YHA Dufton is a great base for outdoor activity breaks and exploring the wild moorland and green valleys which characterise the area. This accommodation in Cumbria is the perfect opportunity to stay in Europe’s first Geopark, an area of great geological interest.
YHA Dufton faces the pretty village green near to the Pennine Way, and is perfectly placed to give easy access to Cross Fell and High Cup Nick. The area is great for walking and cycling holidays or just a relaxing weekend break in a quiet village.
YHA Dufton has 32 beds in a selection of dorm, private and en-suite rooms. The Youth Hostel also has educational facilities, beautiful grounds and cosy social areas. The open plan dining space and common room has a selection of tables and chairs and comfortable seating.
The manager, his family and staff live on-site, in an adjacent building, and share access to the hostel garden.
