  • Working farm site in rural Lancashire, with 63 acres and lovely views
  • A 10-minute drive to Blackburn; 40 minutes to Blackpool
  • Friendly atmosphere with play area and easy access to main roads
With 63 acres of farmland to its name and gorgeous views in all directions, Brocklehead Farm is an enticing prospect for people looking for a peaceful and scenic rural Lancashire spot that’s also handy for the amenities of everyday life. Settle in at this working farm and you’ll have views out towards the hills and mountains of the Lake District, Yorkshire and North Wales – on a clear day you’ll even be able to spot Blackpool in the distance. It’s got all the hallmarks of a classic countryside destination (including wildlife and farm animals) so it might be difficult to believe that Darwen’s only five minutes’ drive away and Blackburn about 10 minutes away. That location comes in handy not only for putting things like pubs, restaurants and shops within easy reach, but also for straightforward access to the local main roads for days out around town and country. You can get to Manchester or Liverpool with a drive of less than an hour from here, head to Blackpool for a day at the beach, or set your sights on exploring the Forest of Bowland and the Yorkshire Dales (or a bit of all of the above…). Heaton Park is also just a 40-minute drive away. Meanwhile, a friendly community atmosphere reigns back at the farm – the owners live on site and are on hand to make sure everything is as it should be for enjoyable holidays. That setup includes providing a play area, easy parking places and a large shower block that’s got individual cubicles with a shower, basin and toilet. Dogs are welcome too, so you can bring your furry family member along on your break.

What customers say

This is a clean, well-maintained, and peaceful campsite with lovely views. It is well-suited for families, with a central park easily visible from pitches. Facilities, including showers and toilets, are generally reported as clean, though some suggest an update. The ANPR gate system provides good security. Mini-pods are considered by some to be pricey. Some guests experienced issues with hot water pressure and temperature in showers, and the £1 charge for showers was noted.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked In the main, this is a peaceful site, great facilities and pitches. The views are very open and give this site a tranquil feeling.
A nice welcoming pub within a 15 minute walk which serves great food and a few good ales.

Disliked Not much to dislike but the signage from the main road needs to be a bit more noticeable.

Mini camping pod (two person)

Liked Lovely site out of the way with great views.
Stayed for 3 nights in a mini pod at a cost of £50 per night. The pods are very basic as described on the website & can only be described as a wooden 2 man tent. A mattress & 2 interior lights with usb sockets powered by a solar panel on the roof. No 3 pin sockets, that's it.
• The pods are very cozy & the owners supply a net bag of logs for the fire pit outside the pod. There is no parking next to the pod but an area to park just at the rear next to the shower block. I would suggest bringing extra storage to put supply's in like camping stove, kettle, pots & pans. but where you would put this is beyond me.
• The site is well maintained, has larger pods which I would suggest paying the extra for & has plenty touring pitches.
• The shower block is clean with 2 toilets & 2 showers with plenty of hot water, shaving sockets but no 3 pin plugs. They are clean but could do with being updated.
• You don't see anything of the owners as it is a busy farm, but it would be nice if they took some time to pop around the site to see if everything was alright as there is plenty of rules & regulations to stick to.
• The weekend we stayed there was a large family group who had lots of kids running around while the parents entertained themselves on a karaoke they brought with them. This was promptly halted at 10pm by the owners shouting over the fence to turn it down.
• Would I stay again? For £50 a night I don't think the mini pods are value for the money but would consider the larger pods.

Disliked Shower block was cold & could do with 3 pin sockets for hairdryer. Mini pods a bit pricey for what they are.

Midi camping pod (medium, two person)

Liked Great site great little pod/lodge my daughter loved it apart from the weather. The auto number plate is a great thing to have on a site knowing you can leave and come back without having to bother anybody or get out to open the gate if it's raining.

Disliked The hot water for washing the pots/dishes I couldn't get any decent water pressure out of it. The play area could also do with some anti slip paint on it my daughter sipped a few times on it when it was only slightly wet.

Loved this place, would highly recommend and will be back

Local attractions

Fancy stretching your legs? The Turton and Entwistle Reservoir (10 minutes’ drive) is probably the closest place for a walk in the woods, or you could head a little further afield for the many trails of the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (35 minutes) or venture into the Yorkshire Dales from Skipton (45 minutes). Sticking to the outdoor attractions, you could also meet the animals at Smithills Open Farm or the Owl & Bird of Prey Sanctuary, admire the Singing Ringing Tree art installation or stroll around the Victorian gardens of Astley Hall (all about 20 minutes away). And of course there’s always the option of some sandy time at Blackpool beach (40 minutes)… For a bit of urban scenery, take a trip to Blackburn (10 minutes) for the museum, cathedral and ice arena, or set off for Manchester (45 minutes) and the Imperial War Museum North, National Football Museum and plenty of places to eat, drink and make merry.
