  • 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.

What customers say

This peaceful rural site boasts awesome scenery & space. Alan, the owner, is a legend! Facilities are basic but clean, with great hot showers. Can get windy & muddy, but pods & hot tubs are a hit. Perfect for a chill, back-to-basics break with ace views.

However I did have a nice stay.

Liked Great beautiful remote peaceful location.
Well maintained grass.
Toilets and shower fit for purpose and well stocked, clean and maintained!
Alan was friendly and easy to check in
15 min drive from nearest town.

Disliked We were not sure exactly what entrance to use, perhaps a better sign as to how to get to each of the two main camping fields would be better.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked We loved the views and the fact that it was in the middle of nowhere! Very clean campsite with lots of space. The weather was very bad while we were there and we did have a few storms, the owner very kindly gave us some wood to warm us up and dried some of our bedding! We were very grateful as we would have had to go home if not. There was a beautiful hour and a half walk to the pub.

Disliked Nothing was a beautiful weekend.
