Add your business details- Small, dog-friendly lakeside pitches on a Cumbria farm
- Half an hour’s drive from Windermere; 25 minutes from Sedbergh
- On-site tearoom and farm shop open Thursday-Sunday
Whether you're planning to wander around Windermere or stretch your legs exploring the Yorkshire Dales, it's a fine idea to spend a night (or several) on the lakeside pitches at Kitridding Lake. Having a base by the lake with parking available next to the pitches is very handy indeed – as is the central Cumbria location…
Look to the Lake District for fells, lakes, Beatrix Potter attractions, historical sites and hikes of all sorts – Windermere is half an hour’s drive away from Kitridding Lake. That’s to the west. To the east, things are just as spectacular, with the Yorkshire Dales National Park’s hills, waterfalls and walks, cafés, pubs and shops around Sedbergh within 25 minutes’ drive of the site.
Dogs are happily accommodated at this central Cumbria getaway too. The facilities – not for the furry kind, but the humans – include portable toilets, running spring water and easy access to parking on the pitches from the hard-surfaced road that circles the entire lake.
The on-site farm shop and tearoom open their doors Thursday to Sunday from 9.30am to 4pm, so guests can get their paws on home-reared meat, handmade sausages and burgers, homemade pies and other locally-sourced foodie treats, as well as other products and gifts.
The tearoom’s recipes are all about showcasing the farm’s products through weekly specials and a selection of takeaway food (top picks include the Kitridding breakfast and Sunday dinners).
When you’re out and about instead, Kirkby Lonsdale has pubs, cafés and shops 10 minutes’ drive away. The larger market town of Kendal (25 minutes’ drive) has all the typical high street shops, supermarkets and restaurants too. As for the closest pub, that’s in Lupton, 10 minutes’ drive away.

Local attractions
Northwest to Windermere: when you set off in that direction, you might want to alight on the arts and crafts house of Blackwell (35 minutes’ drive), the busy town of Bowness-on-Windermere (35 minutes) with The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction or take a little wander around the Victorian country park of Fell Foot (half a hour) at the south of the lake.
In the opposite direction – eastwards -–the Yorkshire Dales has an attractive selection of trails. There’s the Ingleton Waterfalls Trail (20 minutes), which runs for four and a half miles around stunning waterfalls, or the climb up to Ingleborough (25 minutes) mountain, to begin with.
Those wanting to be wowed can go and take a look at the huge Ribblehead Viaduct (half an hour), with its impressive 24 arches, or perhaps Sizergh (20 minutes), a National Trust site with a medieval house and estate.
