Mount Folly Farm

A working farm on the South West Coast Path with Bigbury Beach ten minutes on foot and Geo Dome glamping for those who want the view without the groundsheet.

Mount Folly Farm sits on the South West Coast Path in the South Hams, with Bigbury Beach a ten-minute walk away and the farm's own fields rolling down towards the coast. The views are the reason to come: reviewers consistently describe them as breath-taking, and on a clear evening the sea light over the South Devon coast earns that description without argument.

There are two ways to sleep here. Field camping for tents, with a straightforward rural feel and room to spread out between peak weeks. And Geo Dome glamping for those after more: the domes sit in the landscape with the same views, comfortably removed from the tent field. A coffee truck and pizza van operate on site most days, which makes the place feel animated without tipping into holiday-park territory.

The Pilchard Inn on Burgh Island and The Pickwick Inn at St Anne's Chapel are both roughly a mile's walk, and the South West Coast Path runs directly from the farm, making this a practical base as well as a scenic one. Adults only (no dogs accepted) is the other side of the ledger: couples and solo travellers will find more of what they came for, particularly in the quieter shoulder weeks.

Outside peak season, when the site thins out, it's one of the more honest coastal farm pitches in South Devon: unfussy, well-located, and genuinely close to one of the county's best stretches of coast.

Before you book

Facilities can be stretched at peak capacity during school holidays: arrive early or book a Geo Dome for a dedicated bathroom.

“A coastal South Devon farm with direct South West Coast Path access, Bigbury Beach a ten-minute walk, and Geo Dome glamping for couples wanting the views in comfort. Go in the shoulder season to get the best of it.”
