About Ivy House
Tucked away in peaceful countryside near Appleby-in-Westmorland, Ivy House offers genuine wild camping with just a handful of pitches scattered across a pop-up field overlooking the Eden Valley. You'll share the space with resident horses and hens, plus sweeping views over gorgeous Cumbrian farmland – facilities are refreshingly minimal, with a farmyard loo and level grass pitches sheltered by mature trees. Secure parking keeps vehicles safe while you pitch up.
The market town of Appleby-in-Westmorland sits five minutes' drive away, home to butchers, bakers and proper pubs for those nights you'd rather not fire up the barbecue. Two village locals lie even closer if you fancy a stroll. Hiking and cycling routes spin off from quiet surrounding lanes – family-friendly loops through Gelt Woods or more serious rambles into the North Pennines National Landscape are all within easy reach.
