Powered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked: There is a lot of space around the site, with well maintained fields. The views from the tent are great and there were so many different species of birds around. We liked how the footpath to the road by the river was being developed with benches and trees etc. As ex farmers it was also interesting to use the old buildings. Showers etc spotless, with constant hot water and plenty of soap, loo rolls etc.. The kettle and toaster is a great idea and the shop too. We appreciated the opportunity to eat either at tables in the yard or inside the buildings. We didn't light a fire, but it was useful to be able to order fuel and a kit. There is lots for children to do - some excellent playground equipment and the site is safe as vehicles are not allowed once your tent is up. Robert and Julie were welcoming and helpful - thank you so much for lending us a spare set of tent pegs as we had forgotten ours!! We'd like to try the Tepees.

Disliked: Maybe rubbish could be sorted for recycling?

Local attractions

Heavenly Eden Valley walks are right on the doorstep from Mains Farm Camping and Caravan Site, from ambles to (the pubs at) Lazonby, to a hike along the River Eden to see Lacy's Caves... and then on to Little Salkeld and the Bronze Age stone circle of Long Meg and her Daughters. Ramble to the north of Little Salkeld to see the Eden Lacy Viaduct over the River Eden, one of a couple of dozen viaducts on the 72-mile journey of the Carlisle to Settle Railway (jump on at Lazonby and Kirkoswald railway station to puff north west to Carlisle or south to Settle). Going north for the day – actually, allow at least two – Hadrian’s Wall and the Scottish border are around 40 minutes’ drive away.
