  • Peaceful, relaxing, sheltered and friendly park near Penrith
  • A short journey to Ullswater and two miles from Rheged Visitor Centre
  • Parallel to a spacious farmhouse garden overlooking mature trees
Off to pretty Penrith to access the lovely Lake District? Feel posh with a pitch at Tymparon Hall, set in the grounds of an 18th-century manor house. The peaceful and friendly park is sheltered to the east by the old Penrith to Keswick railway embankment, running parallel to a roomy farmhouse garden overlooking a summer garden with colourful flowers and landscaped with mature trees. It's in prime national park exploring land, four miles from Junction 40 of the M6 near Penrith, on the doorstep of the Eden valley and a 10-minute drive from Lake Ullswater. Showers, toilets and chemical disposal are available on site. The local pub, an old-school inn, is about 10 minutes' walk or two minutes' drive away; the nearest supermarket is within four miles.

What customers say

This is a consistently praised quiet and peaceful site, described as clean, well-maintained, and beautifully kept. Reviewers highlight the friendly and welcoming nature of the owner, Margaret. Facilities, including showers and toilets, are generally reported as clean and adequate, though some found them dated or a little basic. Pitches are often noted as level and well-serviced. Its convenient location near the M6 and for visiting the Lake District is a significant plus, as is the proximity of a good pub. Some minor drawbacks mentioned include limited dog walking areas, a lack of outdoor washing-up facilities, and occasional issues with shower timers or Wi-Fi.

Local attractions

Tymparon Hall is 10 minutes both 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.
