Meet the family who are putting art and magic into off-grid glamping in a Yorkshire woodland...
The site is still going strong despite many other providers jumping on the glampsite bandwagon.None of the structures they have created are permanent and, other than the odd pole and the biodigester, nothing is dug into the ground, so nature can carry on pretty much regardless of human presence.
The latest addition are new bothies, though they are like no other bothy and defy the dictionary definition of “basic shelter”. The Queen Mab bothy, named after a fairy in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, features a sitting room ceiling painted as a skyful of birds while the bathroom is something Botticelli would wonder at and the handmade headboard in the main bedroom is a Gothic masterpiece.
Bring suitable footwear and clothing is the Van Outersterp’s plea as this allows you to enjoy and make the most of the stay at the site, which is open year round.It offers what is now known as forest bathing, that feeling of happiness and well-being that comes from being calm and quiet amongst the trees while observing nature.
