If you’re a glamping type, they have lodges with hot tubs. Imagine sitting in bubbling water while staring at the Lancashire hills, sipping cheap fizz and pretending you’re a Roman emperor. Just don’t drop the glass—the ducks will judge you.
There’s also a touring park for those of you who enjoy sleeping in a canvas bag while the wind tries to murder your tent. The pitches are spacious and level, which is basically a miracle in Britain. No one wants to cook a sausage while sliding downhill into a puddle of shame.
