As well as having some of the best countryside, coastline and cities you will ever see, England also has a massive number of glamping destinations. No matter what type of place you want to stay in, you are sure to find something that suits you.
Yurts, bell tents, shepherd’s huts, tipis and camping pods are among the fantastic types of accommodation you could stay in while glamping in England. These range from good value options for families to top of the range luxury breaks for very special occasions. So where in England could you imagine enjoying a special trip like this?
The South East
The great diversity in the South East of England makes it ideal for many different types of tourists. Perhaps you will choose to use your yurt or your camping pod as a base to head off to big towns and cities like London and Brighton on day trips, or maybe you will enjoy the quiet life in the rolling countryside. There are some terrific glamping sites here, with the great transport infrastructure meaning that getting to them shouldn’t be a problem. The main attractions in the region include Windsor Castle, Leeds Castle, Canterbury Cathedral and some top sporting events. Whatever you want to see or do, there are plenty of reasons for spending some time glamping in the South East. One of the highlights here is the plush site at Wattle Hill Oast, near Staplecross Village, while you will now find yurts, pods and other types of accommodation spread across the area. Lee Wick Farm near St Osyth in Essex is another great example of somewhere you can relax in a comfortable pod with some home comforts in a lovely setting.
South West
The South West of England is famous for long beaches, good weather and welcoming towns and villages. There is no doubt that you could enjoy a relaxing and memorable glamping trip here. Devon and Cornwall have a huge number of different types of glamping accommodation in various parts of the region. For instance, you will find camping pods near St Ives, safari tents near to Newquay, safari tents close to Ottery St Mary and even a quality shepherd’s hut near Torbay. No matter where you stay and type of accommodation you choose, the wonders of this part of England will keep you occupied. From the lovely coastline to the Eden Project, the wildlife and Dartmoor, it is a fantastic place to go glamping. A less predictable way of glamping in this corner of the country comes with the amazing tree holidays available in the Blackdown Hills of Devon area.
Yorkshire
A glamping trip to Yorkshire can mean a lot more than you might think. We all know that the scenery here is spectacular but have you considered how much you could enjoy the food, the shopping, the city life and the adventures you could have while glamping? You will find an extensive range of types of glamping accommodation here, from safari tents to wigwams, bell tents and a lot more. The size of the region means that you can also tailor a glamping break in Yorkshire to your tastes. If you like the idea of a luxury stay in a Native American Indian style tent then the Camp Katur site on Camp Hill Estate could be the place for you. Otherwise, there are plenty of other options to look through, out in the lovely countryside or close to some fine cities. Yurthshire Camp Hill is another place worth looking into, as it features wonderful yurts in one of the finest glamping destinations you are ever likely to see.
Lake District
Of course, the Lake District is already very well known as being one of the country’s finest tourist destinations. These days you can enjoy the glorious sites here and stay in a magnificent glamping destination as well. For example, you could stay in a traditional Mongolian yurt close to the imposing Scafell Pike, go for a modern pod near Windermere or choose from any one of the other great sites and things to do here. The highlights here include lovely Rydal, where you will find lots to do close to some of the best campsites in the area. If you want to feel the full benefits of a break from the old routine then the camping pods and camping barn at the Eskdale campsite also makes for a great choice. For a seaside pod experience here the Ravenglass Pods are hard to beat. These are close to the coast and make for simple but enjoyable places to use as your base while exploring the area.
