The hut is beautifully designed being both spacious and and cosy, with everything you need to relax and enjoy your stay. The little extras on arrival really made it special. We enjoyed some nice walks along the canal, evenings toasting marshmallows by the fire and just really appreciated the peaceful location. We highly recommend Little Ranch and hope to be back again soon!

Weekend Trip to Bickley Rigg Farm Glamping Wagons

We loved our night at Bickley Rigg wagons. We stayed in Oxo wagon, which has a beautiful bunk bed with cupboard bed beneath, and it’s full of vintage curios, china and oil lanterns. We enjoyed the views across the valley, a campfire, delicious local produce in our welcome pack (especially the bacon), learning how to use the storm lamps and watching rabbits on the hill from our beds in the morning. Feel refreshed and inspired. Be aware toilets and facilities are very much off grid composting ones. Bruce was welcoming and helpful despite his kids being ill- and hard to believe he’s built all the wagons himself- this is obviously a labour of love.

A warm and relaxed welcome from the moment we arrived. The kids were safe roaming in the play area and engaging with the animals. Our dogs were treated like family. We were super comfortable and I was able to switch off from the busy real world and read a book and enjoy the surroundings. The facilities are fantastic and the beds are big and comfortable! Can't wait to visit again.

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.

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.

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.
