Swineside stone circle walk
Take a steady stroll from the campsite, following the single track path until you reach the old farmhouse ruins. Take a sharp left and follow the gate line around the side of the fell until, in the distance ahead, you see Swineside Stone Circle. This sacred place is 6000 years older than Stonehenge and has a touch of magic about it!
From camp
Black Combe walk
Take a short drive from the campsite to a nearby track and walk up the tallest hill in England. The name-sake for one of our lodges and a beautiful rise on our campsites backdrop the walk up Black Combe is simple, steady and guarentees astonishing views of the valley.
