HI Glampers !
Today we have an article written especially for us by freelance writer Jane Richardson.
How To Make The Most Of Your Yorkshire Glamping Trip
Are you
looking for the perfect getaway, but dreading having to make all the
arrangements and travel plans? Love connecting with nature and the idea of
camping in the woods but not the prospect of putting up your own tent and
roughing it? Well then, glamping in
Yorkshire’s beautiful countryside is the answer for you. The serene
countryside, genteel seaside resorts, a spa town, countless historic manors and
many such endless splendors, are all part of what makes up the beautiful
Yorkshire. The World Travel Awards named Yorkshire the leading destination of
Europe in 2013. And glamping, popular among luxury travelers and campers
alike, has found its treasured base in Yorkshire.
Where to
glamp in Yorkshire?
Glamping
in Yorkshire allows you to disconnect
from the chaos of daily life and realise all your dreams of camping
without giving up on creature comforts. After all, soaking in a hot tub
inside a romantic teepee and in the surroundings of resplendent greenery
all around sure makes for the most relaxing and glammed-up camping holiday.
The beautiful
Camp Hill estate located between the bustling market towns of Bedale
and Ripon in North Yorkshire is the ideal base for a Glamping holiday. Based
here, you can explore the picturesque villages of Kirklington and Carthorpe,
the spa town of Harrogate and make side trips to the great cities of Newcastle
and Leeds.
What’s
your style of Glamping?
Glamping
accommodation choices are plenty. They come in an unending array of styles and
sizes. For a big group of up to 5, the Bell Tents, inspired by the Native
American Tipis, are one of the ideal tents with a double bed, a sofa bed,
and a single sofa bed. Hobbit pods are luxury and cosy alternatives to
traditional tents fit for four with a bunk bed, futon ZIP chair, a seating area
and the basics included. There are cozier ones fit for a honeymooning couple
dressed in scented candles and fairy lights. Or, hideaway in the unidomes
inspired by the aesthetic living of the pioneers and the dwellings of nomadic
tribes. If not, let your African dreams take wings as you cocoon with your
partner and kids inside the fun-filled Safari Tents fit for 6 to 8, with its
own shower and toilet and a decked terrace to enjoy the views and feel the
breeze.
Boost your
Glamping holidays
A communal
campfire, wooded trails, back-to-nature shower sheds, a children’s area, an
eco-spa, and a Nordic BBQ cabin - these are the highlights of Glamping at Camp Katur. The natural sights, fresh air and sunlight make glamping a wholesome
experience here and there are plenty more ways to boost it. Friends and
families at Camp Katur have a ball quad biking, clay pigeon shooting,
touring on Segway, cycling, wine tasting and doing fun workshops on baking, cocktail
making and more.
Finally,
glamping somewhere on these 250 acres of English Country Estate with an
18th-century building at its focal point makes for an unforgettable holiday
experience – where the surroundings only spell of woods, rolling meadows, and
green spaces as far as you can look.
