In a clearing within Greystoke Forest in England’s Lake District lies Blencathra at Scales Plantation, a tranquil, secluded spot where you can rediscover your wild. Come with us on a tour.
A former shepherd's hut has been modified with 'glamping' luxuries.
Blencathra camp is surrounded by trees and has a large decking area with a garden table, a fire pit for outdoor cooking, huge pots of herbs to cut, and even a little pond for some wildlife watching.
At 1,000 feet above sea level there are stunning views of the North Lake Fells.
The kitchen and bathroom are housed in a rustic cabin.
In the shepherd’s hut, the kitchen has a gas hob, pots, pans, crockery, and a refrigerator.
Decorated in an easy-going rustic style with a huge table and built-in benches, there is plenty of space for a family to get comfortable.
Using the wood-burning range oven takes a little time to get used to, but allowing it to warm up for a while before attempting to cook anything is the key to success.
