General
- Family-friendly 200-acre Yorkshire Dales farm near the Dales Way
- in southern Cumbria, a mile from the centre of Sedbergh
- Hot meals and barbecue packs available; farm activities for guests
Farm and Fell Campsite thinks that every guest has the makings of a fine farmer, so get involved with hands-on agricultural activities at this peaceful farm park on the outskirts of Sedbergh and unleash your inner Dalesman or Daleswoman in scenic southern Cumbria.
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.
Farm and Fell Campsite has a dedicated on-site kitchen (available when there are 10 or more pitches on site) open for breakfast, lunch and evening meals, where you can sample a wide variety of farm-produced food. At all other times, the site will happily drop you off and pick you up in Sedbergh, where there's great local hospitality.
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).
The site also has mains water, toilets, hot showers and a waste disposal point.
Open from 04/06/2023 to 08/31/2023

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).

This isn’t true. No one was ever told that the portaloos would be emptied every 4 hours.
All campers were notified well in advance that the portaloos were on site and the porcelain loos were unserviceable.
Everyone was offered a free cancellation or rebook.
As it happens, out portaloo supplier was on holiday so I cleaned out the toilets all weekend (every day).
They were never disgusting, in fact of the 15 portaloos on site, only 3 needed a deep clean all bank holiday weekend.
Regarding wood, I don’t think this person knows the difference between soft wood and hard wood. We supply hard wood, kindling and firelighters for £8.
We also supply the fire pits at no cost….. not to mention free shower, animal feeding for children for £1 (donated to charity).
I welcome feedback, but this review isn’t right.
