Family-friendly Yorkshire Dales farm near the Dales Way
In southern Cumbria, a mile from the centre of Sedbergh
Walk to Sedbergh for dog-friendly pubs, cafés and eateries in 15 mins

There's something mightily tempting about staying on a working Dales farm with cattle, sheep, pigs, horses and goats. Farm and Fell Campsite is a peaceful farm site in scenic southern Cumbria, just 15 minutes' walk away from Sedbergh, where guests can get stuck into a number of dog-friendly pubs, cafés and family-friendly eateries. This site is something of a geographical oddity, being located within the borders of the Yorkshire Dales but outside the boundaries of Yorkshire. The surroundings have all the smashing scenery you'd expect from this national park location, with highlights including the nearby river Rawthey, miles of dry stone walls and views over the spectacular Howgill Fells. Walkers itching to get out and explore it all have footpaths (including the Dales Way) that start almost opposite the site entrance. Every pitch at Farm and Fell Campsite has its own firepit; hardwood logs, sticks and firelighters are available to purchase between 5pm and 6pm every evening when the farmer visits or feel free to request for them to be left at your pitch for your arrival. Farm activities like lambing, calf rearing and sheep sheering may be available (to be booked separately – mention you're interested on the booking form to learn more).

Liked: The people were nice and friendly. The bar offered cheap drinks and there was lice music on the weekend we were there which was a ncie touch. There were cute animals to look at also. The toilets were clean but basic (still under construction we think).

Disliked: The mud but this couldn't be helped. They had a tractor to pull out any stuck vehicles.

Liked: A great location with beautiful views and great walks along the dales way. A short walk into the town which has plenty of pubs, restaurants and cafes. There was live music in the barn in the evening which was a good surprise and the barn as well as being somewhere to shelter, sold breakfast buns and tea and coffee, there was also a bar in the evening. Staff were super friendly and the owner offered to drop us off so we could walk back.

Disliked: The toilet block was still under construction and as a result was rather basic with no hand washing facilities, however there was also portaloos dotted around the site which did have hand sanitiser.

Liked: Very friendly attentive staff, best welcome to a campsite/working farm ever. Nothing was too much trouble, including towing us off the field due to poor weather conditions. Great experience seeing the young calf and baby lambs. Working dogs and horses. Beautiful river walks from the campsite. Excellent food and drinks.

Disliked: Nothing xx Great to see veterans working and enjoying life

From the manager: Thank you, we hope to see you again soon. Brian

Liked: Campsite was nice and well kept

Disliked: Price of the on-site food for what it was. £3 for a slice of cheap supermarket frozen pizza

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Free showers Free live music every night of the bank holiday Free use of the barn and patio heaters to dry clothing out and shelter from the rain £2 for a glass of wine £2 for a beer £6 for home cooked, Galloway Steak Casserole £8 for home cooked chicken curry No limit on rubbish disposed free Free tow for anyone who got stuck We base our menus and pricing on what our customers ask for - the options we offered obviously didn't suit you, but I hope you enjoyed the alternative options in Sedbergh town (a 5 minute walk)......as explained in your welcome pack (also free) ......quite ironic that by far the most feedback from our customers is that we should increase prices, particularly in the bar as they are disproportionately low compared to comparable campsites. Sincerely Brian

Very basic but very friendly and walking heaven

Local attractions

Guests at Farm and Fell Campsite have access to the Dales Way footpath within a few minutes' walk of base, opening up 80 miles of traffic-free trails, most of which run alongside local watercourses. Whether you head south to the Pennines or north to the Lakeland foothills, walking in this part of the world is always a very special experience. Sedbergh town centre (15 minutes' walk) is also close by, with places to stop for snacks and drinks and a couple of book shops (one of them very large) where you can pick up some holiday reading material. For more low-key local things to do, check out Farfield Mill five minutes' drive down the road, or set off on a round trip on the scenic Settle to Carlisle railway from Garsdale (20 minutes' drive). Into your sport? Try Killington Sailing Association's watersports centre (10 minutes) or the Lakeland Climbing Centre (30 minutes).
