Stone Raise Bells - Bell 2

Located in the stunning Eden Valley, Stone Raise Farm is a great base from which to explore the fells, lakes and peaks of Cumbria. When you arrive, spacious bell tents are already pitched and just waiting for you to settle in – all you need to do is get your bedding installed on the beds and get into that holiday vibe as fast as possible. This is wild-style camping rather than full-service glamping (simple facilities include compost toilets and a solar shower) with just a handful of bell tents on a working farm with stunning country views, yet reasonably close to Carlisle’s handy supermarkets (25 minutes’ drive) for anything that you’ve forgotten to bring with you. Once you get down to the serious business of exploring the countryside in this handsome corner of Cumbria, you’ll find riverside walks along the Eden and a choice of national parks to visit. The mountains, hiking routes and watersports of the Lake District are less than 30 minutes’ drive away, while the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty serves up rugged walking and cycling routes over moorland to dramatic waterfalls. You can barbecue on site, but if you don’t want to cook there are village pubs within 10 minutes’ drive, where you’ll get a warm reception, local beers and comfort food.
