In mid March we have planted over 400 trees kindly donated by the woodland trust. We ask that you keep well away from these trees so that the woodland is able to be enjoyed for many generations to come. These trees are clearly visible and mainly grouped in patches however there are a few scattered around site. Damage that is considered to be intentional or widespread will be charged for.
Thank you, The Urswick Subteam

If being out in the cold isn't for you or you simply want additional cooking facilities booking the hut may be the best option for you.
