  • Off-grid camping pods in a rural spot with gorgeous Solway Firth views
  • Five minutes’ drive to North Lakeland fells; 30 minutes to Keswick
  • Well-equipped pods with stoves; shared spa hot tub and LPG showers
On the northern fringes of the Lake District National Park, Cherry Trees Farm Campsite offers a couple of wooden camping pods with spectacular views over the Solway coast and the North Lakeland fells. This is a fab base for anyone wanting to explore the peaceful and beautiful county of Cumbria on foot or by bike. Surprisingly, considering its remote vibe, Cherry Trees is only 15 minutes’ drive from the M6, and the historic villages of Caldbeck and Hesket Newmarket (both 10 minutes) are packed with pubs and village stores to keep you fed and watered. Although the location is very rural, there’s masses and masses to do hereabouts, from walking the fells to wild swimming on the Solway Firth (35 minutes), horse riding and golf. If you want to up the pace, there are ziplines at Honister Slate Mine (50 minutes), and if the weather turns, sporty types can stay active at swimming pools and leisure centres (both 20 minutes). Back at base, the natty wooden pods are sited on the edge of a traditional hay meadow, and each is fully equipped to sleep two people – all bedding, towels, crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils are provided so you don't have to bother bringing everything from home. Facilities include your own LPG-fired shower and compostable loo, a small kitchen area with a gas stove and a sink with hot and cold running water. On top of that, a major-league bonus is the use of a private hot tub included in the price of each pod – there's no better way to relax after a day out on the fells.
