  • Well-kept touring site 10 minutes’ drive from Milnthorpe in Cumbria
  • Lake District National Park and Sizergh Castle both 10 minutes’ drive
  • Fly fishery, café and modern showers five minutes’ drive from the M6
Farletonview is a family-run site on a diversified farm surrounded by spectacular Cumbrian countryside; every hardstanding tourer pitch has glorious views over Farleton Knott and the fells, yet you’re an easy 10 minutes’ drive from shops and services in Milnthorpe. Farletonview is handy for exploring North Lancashire and Cumbria, while both the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales national parks are easy to get to as the site is only about five minutes’ drive from Junction 36 of the M6. If you’d prefer to abandon the car while on site, it’s 20 minutes’ walk to the nearest bus stop for Kendal or Kirkby Lonsdale. After a busy day out and about, you can refuel on tasty homemade soup, sausage rolls and cakes in the tearoom; alternatively it’s 20 minutes’ walk to the local pub for bar snacks and meals. You have a good choice of inns and takeaways within 10 minutes’ drive as well. There’s no reason to stray too far from your pitch if you don’t feel like it though. Angling folk will be hard to budge from the fly-fishing lake, which operates on a catch-and-release with permits available on site – and if you’re looking for unusual souvenirs of your Cumbria stay, stock up on cottage-garden perennials at the plant nursery. Practical amenities on site include showers, a washing-up station and waste and grey water disposal.

What customers say

Super clean, peaceful site with great facilities. Friendly staff and handy cafe. Good Lakes/Yorkshire base. Occasional road noise and showers could be cooler for some.

Lorraine G.

Fully-serviced concrete slab caravan site

Liked Everything
The toilet and shower block was 1st rate, unisex but very discreet. Cubicles where you can lock yourself away for a shower, with toilet and sink, heated towel rail, decorated beautifully and spotless.
The tea rooms was a welcoming treat and a little nursery to buy some lovely plants. The owners and everyone on site was very welcoming, we cant wait for our next trip there. And if you like fly fishing, there is also a lovely lake on site. Thankyou for a wonderful stay

Disliked My only grouch was, the grass at the side of our pitch where you put the awning or sit, was very uneven.
And my hubby likes to fish, but couldn't has its only fly fishing of which he doesn't do.

Keith M.

Powered concrete slab caravan site

Liked We liked every minute of our stay, from the fantastic greeting on our arrival, to the no fuss peaceful and stress busting break. The pitch was immaculate with electricity and water close by. For anyone with a disability, this site is perfect, wide open space with low cut grass. No steps or obstacles. The showers are of a wet room style, in individual rooms, on one level with no cubical to contend with. Farletonview’s tearoom, has food available if you want breakfast cooked for you, or even a lunch. The location is easily accessible from the motorway and close reach to the Lake District, averaging about 30 minutes to Windermere.

Disliked Didn’t stay long enough!

Powered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Everything! The site was easy to find and easy to access, the owners were really friendly and helpful, the views of the lake from our pitch were lovely and we had a really good sized pitch with electric hookup.
I was pleased there was an extra toilet block next to our pitch, as opposed to having to walk to the main block each time. The facilities were always clean and well stocked with toilet roll.

Disliked The only comment I have is that the water in the showers is a bit too hot and can't be adjusted, I did pass this comment onto the owners.

Liked Lovely site, well kept and peaceful. Very friendly hosts. Easy walk to the bus stop and nearest pub ( the top of the steps to the canal are very well hidden 😂). Shower and toilet were amazing! And the mars tray bake was pretty good too 😋

Only slightly further away is the popular hill walk up Arnside Knott (15 minutes) for views over the Irish Sea. Not quite what you’re after? Get out on the water with a boat cruise around Lake Windermere (20 minutes), have a flutter on the horses at Cartmel Racecourse (25 minutes), or slip over the county lines for a foray up to stunning Hardraw Force waterfall (45 minutes) in the Yorkshire Dales National Park (20 minutes).
