Lake District Pod Camping

Pod camping take all the trauma out of camping....no tent to put up and no worries about touching the side of the tent if you should get a sudden downpour.

Not only do they look great with lockable french windows and local wood, but they are eco-friendly too. Walls are insulated with sheep wool and the roof has been designed to keep the temperature down, should you find yourself in one of those blistering hot English summers.
