Highside Farm is a family-friendly site set on a family-run farm, looking out over the gleaming Bassenthwaite Lake, ideally located within the stunning Lake District National Park. The site serves as an excellent base for a glamping holiday and rests an easy ten-minute drive from the wildlife park. Local amenities like shops, restaurants, and museums are easily accessible via a ten-minute drive to the lively market town of Keswick. Outdoorsy types can wander into the market town for exciting pursuits like ravine scrambling, mountain biking, walking, paragliding and lovely boating trips around the gleaming lake Derwentwater. Enjoy peaceful walks by Bassenthwaite Lake, tackle a climb up Skiddaw mountain, or explore the region’s top walking and cycling paths in scenic settings like Dodd Wood, and Whinlatter Forest Park. Keep an eye out for local wildlife when you’re out walking. The munchkins will love the forest floor activities and adventures at Go Ape, so take the family along for a memorable day of sightseeing. Playgrounds and picnic areas are the orders of the day at Mirehouse and Gardens, and Wordsworth House and Garden, the childhood home of renowned poet William Wordsworth. Head back to base to unwind in your luxury glamping pod, kitted out with a host of creature comforts including underfloor heating, and ensuite shower and a well-equipped kitchen.
