  • Quiet hillside farm site in west Cumbria with views to the sea
  • Coast, lakes, hill walks and mountain biking within 40 minutes' drive
  • Around five minutes' drive to Caldbeck for pub, cafés and shop
Blecogo… Red Dial… Theckthwaite Beck… There are some fine place names in this part of Cumbria and some fine spots to stop in, too. Wallace Lane Farm can't compete in the intriguing name stakes but it's certainly a winner on the fine spot front. The views from this farm are spectacular: the Irish Sea, the Solway Firth, the first of the Galloway hills. Whatever you're looking at, and whichever parts of this fab area you're visiting, you'll likely appreciate the laundry and drying room as well as the hot showers in the heated washrooms. And at the end of your day of exploring, you can sit round a campfire or grill your bangers on a barbecue – both are welcome and there are two washing-up areas for pots and pans. It's just over five minutes' drive from the farm to Caldbeck, which has a pub with food and two cafés as well as a shop for supplies. Perhaps you could pick up a picnic and wander through the village along the banks of the Caldew river? If you're into fishing, day permits are available on many of the rivers and streams of the surrounding area; the Wampool, Waver and Ellen are favourites for those seeking trout and salmon.

Oak tree 2 bedroom lodge

Liked: We loved everything about our little mini break, we came to celebrate our first wedding anniversary and it was just gorgeous, it's dog friendly too. It's like home from home has everything you need in the lodge we stayed in, it had from pot pans, toiletries, towels to fridge freezer and oven. The hot tub was unreal and guy came around every morning to add chlorine in. There's a lovely little dog friendly walk/trail around the site too . And just over the field there is this super cute little fairy garden . We have recommended this site to our family and friends already and we will absolutely be booking up again . This place is just stunning and perfect for any mini breaks.

Disliked: Absolutely nothing

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch (hot tub)

Liked: 5*star site.. warm welcome on arrival , reception/shop was great and well stocked, we were shown to our pitch by Rob and he showed us how to use the hot tub ,site facilities were very good , toilets /showers very clean, on leaving the site Rob came to empty and clean the hot tub ready for the next guests ,we had a good half hr chatting , he's a great bloke,really down to earth, and was a pleasure to meet , his wife was also lovely to talk to and made you feel very welcome on arrival.
On a whole the site is definitely 1 to visit .. we will be back ...

Disliked: I can understand a charge for hiring a firepit, but don't think you should be charged if you bring your own . it states on the pitch up site that fire pits are welcome, but dosnt state there's a charge which is a bit mis leading ... ( sorry about the moan, as it's the only one I have ) keep up the good work guys

Non-electric grass tent pitch (small, two person)

Liked: Everything about this place is five star. Heated toilet and shower block, clean, warm showers. Nice touches like washing up liquid abd soaps etc that a lot of places are won’t put out.
I was chatting to the staff on the phone as my train had came in late and they were very pleasant, relaxed and informative. I came in late so they had left me out an info leaflet with my name and some instructions.

I go to campsites all the time and I this was the best I’ve been too across the board. Can’t say enough good things byt there were tons of little touches that made me smile

Disliked: Nothing, it was outstanding

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Beautiful site the pitches are large on a bit of a slope but not a problem. Take a touch this site is very dark but we really liked that and a couple of people had fire pits so it looked lovely. The toilets and showers are warm and very clean. The lady at reception is lovely very helpful and friendly if you are hungry when you arrive you can have pizza delivered to your van or we were given a menu for a Kebab takeaway which will deliver but in the end we didn't bother ha ha.

Local attractions

Sea fishing without a boat can be tried from the banks of the Solway Firth at Port Carlisle (half an hour by car); alternatively try your hand on the waters of Bassenthwaite lake, 25 minutes away. Bassenthwaite is a bumper spot for lake walks and if you're in need of fortification, there's a distillery at the northern end doing tours and tastings. If you're more of a high mountains type, paths up Skiddaw and Grisedale Pike start half an hour from the site. A real peak-bagger could rack up two national parks in a day round here; routes up Cross Fell, jewel of the North Pennines, start an hour away. Mountain bikers make for Whinlatter Forest Park (40 minutes) to hire wheels and try the UK's longest purpose-built tracks; the park's also popular with those seeking treetop thrills on the high ropes. It's a good place to test your mettle before scrambling along the via ferrata cableway at Honister Slate Mine, an hour away. For days down at lake level, you can be sailing, rowing or taking a boat cruise to the little islands on Derwentwater within half an hour; Ambleside, at the top of Lake Windermere with its steamers and watersports, is an hour's journey by car. To see some cracking coastline, it's half an hour to Bowness-on-Solway and Mayport, both good for nature-filled walks and Roman history.
