The first thing you notice at K16 is the quiet — proper quiet, the kind where you hear birds you'd normally miss and the rustle of leaves becomes the day's soundtrack.

This is a spot for anyone after a simple escape without the fuss of tent pegs and guy ropes. The camping pods and chalets suit couples looking for a low-key break, small families who want a roof and a bit more comfort, or friends sharing a weekend away. It's glamping in the honest sense — somewhere to sleep well, wake slower, and spend your days exploring rather than wrestling with canvas.

Facilities aren't shouted about here, so it's worth asking what's onsite when you book. Dogs may be welcome depending on the pitch, so check ahead if you're bringing one. Campfires are sometimes allowed — ask on arrival if you fancy an evening by the flames. The vibe is unplugged and easygoing, the sort of place where you remember why you wanted to get away in the first place.

Ullswater Way - Dalemain Loop

Loops through Dacre village and parkland around historic Dalemain Estate, mostly flat with gentle undulations on grassy fields and woodland paths. Excellent for families with steady walkers aged 5+, though muddy sections after rain make buggies impractical. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock and within estate grounds. Offers charming stone cottages, ancient church ruins, and views toward Ullswater without the lakeside crowds—ideal for a peaceful countryside amble.

Aira Force and Gowbarrow Park Trail, Ullswater Valley

Follows Aira Force Beck through ancient woodland to one of the Lake District's most dramatic waterfalls, then climbs moderately to Gowbarrow Fell for sweeping Ullswater views. Terrain includes well-maintained paths, stone steps (can be slippery when wet), and steeper gradients on the fell section—manageable for older children but not suitable for buggies or very young ones. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. The combination of thundering falls, Victorian stone bridges, and lakeland panoramas

Eamont Way

Follows the River Eamont through rolling Cumbrian countryside with gentle to moderate inclines and some riverside sections that can be muddy after rain. Suitable for older children but uneven terrain and stiles make it tricky for buggies. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Links historic sites including Brougham Castle and Mayburgh Henge, offering lovely river views and a proper taste of the Eden Valley's pastoral landscape.
