About EcoPod Holidays
The five pods are set spaciously within an orchard of a hundred different fruit trees in a 10 acre meadow with a woodland backdrop and snaking pathways linking the EcoPods together. Truly a great place to relax and unwind. There are so many different birds, there are local buzzards like red kites, woodpeckers, mistle thrush, and ravens that you could be in an episode of Spring Watch. Once you get here you are welcome to walk around the 100 acre farm, there is a short onsite walk for little ones and a longer 5-pub walk for those with longer legs and exploring nature. The glamping site is totally off-grid and was supported by the Peak District National Park through an Environmental Economy grant from the EU.
