  • Peaceful back to basics site on a working Lancashire farm
  • On the edge of Belthorn village; short walk from pubs and a farm shop
  • Gorgeous views and plenty of local walks; dogs welcome on site
Fabulous rural views, stunning sunsets and tons of fresh air… it’s all about the simple pleasures of life at Greystones Farm - Pendle View. Settle in at this small farm site and you’ll be in for a real rural experience, bedding down between fields of sheep and cows and looking out over miles of lovely Lancashire countryside. Based on open farm field at the top of Belthorn, one of the highest villages in Lancashire (approximately 300 metres above sea level), there are views for miles. Given the location, the site recommends you come prepared for all weather conditions. It’s a back to basics setup here, almost wild camping. There are very few facilities, with just a portable toilet, just how many people like it. You’ll be able to organise your pitch as you like though, parking your car there for maximum convenience and lighting a barbecue or campfire for keeping warm and/or cooking dinner. Dogs are welcome to join you for stays here, too, and there are plenty of nearby footpaths and bridleways where they can have a good walk (as can human guests, of course…) Although the views here are very much full-on countryside, it’s handy to note that the farm is in fact on the edge of the aforementioned village of Belthorn, a small and friendly place with a farm shop and a couple of pubs and restaurants for those times when you fancy eating out (or the weather dictates an indoor evening…) There’s also a bus stop in the village with services heading into Blackburn (15 minutes’ drive away) for more extensive shopping and eating options.

David N.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Nice chill vibe, lots of families just having a good time.
Dog friendly, we didn't bring our puppy but nice to see lots of dogs and there was very little dog waste all considered.
Site was tidy, free of any litter.
Selection of BBQs and fire pits to borrow.
Toilet was clean, had loo rolls and never much of a queue.
Amazing views, with binoculars we could see Blackpool Tower and the Lake district and visibility wasn't even that great.
Good communication from the owner, reasonably priced.

Disliked Field is on a hill so have to scout around for a level-ish pitch.
Noisy traffic near the road at one end, noisy party tents near the other. Quiet campers need to choose one or the other. We went with the road. Some jokers think it's funny to blast their horns driving past at 6am, jokes on them because I'm up with the birds.
It's minimalist in terms of facilities but we knew that going in so wasn't a problem.
We had good weather but it is an exposed location.

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked Stunning views across to Pendle hill and could even see across to the coast (think it was morcambe bay!) was pretty busy on the field for the night but stayed quiet overnight. only 1 portaloo so did have to queue a few times with there being so many camping there was clean enough though. Ate in the pub the dog inn lovely meal 2 steaks and a bottle of wine for £45 can’t complain was cooked perfect too.

Disliked Queuing for the portaloo

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked A nice back to basics campsite, a natural field with a ( very clean ) portaloo, 3 recycling wheelie bins and a selection of bbq/fire pits to borrow.
Filed itself was very clean, loads of space to find a flat / sheltered spot.

I would recommend checking the location on Google maps re roads / local amenities etc. I did, and was more than happy with my stay hence my 10/10 review.

Liked Great location

Disliked Long grass

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for your feedback. Please note, we are a working farm and the grass is slightly longer than normal as it’s one of our hay making meadows. Once the grass is long enough, it will be cut and made into hay bales ready to feed our animals through the winter.

We have mown a small section of the grass as you enter the field (should be big enough for 4 pitches) for our campers that would prefer to pitch up on the shorter grass.

We hope you enjoyed your stay with us!

Very large field site,pitch where you…

Local attractions

Getting out for a walk or a bike ride is often the prime activity that draws people to this part of the world – and there are plenty of great places to do either, including Pendle Hill (half an hour’s drive), Witton Country Park (15 minutes) or Brockholes nature reserve (20 minutes). There’s also the option of heading north into the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (half an hour) for a longer hike if you like. Mixing in a bit of history and culture should be easy enough too – perhaps a tour of the Tiffany glass collection at Haworth Art Gallery (15 minutes), a trip to see the black and white design of Samlesbury Hall (20 minutes) or a wander around the grand National Trust - Gawthorpe Hall (20 minutes). If the kids are keen to see more animals, take them along to meet pigs, feed lambs and walk with wallabies at Mrs Dowsons Farm Park (20 minutes) or set off to see a flying demonstration at the Owl & Bird of Prey Sanctuary (25 minutes). Meanwhile, if you’re on a grownup break, you may prefer to sort a gin experience at Brindle Distillery (15 minutes).
