With a private valley, formed in the last ice age, acres of land and woodland to explore, our farm has a very special feeling which has been mentioned by every visitor. Occupied by some beautiful wildlife, including buzzards and owls, deer, badgers and foxes. The Wagons have a grass roof, firepits, sleep 4 (in double bunk format), they are hand-made from reclaimed materials salvaged from the local town and other areas, double skinned and insulated with sheeps wool. They have a 2-ring gas-burner in the cute kitchen area, dining table and seating, and are the perfect home away from home. All the decor is vintage, including cuttlery, crockery and even the childrens teddy's. Being on the doorstep of Dalby Forest, there are hours of entertainment to be had. You can follow the stream at the bottom of the valley to the River Derwent or venture into the surounding woods. We can provide a guest pass (free access) for Dalby Forest. The Wagons are not powered by electricity and are romantically lit by candles and oil lamps. Heated by cast iron gas heaters.

Where to go

Yorkshire Dales National Park

Home to a number of villages, Yorkshire Dales is a popular destination for hikes and history explorations. Tackle the 23-mile loop through Three Peaks, where a challenging hike rewards campers with summit views over the park. Stop in at Dales Countryside Museum for a look into local history, or stay overnight and admire the skies in the Dark Sky Reserve. Campers can enjoy convenient park access with several hikes that connect to transit stops, then relax on “quiet site” tent pitches for a peaceful night in nature.

Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Just east of Kettlewell and adjacent to Yorkshire Dales, Nidderdale offers an easily accessible journey into Yorkshire’s moors. Discover 560 miles of public walking paths through valleys and meadows, or explore Nidderdale’s highs and lows with a climb up Brimham Rocks and an ascent down into Manchester Hole. Stay in the trees with a unique camping experience in a treehouse, or embrace simplicity with tent and caravan sites in the park.

Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

Beloved for its remote hillsides and tranquil moorland walks, Bowland AONB is a popular destination for peaceful camping excursions in Lancashire. Linger in a cottage or glamping pod, or pitch a tent under the stars and admire one of the AONB’s Dark Sky Discovery Sites. Walking routes like Riverside Walk and Bell Skyes Hay Meadow Walk meander through a number of villages in the forest as well as scenic natural spaces. Or try trout and salmon fishing to enjoy the bounty of Bowland.

When to go

Kettlewell is warmest in July, when average temperatures of 20℃ make for comfortable camping and walks through the forest. May is popular for dryer weather, sunny days, and slightly fewer crowds. Though winter is colder and often has some snowfall, heated cabin rentals and glamping sites are open year-round to stay warm.
