Grass Campervan Pitch 3 (23 at Pillars of Hercules)
UK Scotland East Scotland Fife Pillars of Hercules
Campervan pitch, north side, with space close-by for small tent on request (in wet weather the adjacent hardstanding is available)
The Owner Says
A dedicated area for campervans/ cars with roof top tents (please note no caravans or motorhomes can be accommodated and no vehicles over 6 metres long) to enjoy a peaceful setting with easy access to our organic farm shop and cafe, and camping facilities. During the drier weather campervan guests enjoy parking up on our dedicated grass area, with space for an optional area to pitch a small tent (by prior arrangement). In wetter weather, all campervans are accommodated on the hardstanding, which is located directly adjacent to the field, offering the same access to the wonderful setting and facilities here at Pillars of Hercules. A short walk into woodlands gives guests the opportunity to escape in to nature quickly and easily. For those coming with wider family or friends, the campervan field and hardstanding area each accommodate a maximum of 6 vans. Our tent camping field is a short walk to a neighbouring field (campervans cannot pitch on the tent camping field). For requests to be situated in pitch next to another booking, please contact us directly and we will try to accommodate this.

Nearby
Pillars of Hercules is a small organic business that has grown gradually over 40 years. Located on the historical site of Falkland Estate, where Mary Queen of Scots fell in love with falconry, there are over 27km of paths through woodlands and past acres of farmland. The views from the top of East Lomond to Edinburgh to the south, and Dundee in the north, are worth the short (but relatively steep!) climb. Neighbouring West Lomond is do-able on the same day as East Lomond for those more adventurous and energetic walkers.For a more gentle - but equally rewarding walk - heading through woods via the Squirrel Trail (and yes, it is home to many red squirrels so keep your eyes peeled), visitors can head in to Falkland Village. Falkland, Scotland's first conservation village, is an incredibly quaint and interesting village. Packed with history including Falkland Palace (which is well worth a visit - see NTS website for seasonal opening), craft shops, pubs, cafes, the village bakery, deli, and (for any Outlander fans) the fountain and window from the famous scene with Claire and Jamie!
Food & Drink
As well as our own onsite organic vegetarian cafe, Falkland offers some lovely places to eat - whether it is a pub meal at the Covenanter Hotel (which has a dog friendly bar and outside area), or a leisurely breakfast at Campbells coffee shop, or a (very delicious) steak pie made by Helen and team at Helen's Bakery, there is something from breakfast, lunch and dinner to suit most tastes.Extras
