⛺ There’s no better way to escape from the hustle and bustle of your working week than packing the car full of gear and heading out into the countryside for a weekend camping.

At Cotswold Outdoor we work with trusted manufacturers that continue to research and develop the latest technologies, so we can bring you the best, most comprehensive range of quality tents. Small features can make all the difference to the success of your camping trip, such as, opting for a quick pitch tent for a short stay or even detachable bedroom dividers.

Crew Clothing Company is a brand rooted in the timeless charm of the British coast. Founded by professional skier Alastair Parker-Swift in Salcombe, Crew Clothing began with a single iconic rugby shirt detailed with the signature '93 patch. Alastair's vision, inspired by Salcombe's cobbled streets and crystal-clear waters, quickly grew from a windsurfing school venture to over 100 stores nationwide, from St. Andrews to St. Ives. Despite its expansion, Crew Clothing remains true to its coastal heritage, consistently delivering classic styles that reflect the beauty and spirit of the British seaside.
