Manchester isn’t just the gateway to the north, it’s the gateway to the wild. Swap the roar of football fans for melodic birdsong, and the buzz of Salford Quays for rolling green hills and babbling streams.
Within two hours of the metropolis, you’ll find remote shepherds’ huts, tranquil treehouses and cosy cabins – all without a soul in sight apart from the occasional sheep. What you do while you’re immersed in nature is entirely up to you. Laze for hours in meltingly warm hot tubs, go for bracing hikes up craggy fells or stroll to the nearest thatched pub for a hearty roast.
A glamping holiday will occupy a special place in your heart long after you’ve waved a reluctant goodbye to the vast horizon. It’s that magic combination of fresh air, outdoor adventures and the hypnotic flicker of a campfire. Our glamping collection has been growing steadily since 2010 and we only welcome unique places that we know you’ll love. The ones infused with magic and creativity by owners who care deeply about the natural surroundings. Whether you’re a couple of adrenaline junkies, a young family or a burnt-out professional in need of a rest, you’ll find the perfect glamping place within two hours of Manchester.
From the Yorkshire Dales and Cumbria, to the Northumberland coast and the Peak District, its home to dramatic scenery, dry stone walls, inky dark skies and incredible wildlife. We’ve got some hidden glamping gems in our northern collection with serious WOW factor. Once you’ve had a look, you’ll be heading up the M1 faster than you can say ‘by ‘eck, that’s the Northern Lights’.
If there’s a better way to lose yourself in massive countryside than going glamping in Yorkshire, we’d love to hear about it. We’ve personally inspected every treehouse, barn and bus in our collection of unusual places to stay, making sure that they’ll drop you down in the hills and dales to sit in the lap of luxury while nature strokes your hair.
Almost the dead centre of the country, The Peak District is home to some truly spectacular scenery. There’s a huge amount to go and explore in this area, and endless hikes and walks that straddle the epic landscape, so take a look at our favourite spaces in the region.
