Lookout Lodge

Lookout Lodge

For my annual Somerset holiday, I stayed again in 2022 at Lookout Lodge in East Harptree, Northeast Somerset, on the north facing slope of the Mendips, looking out towards Chew Valley Lake. The holiday accommodation is on the same site as the Viewing Platform. This was the last remaining WW2 cabin existing in the UK and was situated on top of an aircraft trailer. Sadly, it burned to the ground two years ago. But I love its replacement Lookout Lodge, which is in beautiful countryside with woods to the rear and with lovely views across Northeast Somerset. The Lodge is situated on Nettwood Farm campsite, which is family friendly and extremely popular at the weekends. As can be seen in one of my photos, there are Alpacas in the field next to the lodge and sheep higher up. There were no cows in the field to the rear this year but there are most years.
