Crosthwaite - Damson View Glamping
We have lots of lovely local walks direct from our door which include a private walk up our fell (behind the glamping pods) where we have a cairn.  The cairn was built by the local children at Crosthwaite Primary School many years ago.  The views are amazing from the top.

It is a 10 minute stroll to our local pub, The Punchbowl Inn which is right next door to our local church.
