We had the most wonderful stay at this gorgeous shepherds hut. Everything about our visit was just perfect. The setting was so peaceful and private and dreamy, such a beautiful little escape to relax and switch off. The hut itself was cosy, spotless, and had everything we could possibly need, you can really tell how much care and thought has gone into it. The hosts were incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive, which made the whole experience feel even more special. Honestly, there is nothing we would change. We left feeling so happy and refreshed and would absolutely love to come back again. Could not recommend it more 💖

Weekend Trip to The Peacock Shepherds Hut
Absolutely delightful place!! We arrived in the pitch black but found it very easily. The hut was beautifully furnished, when we woke this complemented the absolutely breathtaking views on what was a very cold winter morning but the hut was very warm and cosy. I will 100% recommend this stay and will most likely be returning for a longer stay to take in some more of the Welsh countryside.

Weekend Trip to The Peacock Shepherds Hut
The hut was lovely and had everything that we need for weekend getaway. The land was so peaceful and there were alpacas nearby. We arrived late a night and took the wrong turn at first but once we got on the right path it was easy to find. Would recommend if you're looking for quiet time off.

4 nights at The Peacock Shepherds Hut
The Peacock Shepherds Hut was amazing. The views are incredible and the hut was really comfortable and well thought out from the lovely Peacock details to underfloor heating. The facilities provided everything I needed to enjoy a peaceful break. Fantastic place to relax and reset listening to birds and enjoying the roaming peacocks and wandering down to see the Alpacas. Carol makes you feel so welcome. I will definitely be recommending this place to friends.

Another wonderful trip to this site. This was our second trip here in a few weeks. It is very handy for Colwyn Bay and Llandudno. The site itself is peaceful, the facilities are well maintained and the hosts are very friendly.
We had another couple of fun nights with a campfire roaring and loads of safe space for the kids to run around and play.

Beautiful piece of land on the edge of lake Windermere. Felt like you were truly in nature. Morning lake swims and ideal of you have your own kayak as it’s on the waters edge. Nice clean toilets and hot showers. Brilliant that you can pitch where you like so good for a small group. Hosts friendly and approachable and easy to contact if needed. Can’t wait to book my next stay

Campsites with fishing near Formby guide
Where to go
National Trust Formby
Outside of Formby proper, National Trust Formby protects scenic beaches, sand dunes, and pine woodlands that stretch over 400 hectares. A diverse ecosystem, the lands under the National Trust include natterjack toads, red squirrels, and great crested newts—fascinating sights for campers and nature enthusiasts alike. This area is also home to some amazing historical scenes, including two shipwrecks (about one kilometre from the coast) and 10,000-year-old prehistoric footprints formed within sediment beds. Coastal walks, horseback riding, and canoeing are popular year-round activities for day trippers. The park has accessible toilets, a car park, and areas for dogs, but it doesn’t have its own camping facilities.
Peak District National Park
About an hour east from Formby is Peak District National Park in central England. One of the UK’s most visited national parks, it covers about 555 square miles including Hope Valley, Heage Windmill, and Hardwick Hall. Hipcampers can enjoy cycling, horseback riding, caving, fishing, rock climbing, and fell running in the park. Accommodations at North Lees Campsite (owned and managed by the National Park Authority) include 60 sites for tents, as well as accessible toilets and showers. Outfitted with electricity, heating, and lighting, the campsite also offers camping pods that accommodate up to five campers. Campervans are also allowed.
Forest of Bowland AONB
North of Formby is Forest of Bowland, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Forest of Bowland covers about 312 square miles of land that showcases the area’s open countryside, blanket bog, and heather moorland. Find extensive walking routes, rich wildlife viewing, and stargazing, among dozens of other family-friendly activities. Accommodations within the park fit every budget and adventure—traditional rustic campsites, glamping pods, cabins, and farm stays are all available on-site.
When to go
Formby’s coastal orientation brings temperate weather—typically between 2°C to 20°C. Warmer months are most popular for camping, with a peak in visitors from late June to early September. Summer months are also a good time for swimmers and boaters to cool off in coastal waters. November to March is cooler, with an average daily high of about 9°C. Despite chillier temperatures, Formby offers plenty of scenic walks and activities during winter, as well.
