Camping: Sleep Under the Stars

Nothing beats the experience of camping in the heart of nature, where you can wake up to birdsong, fresh air, and breathtaking scenery. Campsites range from basic woodland pitches to well-equipped sites with showers, on-site cafés, and family-friendly facilities. Whether you're pitching up in a hidden valley, by the river, or on a hilltop with stunning views, there’s no shortage of peaceful spots to set up camp. Many campsites are dog-friendly, and some even have dedicated play areas and activities for children.

Glamping & Lodges: A Luxurious Outdoor Escape

For those who love the idea of being close to nature without sacrificing comfort, glamping offers the best of both worlds. Choose from log cabins, shepherd’s huts, yurts, safari tents, treehouses, and cosy pods, many complete with plush beds, hot tubs, and modern amenities. Whether you're after a romantic getaway, a family adventure, or a unique stay in an A-frame treehouse, you’ll find plenty of glamping options nestled within this spectacular setting.

If you prefer something a little more permanent, forest lodges, holiday park homes, and converted barns offer a comfortable base for exploring the region, with many featuring private terraces, fire pits, and scenic views.
