The eastern fells rise beyond dry-stone walls, and on still mornings you can hear curlews calling across the vale from your pod doorway.
Thrimby Farm sits in that quieter pocket of the Lakes where walkers slip off toward Shap Fells and Wet Sleddale, away from the Windermere crowds. The setup offers both pods and guest house rooms, so it suits couples after a snug bolthole as much as families wanting a proper roof but a taste of camping. Dog walkers should ask ahead — the farm's flexible but it's worth checking what works for your stay.
It's open all year, which matters in this corner of Cumbria when winter can be properly wild. Campfires are a check-on-arrival situation, so have a chat when you turn up. Facilities aren't shouted about, but the place has that working-farm honesty — you're here for the fells and the quiet, not a leisure complex. Expect a straightforward, peaceful base with Penrith close enough for supplies and the high routes within easy reach.

Ullswater Way - Dalemain Loop
Follows gentle to moderate terrain around Dacre Beck and through parkland near historic Dalemain estate, with some undulating sections but nothing too challenging. Suitable for families with older children who can manage a few miles, though uneven ground and stiles make it tricky for buggies. Dogs welcome on leads, especially near livestock and the estate grounds. Offers lovely valley views, woodland paths, and a chance to explore quintessential Lakeland countryside without the crowds of Ullswat
