Living in Bristol, we don’t need to go far to find unique spots for a weekend away – and one of those is a site an hour’s drive from Bristol overlooking Glastonbury Tor and with a wild swimming pond.<\/p>\n

Glastonbury Wild Glamping is among the top recommendations in the area, according to Pitch Up.<\/p>\n

The site is described as featuring “luxury yurts on a peaceful glamping site overlooking Glastonbury”.<\/p>\n

On its description, it says: “It\u2019s all in the name \u2013 the 18-foot yurts at Back To Nature will indeed get you back to nature.<\/p>\n

“They are tucked into the far end of a wildflower meadow overlooking the historic Glastonbury Tor.<\/p>\n

“Their paddock has been planted with wildflowers and trees, and on site, there is a natural wild swimming pond (again, with views of Glastonbury Tor).<\/p>\n

“Set in central Somerset, the yurts are an excellent spot to totally switch off.”<\/p>\n

It says that the yurts are furnished with India-inspired interiors and include wood burning stoves. It is also apparently possible to watch the sunset over Glastonbury Tor from your bed.<\/p>\n

The site has had two 5* reviews on Google, and has an average rating of 8.5 on Pitch Up, based on four reviews.<\/p>\n

One recent reviewer wrote: “We a great time, such a stunning, quite location on the levels beneath the tor.<\/p>\n

“Huge bed, spacious clean and tidy yurt. The outdoor kitchen and showers were perfect.<\/p>\n

“Awesome swimming spot to. Would stay again for sure!”<\/p>\n

And another one said: “I stayed here last week for a 2 night getaway on my own. I had the ‘Tilly’ yurt and although the photos looked amazing, nothing can prepare you for seeing it in real life.<\/p>\n

“The yurt is truly the best of both worlds and the bed was one of the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in.”<\/p>\n

She added: “As there is only 2 yurts it’s very peaceful but the sound of sheep bleating will keep you company. There is a compost toilet for each yurt, a shared kitchen and showers.<\/p>\n

“I was very lucky with the weather<\/a> so decided to have a dip in the lake to cool off. It’s also an idyllic place to watch the sunset with a view of Glastonbury tor.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"They overlook Glastonbury Tor(Image: Michelle Cowbourne \/ SWNS) Living in Bristol, we don’t need to go far to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":166900,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8818],"tags":[381,748,393,4884,15125,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-166899","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bristol","8":"tag-bristol","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-things-to-do-in-bristol","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114646285207915065","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166899","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=166899"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166899\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/166900"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=166899"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=166899"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=166899"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
