Nestled in the beautiful Lancashire countryside, between the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales, Redshank is one of five off-grid safari tents in the peaceful Forest of Bowland. Surrounded by rolling fells, working farms and endless views, it's the perfect place to switch off and enjoy nature. Spot local wildlife, explore the nearby River Brock, and make lasting memories with family and friends.
Each of our off-grid safari tents at Lantern & Larks accommodates six guests across three bedrooms. There is one king size room, one twin room and one bunk bedroom. Inside, there is an open plan living area with a spacious kitchen featuring a double gas hob, two cool boxes, a dining table, a comfortable seating area and a wood-burning stove. Each safari tent also has its own private bathroom facilities with running water, as well as its own outdoor seating area with a firepit and unlimited logs included.
We provide rechargeable lanterns and hot water bottles to keep you cosy in the evenings - though it’s always worth packing for a little bit of everything when it comes to British weather.
Bleasdale sits above a private stretch of the River Brock, where children can paddle, build dams, spot sticklebacks and explore the riverbank. A nearby woodland is perfect for den building and adventures, while the open grassy area is ideal for football, kites and outdoor games. Board games are also available to borrow from the site shop.
From your tent, explore the Forest of Bowland on foot or by bike, with peaceful countryside, quiet lanes and stunning views. Cycle to Beacon Fell Country Park or the village of Chipping, home to pubs, cafes and an ice cream shop. Electric bike hire and local horse riding are also available nearby. End the day cooking outdoors, spotting wildlife and enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
Bleasdale is also well placed for exploring both the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District, with Windermere making a wonderful day trip at any time of year.

Weâve been visiting Lantern and Larks at Bleasdale for years, and always have a wonderful time. Itâs so nice to switch off from the outside world, and spending the evening around a fire watching the owl swoop along the valley is incredible!

Fantastic stay! Lovely stay, we were able to switched off and relax in the safari tents, with all the comforts of a great glamping stay! Loved the log burning oven, the comfy beds and all the little touches including deck chairs, hot water bottles and candles.
