  • Basic pop-up site 10 minutes’ drive from Grange-over-Sands in Cumbria
  • Cartmel and the racecourse 10 minutes’ drive; Windermere 20 minutes
  • Medieval tower, vintage tractors and a café serving good food all day
Proving that it is quite possible to get away from the crowds when staying in the Lake District, Wraysholme Creamery is a peaceful and no-frills pop-up site 10 minutes’ from Grange-over-Sands in Cumbria. It may not be in the centre of the national park, but it’s still only 20 minutes’ drive to Windermere and 40 minutes to Coniston Water, so you can easily spend time exploring the Lakes – and there are plenty of walking and cycling options right from your pitch. Otherwise, there’s a fair amount to see and do at this site on a working dairy farm – and one with its own medieval tower at that. Petrolheads may want to have a nose around the vintage tractors, carriages and engines in the barn, and there’s a bike night every second Thursday over summer. You’ll doubtless encounter the livestock too, with cows and calves grazing in neighbouring fields, so you can experience farm life firsthand. Talking of fields, the camping meadow is nicely level, and although facilities stretch no further than portable loos, there is an on-site café with all-day offerings from that all-important morning coffee to delicious filled wraps and home-baked cheesecake, as well as ice cream and other dairy products that have been made on site.

Local attractions

Any adventure-sports addicts among you can get your thrills sky-diving over lakeland countryside at Skydive Northwest (five minutes’ drive), while anyone who prefers to stay on solid ground amble around the pretty village of Cartmel (10 minutes), which straddles the cutely named Clogger Beck. As well as the medieval priory, there is a brewery to tour and traditional pubs to discover – and for all you horseracing fans, there’s a full summer schedule at the racecourse (also 10 minutes). Next stop could be Holker Hall and Gardens (five minutes, open Wednesday to Sunday), a truly splendid estate with a vast Gothic Revival-era mansion and manicured gardens to explore. There are more gardens – these filled with tropical palms and overlooking Morecambe Bay – at coastal Yewbarrow House and Gardens (10 minutes). Often overlooked in the headlong rush not to the Lakes, Grange-over-Sands (five minutes) also has Morecambe Bay as well as lots to recommend it for a day trip. It has a certain Victorian elegance, with ornamental gardens and a long seaside promenade, as well as bags of fun – crazy golf, playgrounds and a skate park – for the kids.
