The stone barn catches the low sun across open fields, with the Howgill Fells rising purple-grey beyond the dry-stone walls and the distant bleat of sheep drifting down on the wind.

This is proper Cumbrian farming country, tucked between the Lakes and the Dales, and Drybeck Farm welcomes tents, campervans and caravans onto pitches that feel genuinely rural without being remote. It suits walkers tackling the Howgills, families wanting space and fell views without the National Park crowds, and anyone who prefers a working farm atmosphere to manicured rows. The village of Orton is close enough for supplies, and you're well placed for both Kendal and the western Dales.

You'll find toilets and showers onsite, and the setup is straightforward rather than fancy — this is a farm first, campsite second. Check about campfires when you arrive, as policy can shift with the season and ground conditions. Expect a quiet, unpretentious stay with big skies and proper hillwalking on the doorstep.

King Charles III England Coast Path: Gretna to Allonby

National Trails logoNational Trails

Follows the Solway Firth coastline through salt marshes, sandy beaches and low clifftops – mostly flat with gentle gradients, making it manageable for fit families though not buggy-friendly due to rougher coastal paths and potential mud. Dogs welcome on leads near wildlife areas. Offers stunning views across the estuary to Scotland, abundant birdlife including waders and wildfowl, and a sense of remote coastal wilderness with minimal development along this spectacular border shoreline.

Hadrian's Wall Path

National Trails logoNational Trails

Stretches 84 miles coast-to-coast from Wallsend to Bowness-on-Solway, following England's most dramatic Roman monument across Northumberland's rugged countryside. Terrain varies from gentle riverside paths to challenging climbs over exposed crags and moorland—the central section crosses steep, windswept ridges unsuitable for buggies or young children. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Worth tackling for spectacular views, Roman forts, and that deep sense of walking through ancient history al

Cumbria Way

Stretches 73 miles from Ulverston to Carlisle through the Lake District's quieter valleys and fells, tackling moderate climbs with some steep sections around Derwentwater and Skiddaw. Not suitable for buggies or young children due to length, stiles, and rough terrain, though individual day sections could work for older kids. Dogs welcome but must be on leads near livestock. Rewards walkers with classic Lakeland scenery—woodlands, tarns, and panoramic fell views—while avoiding the National Park's
