The light off Morecambe Bay reaches Glen Tarn long and low in the evenings, turning the Lancashire sky soft pink over the static vans and touring pitches.

This is a straightforward caravan park near Lancaster — tourers and campervans welcome, no mention of tent pitches. It sits in Lancaster district, handy for the coast and the southern edge of the Lake District if you're touring through. Dog owners should ask ahead about the policy, and if you're hoping for a campfire evening, check when you arrive — it's not a given here.

Facilities aren't listed in detail, so ring ahead if you need specifics about electric hookups, toilets, or showers. The vibe seems low-key and functional rather than full-on holiday park — a practical overnight or base for exploring Lancaster, the Bay, or heading north into Cumbria. Don't expect bells and whistles; do expect a no-fuss pitch for your van and a quiet night.

Wyre Way (Tarnbrook Loop)

Loops through the rugged Forest of Bowland countryside near Tarnbrook, with moderate climbs over moorland and farmland tracks. Terrain can be uneven and muddy, making it challenging for buggies and young children—better suited to older kids comfortable with longer walks. Dogs welcome but should be under close control near livestock. Rewards you with sweeping Pennine views and a real sense of remote Lancashire hill country, well off the typical tourist trail.
