  • Contemporary glamping pods 20 minutes’ drive from Carlisle
  • Penrith 20 minutes’ drive; Lake District National Park half an hour
  • Parking space by your pod; small shop; well-equipped kitchen
Whether you’re holidaying with your family, your significant other or a group of friends (or maybe it’s just you and your four-legged companion), Pasturewood Holidays has a glamping solution for you. This small, rural and blissfully remote site in the splendid Cumbrian countryside sits about 20 minutes’ drive from either Carlisle or Penrith. Owners Richard and Rachel (and their dogs) will give you a warm welcome when you check in, and they’ll direct you to your contemporary luxury pod, which comes with its own parking space (you won’t have to lug your gear in a wheelbarrow here). They are also on hand to answer any questions you might have on the local area or the site facilities. Need a few extras – such as firepits and charcoal barbecues? Richard and Rachel can supply those, as well as a range of essentials (washing-up liquid, kitchen roll and toilet rolls) and toiletries. For anything else, the nearest shop is in the village of Dalston (10 minutes' drive), which also has a country pub and a fish and chip shop. And just how luxurious are those pods? Well, they have a comfortable (and made-up) double bed, ensuite bathroom, a well-equipped kitchen with ceramic hobs, fridge, kettle and toaster (plus all the utensils and crockery you need to whip up a meal), and a TV. Mind you, chances are you’ll forget all about the telly and instead spend your evenings watching the sunset and the stars in the night sky…

Local attractions

Carlisle Castle is known for holding Mary, Queen of Scots prisoner within its walls. Stroll on the green where she used to take her morning walks in captivity, or check out the fascinating displays at Cumbria’s Museum of Military Life. Bitts Park, on the banks of the River Eden, is a top spot for a picnic among colourful floral displays. Lake District National Park (half an hour’s drive) has gorgeous landscapes that you can explore while hiking, climbing fells or paddleboarding. To the west of Ullswater is Aira Force Waterfall, which tumbles down moss-covered stones, while the hills around Derwentwater yield spectacular views of the lake and its islands from observation points like Friars Crag. The Solway Coast National Landscape is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (40 minutes) stretching along the Solway Firth. Its sand dunes and salt marshes are home to breeding and migrating birdlife, including geese and birds of prey, while at low tide, you might spot the remains of an ancient submerged forest.
