- Family-run 10-acre farm site with woodlands just outside Blackpool
- A 25-minute drive to Blackpool Wake Park and Blackpool Zoo
- Logs available to buy; firepits and barbecues permitted; shop nearby
Everything outdoorsy runs strong at Bowses Hill Farm, a family-run dog-friendly site with the tender touch of owners George and Charlotte, two big nature and outdoors lovers. It’s certainly nature-packed here, as the 10-acre farm is in a rural patch outside of Blackpool, and it has opened up its land for like-minded, keen explorers to get back to nature within the woodlands.
You’ll be going down a privately-owned lane, tucked away… and once you're on site, there’s a nice mix of the homely and the wild. The owners want you to really appreciate nature, so an afternoon may look like wildlife spotting, den-building or searching for hidden tree drawings in the woodlands – or perhaps getting your hands dirty with some bushcraft activities or picking up wood and logs for a firepit.
The site still has cosy creature comforts though, including a smart toilet/shower block opened for the summer 2021 season. There are logs available to buy from the site so that you may get a fire or barbecue going for some wild cooking, being sure to be mindful of their location, away from other guests and disposed of correctly.
This is a wildlife haven with a peaceful stay in mind, so guests are asked to be respectful of the woodlands, leaving them unruffled, and noise levels must be kept down after 10.30pm to ensure little visitors and tired guests can get a good snooze.
Conveniently, the local shop is just five minutes’ drive away from this site, so it’s easy to get your hands on more logs or other essentials ready to get exploring.

Local attractions
You may know Blackpool for its seafront and 19th-century Central Pier (half an hour’s drive) complete with a funfair, but the attractions certainly don’t end there. You might have a hard time deciding between catapulting down waterslides in Sandcastle Waterpark (35 minutes), dropping from heights at Blackpool Pleasure Beach (35 minutes) or playing like a prisoner on the theatrical rides in the The Blackpool Tower Dungeon (half an hour).
Water ready too? Blackpool Wake Park (25 minutes) has an aqua park where you'll be able to get your bounce on. Watersports are on full throttle here too, with everything from wakeboarding to kayaking. St Annes beach (40 minutes) will keep up this spirit too, as the sandy stretch is a hotspot for windsurfing and kitesurfing (and donkey rides, in typical seaside style too).
To wind things back down, the town has a few spots for a more leisurely pace. Perhaps a tour of the enclosures in Blackpool Zoo (25 minutes), getting up and close with the wax figures at Madame Tussauds (half an hour) or seeing what life looks like underwater at SEA LIFE Blackpool (half an hour)?

Hi Stuart,
As you've stated you arrived in the dark and then left first thing in the morning, I don't think you got chance to fully explore our site and surrounding areas. it's also January so very dark, if booked directly we currently have an offer for 50% off bookings due to winter months which would of benefited you.
I don't think you got chance to see everything, We have a full children's play area made from our trees with swings and slides, plus climbing ropes. We also have a 1 acre peddle bike track for children to play on and a large selection of farm animals to interact with.
This is reflected within our pricing as we're completely different to anything in the surrounding area.
Our shower cubicles are very practical with a shelf area within the main toilet for getting ready with power sockets and a large mirror, as our site grows we can invest further for the comfort of all our guest's.
We'd love you to come back and experience our site for what it can fully offer, we hope to see you again soon.
Kind Regards
George & Charlotte - Bowses Hill Farm
