You can tell when the year is on the turn but we don’t look back at Downham Camping Barn because it has been a full on summer and the turning hedgerows and trees around the barn bring Autumnal cheer. It also makes us happy to have a stone tent rather than clingy, damp canvas to return to after a lovely day out walking and cycling, we are still hoping to welcome the first horseriders at some point.
Comfortably accommodating parties of 12, with sole use of this wonderful stone tent nestled in the shadow of Pendle Hill. Unimpeded views across the National Landscape Area with a daily changing vista of weather and the seasons. A weekend to remember, in an unforgettable landscape.
