Glamping The Peak District
Enjoy glamping in safari tented lodges at a secluded farm in the glorious High Peak District at Edale Gathering. Only a few hundred yards to the pubs and cafes of Edale village we are at the official start of the Pennine Way. Located next to a bubbling moorland brook on one side there is nothing but stunning views over dry-stone walled pastures and open moorland. Our open access land leads from the farm gate, so you roam where you wish.
