  • Friendly Lake District fell farm site with far-reaching views
  • A quarter of an hour's drive from Ullswater and Pooley Bridge
  • Walkers' paradise in the Eden Valley
Looking to go back to basics and experience the simple pleasures of wild camping? Setterah Park Farm Campsite is a welcoming Lake District campsite a mile and a half from the quiet village of Askham. Set on a traditional fell farm, this Cumbrian site has spectacular views over the local landscape and makes a great starting point for treks out to Helton Fell, Ullswater, Pooley Bridge and other remote spots. This private site is located at the end of a quiet track, where the friendly owners live in a traditional Lakeland farmhouse – don't hesitate to get in touch with them for tips and advice about the local area or to buy some fresh eggs and the farm's own honey. For more on the food front, it's roughly a half-hour walk down into the village, where there's a local shop and pubs to try out, as well as an outdoor pool. Similarly close is Lowther Castle and Gardens, a large country estate that you may well want to visit during your stay here, and where you can hire bikes for more extensive exploration or take the kids to the large adventure playground. If you're in the mood for roving beyond the Lowther Valley, it's a straightforward 15-minute drive to Penrith, a market town with several supermarkets, a local butcher and a deli.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Great site hot showers real toilets. Wonderful views and only ten mins drive away from everything you need.

Disliked Very sloped site. Never saw the owners to purchase some honey which we would have liked.

If your not careful driving down the road to the farm you will knock the bottom of your car
