, as well as firepits you can rent but the grounds offer a much wilder camping experience.

Kids will enjoy roaming the local wilderness and go back to basics.

For a much more luxurious stay, you can stay at a cabin on the Culdees Castle Estate in Scotland.

Located in a secluded forest, there are amazing views of the Highlands, especially of the lit-up castle in the evening.

For colder evenings, there is a hot tub and plenty of outdoor seating and blankets where you can watch out for wild deer.

Marston Park in Somerset is also open for camping with luxury bell tents for guests.

You won't be bored as the estate has events including craft classes and yoga, while pop up bars and food trucks can be found on-site.

It isn't far from Bath for Bridgerton fans as many scenes from the show were filmed there.

Paxton House Caravan Park, located in a walled garden on country grounds, lets guests stay on the estate of the 1763 home.

You can go for walks along the river or on boat trips down the Tweed or take the kids to the adventure playground.

Just a short drive is Berwick-upon-Tweed for shops and pubs.

Camping holidays are likely to be popular again this year as Brits choose a staycation due to travel restrictions abroad.

Here are some other campsites which still have availability this summer.
