Trundle along quiet country lanes in a traditional horse drawn gypsy caravan before camping up at one of our secluded camps where you can cook over an open fire paddle in the streams and immerse yourselves in nature and the great outdoors, before nestling up for the night in the cosy gypsy wagon. When inside a gypsy caravan you will have everything you need to relax and have a gorgeous night's sleep.

You will be on nature's doorstep with your feet up by the woodburner, but the experience of the gypsy caravan starts before the threshold. These caravans are like no other and are built with beauty in mind as much from the outside as within. The gypsy caravans will carry off any photo just by being in the background! 

The caravans are fully insulated and there is plenty of storage. Each wagon has its own BBQ/fire pit and rustic seating.

Perched in the middle of this green and pleasant valley and surrounded by towering mountains is the church of St Mary in Longsleddale. If it looks familiar, it’s because Longsleddale was the inspiration for Greendale, the fictional home of Postman Pat and his black and white cat. Although there is no postmistress Mrs Goggins, or local handyman Ted Glen on hand to avert any mail-related disasters for visitors this summer, the well-appointed Community Hall next door means that you can cook your own locally-produced fayre as early as you like in order to get out and enjoy the Cumbrian countryside.
