A SOMERSET campsite, Buckland Farm Camping, has been given the National Top Dog Award.

The recognition came in the 2023 campsites.co.uk Camping and Glamping awards.

Buckland Farm, located near Wellington, has been the backdrop for occasional dog agility events over several years.

A boom in positive feedback led to Buckland Farm Camping being established in 2022, and it has since gained high praise from visitors.

The Top Dog Award acknowledges campsites that work tirelessly to ensure both dogs and their owners experience an enjoyable and comfortable stay.
