The Lorax Patch is a small Permaculture smallholding just a mile south of Wells in Somerset, offering basic camping for tents and campervans alongside a high-spec shepherd's hut for year-round glamping. The operators grow seasonal vegetables and fruit and keep chickens, sheep, pigs, pygmy goats and turkeys, giving the site a genuine working-farm feel. Camping here is kept deliberately simple — quiet countryside, campfires and starry skies, with no bells and whistles. Please note dogs cannot be accommodated due to livestock in neighbouring fields. Beyond the farm, Wells itself is close by, with Wells Museum, the Paper Making Museum and the Cave Diving Museum all within a couple of miles for visitors wanting a change of scene.
