Honestly, a church? Yes, this is no mistake. Champing offers churches all over Britain as accommodation. Set up your camping gear inside the holy walls and enjoy a really quiet night.
One of those is St Mary’s in Edlesborough, Buckinghamshire. Set on a chalk hillock with fine views from its churchyard, the church is impressive inside as well as outside. Enjoy medieval woodwork, marvellous Victorian wall paintings and stained glass. Have a look at amazing carved wooden creatures such as a stern-faced mermaid suckling a lion or a two-headed beast with ferocious claws.
