lundy Shore Office,The Quay, Bideford, DevonThe bold outcrop of granite that is Lundy Island juts over 120 metres into the air out of the Bristol Channel. It's just 11 miles from the North Devon coast, but feels more remote; the landscape is barren and desolate, with wild, towering cliffs, wind-battered fields, and little in the way of shelter. And like all the best natural campsites, Lundy's is essentially a field with nothing in it. Its peaceful, remote location feels a million miles from modern life, and relies solely on the simple pleasures - clear surrounding waters and dazzling night skies that remain unspoilt by the usual unforgiving streetlights. That said, in case you do start missing certain creature comforts here, such as shelter and the warming fuzz from a gulp of beer, there's a pub on the island that never shuts, so at any time of day or night there's always somewhere to cosy up and swap stories of tents blowing away in Atlantic winds.

Let's be honest, this isn't camping for beginners, but despite its bleak, isolated location, a few nights in a tent here can be invigorating. And when the wind drops and the sun appears, this may well be England's most magical camping experience.
