  • Quiet hillside farm site in west Cumbria with views to the sea
  • Coast, lakes, hill walks and mountain biking within 40 minutes' drive
  • Around five minutes' drive to Caldbeck for pub, cafés and shop
Blecogo… Red Dial… Theckthwaite Beck… There are some fine place names in this part of Cumbria and some fine spots to stop in, too. Wallace Lane Farm can't compete in the intriguing name stakes but it's certainly a winner on the fine spot front. The views from this farm are spectacular: the Irish Sea, the Solway Firth, the first of the Galloway hills. Whatever you're looking at, and whichever parts of this fab area you're visiting, you'll likely appreciate the laundry and drying room as well as the hot showers in the heated washrooms. And at the end of your day of exploring, you can sit round a campfire or grill your bangers on a barbecue – both are welcome and there are two washing-up areas for pots and pans. It's just over five minutes' drive from the farm to Caldbeck, which has a pub with food and two cafés as well as a shop for supplies. Perhaps you could pick up a picnic and wander through the village along the banks of the Caldew river? If you're into fishing, day permits are available on many of the rivers and streams of the surrounding area; the Wampool, Waver and Ellen are favourites for those seeking trout and salmon.

Highly recommended, super clean site with roomy spots, great views, and welcoming staff. Well-kept facilities, including popular hot tubs and a good shop. Peaceful vibes, dog walks, and a handy location. Some Wi-Fi and noise gripes, but overall awesome – many are coming back!

Wendy P.

FHU cement/asphalt campsite (hot tub, deluxe, Private restroom amenities)

Liked Perfect stay for New Year. We couldn’t have asked for more. Well maybe the pub a little bit walking distance!

Hot tub clean, kitchen/bathroom area immaculate and heating and water was both amazingly warm.

Site was a little out of area as we don’t hook up again once situated, but the views were amazing.

Small shop but seemed to have a lot of essentials.

Staff really helpful.

Totally relaxing after a busy Christmas period.

Ethan W.

Primitive grass tent campsite (two person, small)

Liked Polite staff good clean facilities and easy to navigate around site.

Disliked We had been given a pitch on site which was pitch 29 this is located right next to a rooster pen and it kept us awake from 3am until 8am and as we were in a tent box it was very loud.

We had trouble with our car and the owner Rob let us borrow his battery jumper for the rest of our trip so we didn't have to miss anything.

Katie S.

FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite (hot tub)

Liked Everything was wonderful! It’s a gorgeous, family-run and family-friendly site. Our hard-standing pitch with a hot tub was perfect. The fields are beautiful, the alpacas are friendly and love a cuddle and the staff couldn’t have been more welcoming. The kids adored the magical fairy glen and the streams made the whole place feel so peaceful. We’ll definitely be staying here again!

Disliked Nothing to dislike here!

Local attractions

Sea fishing without a boat can be tried from the banks of the Solway Firth at Port Carlisle (half an hour by car); alternatively try your hand on the waters of Bassenthwaite lake, 25 minutes away. Bassenthwaite is a bumper spot for lake walks and if you're in need of fortification, there's a distillery at the northern end doing tours and tastings. If you're more of a high mountains type, paths up Skiddaw and Grisedale Pike start half an hour from the site. A real peak-bagger could rack up two national parks in a day round here; routes up Cross Fell, jewel of the North Pennines, start an hour away. Mountain bikers make for Whinlatter Forest Park (40 minutes) to hire wheels and try the UK's longest purpose-built tracks; the park's also popular with those seeking treetop thrills on the high ropes. It's a good place to test your mettle before scrambling along the via ferrata cableway at Honister Slate Mine, an hour away. For days down at lake level, you can be sailing, rowing or taking a boat cruise to the little islands on Derwentwater within half an hour; Ambleside, at the top of Lake Windermere with its steamers and watersports, is an hour's journey by car. To see some cracking coastline, it's half an hour to Bowness-on-Solway and Mayport, both good for nature-filled walks and Roman history.
