About Wallsend Guest House and Glamping Pods
This tranquil site is within the small village of Bowness-on-Solway, about twelve miles west of Carlisle. Fantastic for walking and cycling, the area is packed with nature and acts as the jumping off point for both the Hadrian's Wall National Trail and the NCN Route 72. Owners Barry and Michelle are locals from Carlisle and are keen cyclists. They're on hand to make your stay a relaxing one, including recommending an excellent local pub or the right cycle route. A set of furnished glamping pods make the perfect base for exploring the area. Each sleeps up to four and is toasty warm with heating and electricity supplied. Inside there are excellent beds and sofa beds, a TV and mod cons such as a fridge, toaster, kettle, sink and set of hot plates. You even have a comfy table and chairs too. If you're wanting to fully indulge, opt for one of the pods with either a two, or four person log burner hot tub. Enjoy a glass of wine whilst you unwind beneath the stars, the perfect way to spend your evening! Dogs are welcome to stay with you, but must be on a lead at all times and be cleaned up after. Whole site booking for your exclusive use is also available.
The site is open from 1st February to 1st January, although are available for special requests outside of these dates.
En-suite shower and toilet facilities are available within each pod.
Just up the road is the local pub which serves meals each day of the week and there are many other pubs within a short distance. The nearest shop is at Kirkbride, a short drive away.

We had a lovely stay at Wallsend Glamping Pods. The site was nice and quiet and the pods were lovely and clean with all essential items included. The area is very quiet so it's definitely a place to go and relax. Check in was easy too. Barry was great and came to meet us, he showed us around and how to use the hot tub, which was great. The hot tub was a lovely extra and is more similar to a hot bath outside, which was nice as you don't get the noise of a usual hot tub. Overall we had a great stay and would recommend to people wanting a quiet few days away.

Stayed in Pickhill and had a lovely and relaxing weekend for boyfriend's birthday. The pod was cosy, warm and clean. Enjoyed the hot tub was very relaxing and could see all the stars, seen some shooting stars! Went for a meal at The King's Arms, which is just down the road from the pod - had an amazing meal! Ordered takeout the next night from the Garrison Bistro, next to The King's Arms, which was great! Spent the rest of the weekend at Carlisle Castle and town, which is just a short drive away from the pod. Would definitely stay again.

Things to do on site and in the Wigton area
Birdwatching at Campfield Marsh RSPB is an ideal option for nature lovers. Many trails lead to a wheelchair accessible hide perfect for spotting lapwings, redshanks and snipe in the summer and thousands of swans, ducks and geese in the winter.
Perfect for history fans, cyclists and walkers, Hadrian's wall stretches across 73 miles and reaches Bowness-on-Solway, steeped in history. There's both a national trail and a cycleway to follow, and the most important monument of Roman Britain is not to be missed!
Being between the Lakes and Scottish Borders, both are within easy reach. Have a browse around buzzing Carlisle or spend a day uncovering the incredible fells of the Lake District.
Other things to see and do:
- Clip and Climb Maryport
- Maryport Aquarium
- Tullie House Museum
- Carlisle Castle
- West Coast Indoor Karting Maryport
- The Lakes Distillery Bassenthwaite
- Gretna Gateway Shopping Centre
