  • 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 well-maintained and clean site with great views, praised for its helpful staff and secure ANPR entry. Pitches are spacious and well-laid out, with a central play area popular with families. Pods and facilities are generally described as immaculate. Some guests noted issues with pitch levelling, limited hot water at washing stations, and the £1 charge for showers. A few reviewers felt the site was expensive for the facilities provided.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked Well set out, not over crowded, toilets and showers clean and like the little self contains shower rooms bonus for families.
Park situated in the middle so can be over looked by the majority of pitches giving peace of mind for younger children.

 Alexandra M. 1 review

Electric grass pitch

Liked The site was brilliant! All facilities are clean, tidy and looked well after.
I personally spoke to two staff and they were lovely and while noseying into the farm a male waved too. Nothing was too much.
My two kids 7& 17 both decided to change two days plans to stay in the campsite and play -which says enough really.
Everyone said they want to come back next year so its a thumbs up from us.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Lovely site, nice sized pitches but not too many that it felt too busy, the layout of the pitches around the one-way road and the children's play area works really well.
Very easy to check and and access due to the Automatic number plate recognition gate.
Facilities were perfect and clean, staff very friendly and helpful, the sale of eggs on site was nice too! Also the wifi worked!

Midi camping pod (medium, two person)

Liked Value for money. Solid fire pit and good amount of wood and fire lighters provided. Good location for doing Darwen tower walk. Shower and toilet facilities were excellent.

Disliked It wasn't immediately clear where to park your car when staying in the midi pods. Wifi could of been better.

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.
