  • Peaceful, friendly touring park 10 minutes' drive from Penrith
  • Ullswater 10 minutes' drive; Rheged Visitor Centre two miles
  • Parallel to a spacious farmhouse garden overlooking mature trees
Staying near Penrith puts you within easy access of the Lake District National Park, so make yourself at home at the pitches at Tymparon Hall, set in the grounds of an 18th-century manor house just a 10-minute drive from both Penrith and Ullswater. This peaceful, friendly park is sheltered to the east by the old Penrith to Keswick railway embankment, which runs parallel to the site's farmhouse garden (overlooking a summer garden with colourful flowers and landscaped with mature trees). It's in prime national park exploring territory, four miles from Junction 40 of the M6 near Penrith and within easy reach of the Eden Valley. The Aira Force waterfall is a 15-minute drive away, and it's 20 minutes to Blencathra or 25 to Helvellyn. Showers, toilets and chemical disposal are all available on site. The local pub, an old-school inn, is about a 10-minute walk or a two-minute drive away; the nearest supermarket is within four miles.

What customers say

This is a quiet, well-maintained site with friendly owners, often praised for its peaceful atmosphere and beautiful rural surroundings. Pitches are generally level and spacious, with electric hook-up and water available. Facilities, while described by some as basic or dated, are reported as clean. Some guests noted a lack of dog walking areas and limited washing-up facilities. It's a popular stopover location, conveniently close to the M6.

Local attractions

Tymparon Hall is 10 minutes from Pooley Bridge and its Bronze Age standing stones, and Lake Ullswater for steamboat trips, sailing, diving and scaling England's third highest mountain Helvellyn to the lake's south. At its west, walk through Lake District woodland to reach Aria Force waterfall. The Rheged Visitor Centre is a couple of miles from Tymparon: head here for a six-storey high cinema screen, shops, cafés using Cumbrian produce, indoor and outdoor play areas, and family-friendly activities and events throughout the year. This is Eden Valley land too, along with lots of opps for walks, bike rides and pony riding in the valley, Greystoke Forest, around the Lakeland Fells and back at Ullswater. A little further afield but still easily accessible from the site, Hadrian's Wall and Carlisle are both excellent options for days out.
