Sandfold Pop-up Camping

Brought the kids? After riding the rails for a while at Millerbeck Light Railway (a few minutes' drive or walk), you can take them to inspect the historic vehicles at the Lakeland Motor Museum (five minutes' drive), or alternatively, for a really special treat, to see the exotic animals and birds on show at the popular South Lakes Safari Zoo (20 minutes). If your travel team is of an energetic persuasion, you might appreciate an exhilarating treetop adventure at Go Ape Grizedale (20 minutes) or watersports whizzing around the lake at Fell Foot Park (10 minutes' walk). For more gentle exercise, take a stroll round the paths of Chapel House Wood (20 minutes' walk) or amble around Kendal (20 minutes) and its independent shops and eateries. Further afield, you can visit Ambleside (35 minutes) with its Roman fort and poetic connections, natural wonders like Stock Ghyll Force waterfall (40 minutes) or the historic city of Lancaster with its castle and cathedral (30 minutes).
