A stay @tweedsmuirparklodge is more than just fantastic “small group” wildlife and grizzly bear viewing. Guests can expect a bear-y high level of accommodation and personalized service. Guests get to stay in private timberframe or log chalets, as opposed to a single lodge building. We love this photo by @aaronbaggenstos!

It’s pretty astounding to think that just over 20 years ago, the site of the Eden Project was a working china clay pit! How the landscape has changed… 🌿 . . 📸 captured by: @beckyallott
