The morning mist lifts off the Westmorland hills, and you're parked among oak trees with nothing but birdsong and the distant bleat of Herdwick sheep for company.
This is a straightforward spot for tourers and motorhomes in the Strickland area — the quiet, less-trampled corner of the Lake District where stone villages and rolling farmland give way to proper fells. It's a good choice for couples touring the southern lakes or anyone who prefers a bit of breathing room over crowded honeypots. Dog owners should check the policy on arrival, but this is prime walking country with bridleways threading through the woodland park itself.
Facilities aren't detailed, so ring ahead to confirm what's on offer — expect the essentials rather than bells and whistles. Campfires may be allowed depending on conditions, but ask when you arrive rather than assuming. The vibe is peaceful and low-key, the kind of place where you settle in with a book, plan tomorrow's walk to Kendal or Windermere, and let the day unfold at its own pace.
