The gentle bleat of sheep drifts across stone-walled fields as evening light gilds the fells above this working Cumbrian farm. Moorgarth sits in authentic farming country where the rhythms of rural life continue as they have for generations, the air carrying that distinctive mix of meadow grass and moorland.

This is a campsite for those seeking an unpretentious Lakes experience, away from the honeypot valleys. Perfect for campers, caravanners, and motorhomers who appreciate simplicity and don't need a roster of facilities, it offers a genuine slice of Cumbrian hill farming heritage. The location promises excellent walking country and the kind of tranquillity that comes from being slightly off the well-trodden tourist trail.

Facilities are unspecified, so arrive prepared for a back-to-basics stay on a genuine working farm. The campfire policy requires checking on arrival—always worth asking, as there's nothing quite like an evening under the stars with flames crackling in the Cumbrian twilight. Expect a no-frills, authentically rural atmosphere where the landscape does the talking.

Winds through ancient woodland past a stunning series of waterfalls including Pecca Falls and Thornton Force. Steep steps, uneven paths and rocky sections make this challenging for buggies and young children, though school-age kids usually manage fine with steady pace. Dogs welcome on leads. The route follows River Twiss upstream then returns via River Doe - spectacular in any weather but truly magnificent after rainfall. Wear sturdy footwear as paths can be slippery.
