At Edenshire Landpods, we believe that being surrounded by nature and the elements gives you the opportunity to disconnect from the everyday challenges of life and reconnect you to a more simplistic and harmonious way of living. 
We want to share with our guests, what we feel privileged and grateful to wake up to every morning.      

Our Landpod site is situated in a field on private land, it is host to a variety of wildlife, which we enjoy living alongside. Abundant in rabbits and hares with frequenting hedgehogs and deer. The occasional elusive badger can be seen if you are lucky and of course our neighbouring residents the moles, whose mole hills and tunnels appear everywhere to mark there territory around the Landpods. In the spring the adjoining fields are dotted with ewes and there new born lambs so your stay will be accompanied by the sound of bleats and baa’s and often the occasional escapee !      

We have ground nesting birds throughout the year and you will regularly hear the familiar call of the cock bird pheasant when he perches himself on the site entrance gate, whilst partridges and black grouse are less inquisitive.   
 Curlews, Snipe and not forgetting the infamous Lapwings with there extraordinary vocal range, from there distinctive peewit to the dramatic humming and lapping sounds their wings create, whilst performing aerobic mating displays during the spring and summer months. 
 We cannot forget our resident pair of Barn owls who have chosen our big shed to roost, as part of their home range and whose shrill screech, accompanied by the hoo. hu-hoo of the Tawny and the chi-chi-chi alarm call of the Little owl fill the evening air.      

The low light pollution in the Northern Pennines AONB means that on a clear moonless night, during the autumn, winter and early spring months you can stargaze from your Landpod lodgings and may catch a glimpse of the Milky Way above you. We are fortunate to have this dark sky friendly back drop where we are and also for the avid stargazer dark sky sites close by to appreciate the myriad of stars and constellations that house our skies.    

We refer to ourselves as the home of the ‘hardy‘ camper as the weather here can be very changeable and we experience our fair share of rain. It was Alfred Wainwright who in 1973 wrote in his book Coast to Coast, (which we are on the route of for cyclists and walkers) 

“There is no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing”.  

You will need waterproof clothing and footwear, warm layers and socks all year round, if you want to make the most of your time here. To appreciate and fully experience nature you have to immerse yourself in it, no matter what the weather. 

Whilst we offer some creature comforts in the form of hot showers, comfortable lodgings and a ’Snack Shack’ to prepare a simple meal, we do not define ourselves as a glamping site. We are……….
