The Locations
4 Winds Lakeland Tipis currently operates from Fell Foot Woods in the beautiful English Lake District. The site was chosen for the views, woodland areas, natural environment and basic and functional facilities. We have brought Native American style into the heart of the Lakes. We use our tipis as nomadic dwellings moving between locations as needed.Fell Foot Woods - Newby Bridge, Cumbria - Location details.
The Woodland Calendar
First come the Hazel catkins and Celandines then in spring the site has a natural covering of Bluebells with Blackthorn and Hawthorn in flower then the Foxgloves and Oxeye Daisies make their appearance. In the summer you can pick and eat the most delicious wild cherries and autumn has the colourful berries of the Guelder Rose and the Elderberry. Through the winter there is Holly and Ivy and into the New Year for wild Primroses. Situated directly across from the National Trusts Fell Foot Park, Fell Foot Woods offers a great alternative to the usual Lake District campsite. The site offers wild camping which is a more informal and natural type of camping.
Setting
The tipis are situated on designated areas around the central woodland area.
On Site Facilities
The facilities at Fell Foot Woods are basic but clean. Our site is more ‘wild’ camping than luxury but this only adds to the appeal of a more natural sustainable experience.
Our water source is spring fed and as such health and safety policy recommends that we advise guests to boil their water for drinking, so you may wish to bring some bottled water with you.
4 Winds guests have the use of the sites toilets (2 female with 2 washbasins, 1 male with washbasin) 1 shower. And there is also a covered washing-up area with hot water.
We also offer Fell Foot guests a fire bowl or brazier for use outside the tipi.
