The hardstanding touring pitches

  • Well-kept touring site 10 minutes’ drive from Milnthorpe in Cumbria
  • Lake District National Park and Sizergh Castle both 10 minutes’ drive
  • Fly fishery, café and modern showers five minutes’ drive from the M6
Farletonview is a family-run site on a diversified farm surrounded by spectacular Cumbrian countryside; every hardstanding tourer pitch has glorious views over Farleton Knott and the fells, yet you’re an easy 10 minutes’ drive from shops and services in Milnthorpe. Farletonview is handy for exploring North Lancashire and Cumbria, while both the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales national parks are easy to get to as the site is only about five minutes’ drive from Junction 36 of the M6. If you’d prefer to abandon the car while on site, it’s 20 minutes’ walk to the nearest bus stop for Kendal or Kirkby Lonsdale. After a busy day out and about, you can refuel on tasty homemade soup, sausage rolls and cakes in the tearoom; alternatively it’s 20 minutes’ walk to the local pub for bar snacks and meals. You have a good choice of inns and takeaways within 10 minutes’ drive as well. There’s no reason to stray too far from your pitch if you don’t feel like it though. Angling folk will be hard to budge from the fly-fishing lake, which operates on a catch-and-release with permits available on site – and if you’re looking for unusual souvenirs of your Cumbria stay, stock up on cottage-garden perennials at the plant nursery. Practical amenities on site include showers, a washing-up station and waste and grey water disposal.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Spacious site, beautiful views, friendly owners, from grandad, daughter and grandson all so helpful. Loved that there was an enclosed dog field at night. Loved the plant nursery on site, sheep and lambs galore. Tea room also on site although didn’t use. Very clean facilities and good view over fly fishing lake from our pitch. Quiet site and distant sound of M6 don’t bother us

Disliked: Satnav using postcode took us to other side of M6 but quick phone call to site and we were guided straight there. We were on a fully serviced pitch and the hard standing appeared to be partly made up of old road surface and we had some tar tracked into the caravan.

Liked: Beautiful Camp Site just located off the M6. You can hear the motorway but not enough to warrant any disruption to your stay. Campsite was very modern with exceptionally clean facilities & a small cafe on site.
