Off grid, remote and peaceful, the perfect place to get back to basics

Do you like an adventure? If so, our camping barn, located near Alstonefield in the beautiful Peak District National Park, could be just right for your winter escape.

Get together with a group of like-minded people and enjoy sole use of the barn with every booking — making it a very economical option.

The barn has a cosy wood-burning stove downstairs, but with no heating upstairs you do need to be hardy at this time of year. Bring plenty of warm blankets, warm clothes and hot water bottles, and you’ll be fine. Don’t forget all your usual camping equipment too.

Start making plans now.

The Whithorn Way

The Whithorn Way is a 152-mile walking and cycling route that traces ancient paths to medieval pilgrimage sites such as St Ninian’s Cave. Around Whithorn, new wide gravel trails provide excellent opportunities for both cyclists and walkers, forming a growing network of scenic off-road routes. Whithorn itself is a captivating corner of South-West Scotland, steeped in history and natural beauty. Once a major medieval pilgrimage destination, it remains the spiritual heart of the region as the home of St Ninian — the 4th-century Christian saint, miracle worker, and possibly Scotland’s first missionary.
