Bough down to Britain’s first tree tent

Red Kite Tree Tent hidden in the trees - small res

Say hello to the UK’s first tree tent.

The Red Kite Tree Tent, near Builth Wells in Powys, Wales, is a tree house with a twist, fusing elements of conventional camping and log-cabin living to create a unique ‘glamping’ experience. 

Set high among the trees in 80 acres of private woodland, the Red Kite Tree Tent is essentially a giant 3m orb suspended from the trees and created from a lightweight hybrid aluminium static airframe.

With space for two adults, the tree tent features a double bed, log burning stove and “en suite” facilities deck with sink, loo and outside shower.  There is also a stream side decked area that incorporates a fire pit perfect for alfresco dining day or evening. The tree tent is fully wool insulated to withstand all weather conditions for enjoyment all year round and electricity means that you don’t have to leave all modern luxuries and gadgets behind should you not wish to.

The Red Kite Tree Tent is as close to nature as it gets – a totally remote hideaway with birds eye views of the surrounding Welsh forest which attracts barn owls, woodpeckers and red kites.

Three nights’ self-catering is from £299 for two.
