Scales Plantation - Penrith, Cumbria
High in the wilds of the North Lakes, in the woods around Scales Farm, Tabatha and Rob Wilson have created a series of fabulous luxury camping boltholes. Three shepherd's hut camps each with a cosy hut and a timber kitchen set in private semicircular clearings on the edge of the forest plus a family canvas cabin and a double bell tent site. The sites are sheltered and peaceful, with views out towards Bowscale Fell and Mount Skiddaw and the Lake District.
As part of the regeneration of the woodland, the once thick canopy has been thinned to allow wildlife such as the resident red squirrels to flourish. In time the camps will come to feel like a natural extension of the Lake District and in some ways, with beautiful walks across the fells on your doorstep, they already are. You can get trail advice or hire bikes just down the road and head into the hills, then come back to the rustic comfort of the hut for a toasting by the wood-burner.
Pets and kids are both most welcome at Scales Plantation but please keep dogs under control as it is a working farm
