Denham’s Rest

08/09/2026

We were recently visited by Hetty from Forest of Bowland National Landscape , who came along to tell us about all the wonderful resources available for exploring the Forest of Bowland and the beautiful surrounding area.

As we’re lucky enough to be situated right on the edge of the Forest of Bowland, it’s something we’re always keen to encourage our guests to explore during their stay. From scenic walks and hidden gems to local attractions and places to visit, there’s so much to discover on our doorstep.

The Discover Bowland app is a brilliant resource for guests, packed with walking routes and lots of useful information to help you make the most of your time exploring this beautiful corner of Lancashire.

Hetty also kindly left us a selection of leaflets, which we’ve stocked in the huts for guests to browse at their leisure, perfect for planning a day of exploring, finding a new walking route or simply discovering somewhere you might not otherwise have come across.

Come and explore for yourselves. 🌿🥾

Three children. Changeover days. Fox Hut building work. Mountains of laundry. And some ice cream research. 🍦

I’ve just shared what we’ve been up to this summer, including our 5 favourite family days out, our hunt for the Ribble Valley’s best ice cream 🍦 and why we’re now on the lookout for the perfect Sunday roast. 👀

Plus, a little behind the scenes look at what’s happening with Fox Hut…

Head over to the blog and have a read.

If you’ve ever wondered what happens behind the scenes at Denham’s Rest during the school holidays, the honest answer is… chaos. Running a little glamping business is idyllic in theory. Shepherd’s huts, countryside views, slow mornings, guests escaping the hustle and bustle… And then there...
