Gorgeous glamping in lovely Lancashire! This little hamlet of h&-crafted shepherd's huts is ready to welcome you on a one or two-night break for up to four people. Time to pack your bag & go to this delightful corner of the country! These glamping huts are nestled together in a rather unique location. Mid-way between Preston & Blackburn you'll find Samlesbury Hall. It's an eye-catching medieval black & white half-timber framed house that is steeped in history. Spending a night or two in the grounds of the hall on a glamping break is a real treat for all ages. The gathering of colourful huts is in a quiet spot & whilst being rural & rustic they do have all those little luxuries you want. Each one has an en-suite with hot shower & toilet (so no getting lost in the dark trying to find the toilet block!) & a set of double bunk beds (one double bed above the other). The huts are all heated so you're nice & toasty & are kitted out with tea & coffee-making facilities lighting & sockets to charge phones etc. There are no cooking facilities inside but there's a fire pit outside & you're welcome to BBQ. But in all honesty with the Hall's restaurant (open for breakfast & lunch) & Dottie's Wafflery plus the plethora of local eateries in the village you won't be wanting to cook anyway. What you will want to be doing during your glamping break is visiting & sightseeing. This part of Preston is very rural with lovely farm shops country parks & the River Ribble running through the Lancashire countryside. Of course you must make sure you take time to visit Samlesbury Hall itself with regular guided tours events & activities all of which are free. Our special tip if you go with the kids: take torches & explore the grounds after dark. It's great fun. Then in daylight don't miss the playground & the mini golf then go & say hi to the rescue animals that also live on the estate. We think going glamping in Lancashire is a great way to spend a weekend or a midweek break. Don't forget each hut sleeps up to four (kids or adults) so they represent great value for your money too. Being heated & insulated they're open all year round so you can be a happy glamper in any season! ...

Hark back to the classic days of Group B rallying on these Sierra Cosworth rally experiences! The Sierra rally car was a bit of an icon in the motorsport world of the mid 1980s. Hundreds of thousands of L & GL versions (remember them?) roamed the streets but on the rally track it was the Sierra Cosworth that ruled the roost. Well when we say that Ford Motorsport's Sierra RS Cosworth never actually won a World Championship title overall
- but the car & its drivers certainly had some serious fun trying. The likes of rallying legends Carlos Sainz Stig Blomquist & Ari Vatanen have all been at the wheel of a Sierra Cosworth rally with many a stage win. The problem was the Ford Sierra was rallying at a time when the newfangled four wheel drive mean machines were coming out in force led by the Lancia Delta Integrale & the Toyota Celica. Whilst holding its own on the tarmac stages the rear wheel drive Cossie just couldn't match these cars for grip on gravel no matter how much power it boasted. But in today's motorsporting world where every car is all wheel drive it's a real rallying treat to be able to drive the rear wheel drive Ford Cosworth. This centre has a souped up four door Sierra Sapphire saloon & the classic two-door RS Cosworth
- complete with mahoosive whale tail. We have to say there will be a lot of overseer on the gravel stage if you don't get the Cossy under control. & that's what learning to rally is all about. Once you've got to grips with the handling when driving along a surface that feels like a bed of marbles you'll be able to increase the speed & improve your times with every lap. There to help you will be a team of instructors led by school owner Tom. He's pretty good at this rallying lark so hopefully you'll learn some of best bits of rallying from him & the pros. & for that same reason we highly recommend the hotlap to go with your Sierra Cosworth rally session
- it'll show you what it's really all about & it'll be in one of the Sierras!
