Glamping Essex

There are six luxurious tented encampments in the grounds of Layer Marney Tower each named after one of the wives of Henry VIII. Your stay will be under the sort of capacious canvas that graced the African plains during the reign of Queen Victoria. Each encampment has a main tent sleeping up to 6 people in comfortable beds, there is a plumbed in loo, cold running water to the kitchen sink, and electricity comes from a battery charged by you through a static bicycle. There is a discovery tent, containing a telescope, field telephones, art equipment, and a library of reference books, a microscope and two camp beds for extra visitors. Each tent has a shower (hot water for which is transported by a barrel on wheels) and there is a hugely popular hot tub and wood burning stoves for cooking.
