  • Small quiet site set on a working farm in the Western Lake District
  • Close to mountain and coastal walks
  • Near the Hawk & Owl Centre at Muncaster
Come to Cumblands Farm Caravan Site in the western Lake District to be close to mountain and coastal walks, cycling and long days exploring the surrounds before evenings chilling out among smashing sunsets and the sounds of local birds… (And if birds are your bag, you might like to flit to the nearby Hawk & Owl Centre at Muncaster.) As might be expected around the Lake District, these are fab views around Cumblands Farm and the vibe is one of simple countryside serenity; this is a small and very friendly site on a working farm and just the ticket for soothing hols. It's about a mile's walk via the nearby beach to the local village of Ravenglass. Cumblands Farm has charging facilities, chemical disposal and a small shower and loo block with plenty of hot water. And as might be hoped in a region with walkies all around, this is a dog-friendly place – look out for the friendly farm dogs while you're there.

What customers say

This little farm stay's a ripper for peace and views, with a legend of an owner and farm critters. Spacious sites, basic but tidy facilities (could use a spruce-up). Great spot for walks, though an electricity pylon and no dishwashing station were noted.

Powered grass caravan site

Liked Beautiful scenery , location was brilliant for a short walk into Ravenglass.
Farmer was very friendly & informative.
Will definitely return.

Disliked There is a pylon near where we pitched but obviously we knew about it before we booked , it didn't spoil it for us because the scenery is so nice we ignored it tbh.

Helen S.

Powered grass caravan site

Liked Vicinity to Ravenglass is great, it is only a short walk to the quaint little village with pubs. Camping is in a field amongst the animals and the cows are rather friendly, very calm and quiet. 2 toilets and showers.
Totally amazing views.
Only small with 5 pitches. Left to own devices. I would recommend as I like the remote aspect and simplicity, but it wouldn't be for everyone. It is back to basics camping

Disliked Very close to electricity cables and pylon overhead.
Toilets and showers are in a small shed, and are very basic. They were very messy with water everywhere when we used them, but this is not the fault of the owner but other campers which is a shame they cannot respect the facilities.

Orchard unpowered grass tent site (no pets)

Liked We really enjoyed the quiet, peaceful nature of the site, which not only has views of the mountains and but is also just a short walk away from the coast. The owners were very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The bathroom was clean and drinking water was available on-site.

Route directions

Please note that satnavs can take unusual routes, so it's best to follow these instructions. From the A595, take the turning signed Saltcoates. Continue down the road, past a farm on your right. Slow down as you approach the blind bend. As you come out of the bend there is a farm track on your left: this is the entrance to Cumblands Farm. Drive up the lane and follow the road around the boundary of the garden to the site.

Local attractions

Lakes, mountains, beaches and miles of walking paths and cycling trails are all within a short distance of Cumblands Farm Caravan Site, as well as heritage highlights like Muncaster Castle and the ruins of the Roman fort near Hardknott. Whitehaven harbour is a short drive away. The local village of Ravenglass (the only coastal settlement in the whole of the Lake District National Park) was occupied by toga types in the second century when it was used as a vital Roman naval base; the remains of the Roman baths form one of the biggest remaining Roman structures in England. Ravenglass is also the starting point for the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway running the seven miles to Dalegarth in the Eskdale valley and passing the Hardknott Roman fort, the Boot and Muncaster watermills and Muncaster Castle. If you reckon your legs can stand it, hike up nearby Hardknott Pass, one of the two steepest paths in all of England (the other is Rosedale Chimney Bank in North Yorkshire) for views of the Isle of Man and access to the also fairly tough terrain of Wrynose Pass which leads to the Three Shire Stone where the historic counties of Cumberland, Lancashire and Westmorland meet. Viking artefacts including the tallest and oldest Viking cross in England are at the nearby village of Gosforth four miles away.
