days out

Although some guests never leave the farm, you'll find much of interest in the vicinity of The Dandelion Hideaway. We have many local attractions right on the doorstep of the farm, and the glamping site is nestled in the heart of the Leicestershire countryside making days out exploring the county really easy and accessible.

From the site of Richard III's demise at the Battle of Bosworth to the National Space Museum, and activities such as cycling at Conkers in the National Forest or visiting the Botanic Garden at the University of Leicester, there is something for everyone.  

You can travel by steam railway, narrowboat, or cycle and you can discover great apes at Twycross on one of the many great days out in the area. We also have a good selection of local restaurants and pubs - one within walking distance.

We have put together the map below to help you plan your visit to the area, or you can browse our recommendations by category on the right.
