I just want to let you know that you can have the Lake District to yourself at The Wild Wool Barn Ennerdale. Nestled in the Western Fells with direct access to the Fells and miles of forest walks, cycle rides and a lake shore accessible from the door. Book yourself a break before anybody else finds out about it.
After the wintery months of cold, snow, rain and wind the warmer climes of Spring are now on their way. The wild birds are already returning to seek out their nesting places in which to raise this year’s young. The voles, field mice and even frogs are awaking and returning to the moorland and waterways. The sound of Curlew and Golden Plover mixed with Lapwing and Sky Lark fills the sky above the moors. The valleys with their babbling becks now carry the sound of Wagtails, Dippers and Oyster Catchers.
Blue Room Hostel offers a range of en suite accommodation, including double rooms and dorms. Guests can relax in the bar and lounge, with plenty of dining options just a short walk away. The South West Coast Path runs nearby, and Great Western and Tolcarne Beaches are only a two-minute stroll from the hostel. Newquay makes for the perfect stop along your journey—hit the beach, take a surf lesson, and unwind with a refreshing cider. Most importantly, kick back and enjoy a restful night’s sleep.
Did you know you can book your own private room at Shining Cliff hostel from Sunday -Thursday?
We are uniquely situated in the heart of an ancient woodland and have no road access, so guests can arrive at Ambergate by train or bus and walk up through the woodland to the hostel, or arrive by car and wheelbarrow or carry your belongings for half a mile along stunning woodland footpaths from the car park to the hostel!
Located in the Teifi Valley, the Long Barn offers a chance to escape for a weekend with Ceredigion’s beautiful countryside all around. The 18th century converted stone barn exudes a homely feel. A wood-burning stove is available for those last few chilly nights before spring. The games area including a pool table makes for easy entertainment of children (and competitive adults). As the barn happens to be on a farm Easter is a magical time for us as our ewes and cows give birth, and if that isn’t enough to quench your thirst for Easter activities try something different. Maybe a long walk with family or perhaps a less orthodox trip to the seaside. Whatever your perfect idea of Easter is the Long Barn would love to host you.
We are located within the circuit of the route, so convenient for participants and their supporters. Now in its 33 year the event takes place on Sunday 6 April 2024
With only 11 beds, this is a relaxed and friendly place to warden, based in the pretty village of Puttenham. Guest hours are 5pm to 10am so you have the day to yourself. Explore the local area or relax in our wildflower garden. You can stay for short or long periods, and if you are local to Guildford we can be as fleixble as you are. This opportunity would suit anyone who likes nature/the outdoors/ hiking or cycling, and enjoys looking after guests. Customer service is very important to us and we want to make sure everyone who stays at the Barn goes away happy – including our wardens! If you are interested in becoming a warden at Puttenham Barn, please email me at support@puttenhambarn.uk – I would be very happy to hear from you. Tish Piwowarek
Happy to accommodate 16/17 year olds with parental consent.
There’s plenty to do and see in Shropshire – the famous Cardingmill Valley is a lovely walk from the bunkhouse – you can either go the easy route or challenge yourself by a ‘straight up and down’ route. Once there, you can have tea and cake in the National Trust cafe, maybe a wild swim in the reservoir or take off up the valley to see the Lightspout Waterfall. Soon the hill sheep will start lambing and it’s lovely to watch the newborns chasing each other around the hills. If you are lucky, you may see some of the herd of wild horses with foals. Spoil yourself and come and join us – we don’t mind sharing!
Come and join us at Shining Cliff hostel this Spring to immerse yourselves in the joy of new leaves bursting from the branches, Bluebells poking their leaves through the soil, birdsong filling the woodland, it’s absolutely delightful!

We are holding an Open Afternoon on the day to mark this momentous occasion. Anyone who has been involved as a volunteer helper, user or is simply interested is invited to come and see how the centre has developed from the derelict hill farm in Snowdonia that the Blackburn & District Outdoor Pursuits Centre Trust bought in 1969.
We will be providing afternoon tea (ByG style) and to help us with catering numbers please email us at info@bron-y-gader.org if you wish to come along.

Looking to unwind? How about staying at Shining Cliff hostel, an off-road hostel located in the heart of Shining Cliff Woods, an ancient woodland in Derbyshire?
Wake up to views over the fields with the only sound being the cuckoos and sheep on the doorstep! We’re open all year round but with the lighter nights on the way, Easter is a great time to enjoy the unlimited outdoor space. We’re an ideal base for exploring Northumberland National Park including the International Dark Sky Park. Footpaths and bridleways criss-cross our farm – ideal for walking, running, on- and off-road cycling and horse-riding (paddocks available). If that all sounds too active for you, the farm is accessible by car and you don’t have to walk far to see the sheep, hares, grouse, curlews and archaeological sites. If you tick all this off the list, it’s only 5 miles to Ingram and the Breamish Valley with it’s fantastic little cafe and gift shop, or 15-20 miles to Alnwick and lovely sandy beaches.
Snowdon Mountain Hostel lies directly on the route as it winds up the Ogwen Valley just north of Nant Fracon. Perfect for groups of up to 24.
Cycling clubs and large groups of up to 33 will find a perfect stop-over on their Traws Eyri Bikepacking expedition at the Woodlands Centre in Betws-y-Coed.
