  • Small motorhome site with uninterrupted views over the Duddon Estuary
  • A 15-minute drive from Black Combe; 35 minutes from Coniston Water
  • A mile from Millom's town centre, shops and railway station
Sitting on the shores of the pretty Duddon Estuary, Estuary View Escapes is a simple but scenic motorhome site that's low in frills but big on views. Located at the old shipping quay known as Millom Pier and surrounded by Cumbrian countryside, the site has far-ranging vistas over ever-changing sands and tides, while turning around opens up views over the hills and fells of the southern Lake District. This laidback site has just a small number of hardstanding pitches for touring vehicles and welcomes couples, families and well-behaved dogs. Barbecues are allowed here, and there are picnic tables down near the water's edge where you can tuck into a scenic meal in the evening. There are few facilities at this small-scale space, but there is a handy chemical disposal point for guests to use. A mile away from site, Millom town centre has a good range of restaurants, food shops, takeaways and bars. Handily, there's also a railway station if you fancy exploring this part of the Cumbrian coastline by train. The nearest pub, The Devonshire, can be reached from base in about 10 to 15 minutes on foot.

Liked Absolutely a fabulous location with loads of history, owners full of happiness and very easy to talk to, information well presented, local beach amazing and walks around the peninsula to Havenrigg via Hodbarrow Point a must.

Liked What an amazing gem, the views are breathtakingly beautiful and the beach is a few mins walk away, perfect for dog walks.
The owners Louise and her husband are very kind and on hand if needed if not they leave you to enjoy your stay.
Facilities are what’s needed if you have a camper or motorhome. Pitches a great size.
In my top ten of breath taking views on a campsite! Would definitely return.

Liked Right from our arrival felt very welcome. Louise was so friendly and provided lots of detail and information about the area. Site was well laid out - very quiet and very clean. Had booked for 3 nights but stayed for 6 - it rained a lot during the week but the scenery was amazing and we loved it all. It was the best wet weather holiday we’ve ever had - fantastic. Louise and Lea were the best and if you prefer a quiet site you should give this one a go.

Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Local attractions

The surrounding area has lots to keep visitors to this part of the world entertained, from peaceful pursuits like walking and birdwatching to more energetic activities like sailing, paddling and other watersports. Starting locally, you might like to visit Millom's beach, sea wall and interesting lighthouse, all of which are about a mile away from base – and if you like fishing, you can also cast your line straight from the quay. For a change of scene, there's another pleasant beach at Silecroft (15 minutes' drive). Drive for a quarter of an hour inland and you'll reach the Black Combe trailhead, the start of a two-hour walk up one of Cumbria's most impressive mountains. On a sunny day, you can take in 360-degree views from the summit, with vistas that can stretch all the way to the Isle of Man and the Mull of Galloway over the water in Scotland. Estuary View Escapes is well within reach of other Lakeland favourites, including Coniston Water (35 minutes) for watersports and boating as well as the steam heritage line operated by the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway (30 minutes).
