Bifrøst – The Yurt With a View
Bifrøst is our 14ft Yurt perched on the top of the ghyll edge, with views down over Blencathra and the Lake District.
Bifrøst comes with its own field kitchen with running water, a gas hob for cooking, its own fire pit dug down to give protection from the elements, a compost toilet and a personal shower with a view.
Bifrøst in Viking mythology, is the rainbow bridge which joins Asgard, the realm of the goods, to Midgard, the land of mortals. You can feel this when you sit out and see the views which join the Pennine Fells to the Wainwright Fells of the Lake District National Park. If you’re lucky, you can sometimes see a rainbow which reaches over Bifrøst across the fells. The bridge ends in heaven at Himinbjørg, the residence of the god Heimdallr, who guards it from the Jøtnar, or frost giants. The bridge’s destruction during Ragnarøk by the forces of Muspell is foretold, and can be imagined when the Helm Wind blows. Scholars have proposed that the bridge may have originally represented the Milky Way – on clear nights, there’s no place better in the British Isles to sit out by the fire and gaze up at the stars over the dark night skies of the Northern Fells. You’ll feel like you are looking over the whole of creation.
