A few days glamping in the Lake District is one of the best things you can possibly do. Waking up in England’s largest national park means being the first person on the peaks, having wild swimming spots to yourself or, if you prefer, dozing in bed in front of unspoilt views of the lesser-known parts of this incredible wilderness. We personally inspect every mountaintop cabin, riverside lodge, bothy and bell tent we work with, making sure they’ll bring you all the freedom and natural highs that make Lake District holidays so awesome.
Because it’s the most relaxing way to travel. Stick a change of clothes in a bag and off you go, with everything you need waiting for you on arrival. Raid farm shops for great local food or stroll to the pub through the woods, then wander back to the most amazing base, surrounded by nature but without all that fiddling with tentpoles.
Discover our unique and quirky places to stay in the Lake District, plus our tips on all the best things to do on your glamping nature break.
Pet Kelly of Wild Things, publishers of Wild Swimming Walks Lake District, and the Wild Guide, shares some of their favourite waterside walks in England's legendary national park and the wild swimming spots they love cooling off in on the way.
In peak season, The Lake District's narrow roads fill with bumper-to-bumper traffic, causing pollution, restricting the lives of locals and, let's face it, making it a much less fun place to visit than it should be. Campaign for National Parks has put together this handy guide for getting to and around The Lake District without your car.
