c3276cf3-68ba-4292-bc1b-886bf9027acb

It might be April but that won’t stop the rain in the UK, so a pair of comfortable welly boots is still pretty much an essential part of your camping wardrobe at this time of year

Ideal for walking the dog, traipsing to and from the campsite’s shower block or, thanks to some rather trendy and comfortable options, exploring the local sights on a wet and dreary day, here are a selection of wellington boots to keep your feet warm and dry this spring...

Kids just can’t resist a muddy puddle, and why should they?! We’re rather partial, too, but don’t tell anyone!

Wellies, but make it fashion. The classic welly boot from Barbour has had a modern Chelsea-style twist, featuring the brand’s signature branding and an elasticated side gusset. Easy to chuck on and take off when walking the dog or traipsing around the campsite, it’d be a shame to get these ones muddy, though they are completely weatherproof.
