- Peaceful glamping site on the shores of Lake Windermere
- A 10-minute drive from Hill Top; Ambleside 20 minutes
- Activities including watersports, shooting and off-road driving
Set in the expansive grounds of Cumbria's Graythwaite Estate, this scenic glamping site on the shores of Lake Windermere is deep in the Lake District National Park. This pop-up canvas village is made up of sturdy pre-pitched bell tents that take the hassle out of outdoor breaks, leaving you free to explore the local area or try out some of the activities available on site.
Located on the western site of Lake Windermere, the dog-friendly bell tents at Graythwaite Glamping are spaced out among peaceful green grounds that are fringed by woodland. They come with fitted carpets and waterproof groundsheets but are unfurnished, so you'll need to bring your bedding of choice plus camping essentials like cooking equipment, torches and spare batteries.
The units are a short walk from toilets, hot showers and the site's glamping hub, where you can chill out, play table football, charge your devices, listen to music or chat with site staff about booking an exciting open-air adventure somewhere on the estate. An on-site shop is on hand for essentials, while for hot snacks there's a pizza van that visits at least once a week.
Activities on the estate include shooting, watersports, off-road driving, boat rides and bushcraft classes. If and when you venture beyond the site limits, you'll be well-placed to visit Hill Top, Michelin-starred restaurants, lakeside trails and attractive towns and gorgeous villages like Hawkshead and Ambleside.

Local attractions
As the largest lake in the national park, Windermere is skirted by a good range of attractions, with something here to suit a variety of tastes. For a peaceful retreat, spend a few hours exploring the 30 acres of gardens at Brockhole (30 minutes' drive), or take the kids to Hill Top (10 minutes) to visit the former home of much-loved children's author and illustrator Beatrix Potter.
For boat trips, you're a 10-minute drive from the handy Windermere ferry that connects the eastern side of the water to the west, or you could head to the Steam Yacht Gondola at the northern tip of Coniston Water (25 minutes) for a stylish jaunts aboard a well-restored Victorian vessel that was first launched way back in in 1859.
A network of lovely lakeside footpaths is accessible directly from site, but for something more challenging try a hike up the Old Man of Coniston (25 minutes). There’s also the option of embarking on the difficult but very scenic Struggle Trail from Ambleside (20 minutes) before calling in for a well-deserved pint at the Kirkstone Inn.
