Bellorama

Aim

Crowdfunding to raise funds to launch Bellorama, a bell tent site nestled in the Wiltshire hills.

[Panorama: The view of a wide area]

Bellorama, a scenic bell tent site situated in a rural setting in the Wiltshire hills spectacular views.

Offering guests an opportunity to be immersed in nature from the comfort of a stylish canvas bell tent (that really does feel more like a spacious hotel room than a tent) located in an area of outstanding natural beauty.

WHERE?

Located just one mile off the A303 (20 mins from World Heritage site Stonehenge) and two hours from London, Bellorama makes for a very convenient one night stop off for anyone wishing to break up the tedious journey to the South from London and the North.

-

The Fox & Hounds pub (included in The Telegraph's '17 of Britain's best beer gardens with views') is close to the proposed site, just outside the village of East Knoyle. This provides guests with somewhere to eat and drink during their stay. 

Other great haunts and attractions in close proximity include: 

Pythouse Kitchen Garden (10mins)
The Beckford Arms (10mins)
Fonthill Estate & Lake (11mins)
The Grosvenor Arms (7mins)
Compton McRae Deli (7mins)
Dairy House Antiques (8mins)
Messums Wiltshire (15mins)
Stourhead (12mins)
Compton Marbling (12mins)
Stonehenge (20mins)
Longleat safari park (20mins)
Hauser & Wirth (30mins)

Plus the immediate area is riddled with walks and wildlife.
