  • 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.

Disliked Inconsiderate seasonal pitch next to us. Young boy hit a ball against our caravan. They also had a fire going with music to around 1am.

From the manager: We are sorry that you experienced this but at no point during your stay did you contact anyone to inform them that this was going on in order for us to put it right. We are a small family business who do our best to make sure that everyone has an enjoyable stay to which we feel disappointed we weren't given the opportunity to do this for you.

Liked The couple that run the site are lovely. The facilities get cleaned 3 times a day and are spotless. They also run a cafe on site thur-sun. It was lovely and quiet.

Disliked We saw a couple of people let their dogs mess on the grass in the middle of the site and did not clear it up.

Local attractions

It’s hard to know what to do first when you’re staying at Farletonview, as there’s a whole raft of options within 10 minutes’ drive of the site. For those of you who like to have a nose around old houses, Levens Hall is a statuesque Elizabethan mansion with spectacular knot gardens and walks through parkland, and National Trust-owned Sizergh is a 14th-century castle with period furniture in sumptuous wood-panelled rooms. You can be walking and cycling in the Lake District National Park in 10 minutes’s drive too, as well as going quad biking at the Outdoor Adventure Company or shooting clay pigeons at Crabtree Clay Shoot you fancy a bit more action. Only slightly further away is the popular hill walk up Arnside Knott (15 minutes) for views over the Irish Sea. Not quite what you’re after? Get out on the water with a boat cruise around Lake Windermere (20 minutes), have a flutter on the horses at Cartmel Racecourse (25 minutes), or slip over the county lines for a foray up to stunning Hardraw Force waterfall (45 minutes) in the Yorkshire Dales National Park (20 minutes).
