Sian's Shepherds Hut

This is Sian's Shepherds Hut. It's one of four huts on a site called The Garrison in Bowness on Solway. It's a proper hut, wood and metal, on wheels. Sleeps three. One room with a double bed and a single bunk above it, and a small bathroom with a shower.

The site used to be a Roman fort. They found a lot of stuff when they were building the place. There's a little model of the fort you can look at and a small shop.

You get your own bit of patio outside the hut. The site has a shared gym you can use and a bistro that does meals.

Bowness is a small village right on the Solway coast. There's a tearoom and a pub here, both a short walk away. For more options, Silloth is a ten minute drive along the coast. They've got cafes and a good golf course.

The location is good for getting to different places. Carlisle is about twenty minutes drive. Southern Scotland, like Gretna, is half an hour. The northern edge of the Lake District, the bit around Caldbeck, is within half an hour. Keswick and the central lakes are about an hour's drive.

It's popular with walkers and cyclists. The coast to coast path finishes here at Bowness. Hadrian's Cycleway runs right through the village. The whole Solway Coast is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, good for birdwatching.

Facilities: There's a TV, WiFi, bedding and towels are included, and you can park right by the hut. One well-behaved dog is allowed. It's glamping, so space is clever but limited. You're here for the location and the experience, not for a lot of room.
