Inspired by a passion for the outdoors and outdoor living we set out to change the way people camp. In 2008 set up Long Valley Yurts with just two 18ft Yurts at the beautiful campsite in the stunning Great Langdale valley in the heart of the Lake District National Park.
Not only is it a truly stunning and wild location but it also conveniently provided us with a name for our endeavor with ‘Great Langdale’ being the Norse for Long Valley.
So armed with two 18ft Yurts, a name and not much else we set out on our own journey of discovery……….and what a fantastic journey it has been so far.
Move forward fourteen years, we have now considerably expanded and are proud to offer Yurt holidays at four spectacular locations in the Lake District. Some of our sites also now have glorious Scandinavian wood fire hot tubs and with more exciting additons planned for the future there is a lot to look forward to.
Having helped pioneer this type of holiday experience we have now been joined by hundreds of other companies offering all manner of weird and wonderful types of accommodation. It has also led to the birth of a new word for the English dictionary with ‘Glamping’ being the byword for those seeking a ‘Glamorous Camping’ holiday.
We are still passionate about the outdoors and outdoor living. We continue to camp and revel in all it’s glorious forms and remain convinced of it’s power to bring people closer, build lasting memories and to enjoy and appreciate the simple things in life. We hope you will too.
Come and enjoy a holiday with a breath of fresh air and reconnect with the things that are important in your life.
