Swinton Bivouac is perched atop a picturesque hills on the Swinton Estate which is one of the most beautiful settings in the Yorkshire Dales. The 20,000 acre Swinton Estate stretches from the River Ure and charming market town of Masham in Wensleydale up to the moorland dales and the Yorkshire Dales National Park. We are also located in the Nidderdale AONB.
Our woodland is spread over the hilltop and is not only home to our gorgeous rustic Tree Lodges, built using traditional round wood timber framing techniques, but also Druid’s Temple, a local historical site and impressive folly constructed during the late 1800s. As you stroll round the woodland there is a plethora of breath taking views looking out over the moorland and valley below.
Bivouac has a Bistro Café, toilets and showers in the restored barn, six Tree Lodges, eight Meadow Yurts and a cosy Bunk Barn with twelve beds. We also have a birds of prey centre, a few quirky farm animals and cater for woodland, temple and rustic weddings.
