The morning sun catches the window of your own timber chalet, and there's nothing but birdsong and the creak of wood settling in the cool air — this is proper retreat-from-it-all glamping.
Buttercup Cottage offers self-contained chalets and camping pods for couples or small families looking for a private base rather than a traditional pitch-by-pitch campsite. It's the sort of spot where you unpack once, close the door on the weather if it turns, and still wake up somewhere properly rural. Dogs may be welcome — worth asking when you book — and the campfire policy varies, so check on arrival if you're planning to toast marshmallows under the stars.
Facilities aren't heavily listed, so this is more about the accommodation itself than a big onsite amenity block — think self-sufficient stays where your chalet or pod is your castle. The vibe is quiet, private, and low-key, ideal if you want countryside calm without canvas.

Lady Anne's Way
Spans 160km across the Pennines from Skipton to Penrith, following historic droving routes used by Lady Anne Clifford in the 1600s. Terrain varies dramatically—flat canal towpaths, rolling dales, steep moorland climbs and high-level traverses. Not suitable for young children or buggies; sections are remote and challenging. Dogs welcome but must be under control near livestock throughout. Offers outstanding historical interest, dramatic Pennine landscapes, and a true long-distance walking challen
