Go on a Wigwam holiday in Lee Valley & stay in a funky timber cabin! These domed wooden cabins built by Wigwam are totally cute. It's all about being at one with nature in the lovely Lee Valley but not without your home comforts. The ' Wee Brave' Wigwam cabin sleeps two people whilst the slightly larger ' Big Chief' version can comfortably sleep four. They're just as you'd imagine inside with wood cladding & an all-in-one sleeping dining & living area. There's heating & electricity too (and even a TV with DVD player).

Big Chief Wigwams also have a small hot plate so you knock up a simple meal or two. If you can manage to tear yourself away from your cosy Wigwam cabin there's lots to do & see in the Lee Valley. Right on your doorstep is fishing miles & miles of car-free tracks & trails a children's play par... ...
