  • 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.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked The toilet and showers were excellent. Individual wet rooms with toilets. Very modern and extremely clean. The site itself was very well set out and tidy. It is situated on a lake for fly fishing. Very quiet and serene. There is a tea rooms and a garden nursery which appeared to be well frequented.

Disliked There was nothing to dislike.

Only a small thing but the post code in the sat nav took us to the Crooklands Hotel. We then asked in the Hotel for directions.

Very nice site with well maintained pitches and new facilities

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Lovely campsite, facilities were very clean and campsite was well maintained.
There is a lovely cafe on site and plant nursery open Thursday to Sunday. Food was very tasty there. They offer light bites (sausage rolls, scones, soup, etc)
Toilets are individual wet rooms. They are very nice.

Disliked The shower temperature cannot be adjusted if you don’t like a very warm shower. It was almost in the too hot side for my daughter. As the bathrooms are wet room style after someone has a shower the whole room is covered in water if they don’t clean up after themselves properly.

Local attractions

It’s hard to know what to do first when you’re staying at Farletonview, as there’s a whole raft of options within 10 minutes’ drive of the site. For those of you who like to have a nose around old houses, Levens Hall is a statuesque Elizabethan mansion with spectacular knot gardens and walks through parkland, and National Trust-owned Sizergh is a 14th-century castle with period furniture in sumptuous wood-panelled rooms. You can be walking and cycling in the Lake District National Park in 10 minutes’s drive too, as well as going quad biking at the Outdoor Adventure Company or shooting clay pigeons at Crabtree Clay Shoot you fancy a bit more action. 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).
