- A five-minute drive from Bowness-on-Windermere; Ambleside 20 minutes
- Lake views on site; bus stop a couple of minutes' walk away
If the idea of watching the sun set over Windermere from your pitch sounds rather lovely, you'll need to take a look at Ghyll Head House Farm Certificated Location, a small site a little way back from the lake's eastern shore, with views across the lake.
This quiet site is part of a working farm/horse livery five minutes' drive from Bowness-on-Windermere, and the handful of pitches are available to members of the Caravan and Motorhome Club only; please note that no dogs are allowed, because of the site's horses.
From the site you can walk directly onto the fells or ride bikes to country pubs; the owners are happy to make suggestions of suitable routes, great places to eat and drink and places to go nearby. Bowness-on-Windermere has plenty of bars and eateries, as well as being home to The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction; if you don't fancy driving you can catch the bus from the bottom of the hill (services also take you to a Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway station, the Lakes Aquarium and towns including Keswick, Ambleside and Grasmere).
Each pitch has electric hookup, and there are shared water and waste disposal facilities nearby. A small amenities area has a shower and washing-up area as well as toilets.
One Shower and toilet facilities. This is shared with an area to wash up and nearby rubbish disposal.
