This park is good for walkers passing through the Lake District. For longer stays, it's ok if you like it busy with people, not suitable if you like it quiet and peaceful. The host are lovely and the toilets, showers and washing up area were immaculate, plenty of hot water too.

Things to do on site and in the Wigton area
This base is great for walkers with a woodland walk and the Caldbeck village to explore. The northern Lake District area is full of wonderful walking trails and with the site located on the Cumbrian Way footpath, this is also a great pit stop for those taking on the challenge.
For those looking for an interesting day out, head to Puzzling Place (30 minutes). Here you will find many weird and wonderful illusion exhibitions, a gallery of holograms and 3D images, this is the perfect place to take fun photos to remember your trip by!
From this northern spot, you also have easy access to the nearby city of Carlisle, just 30 minutes away. Get the young ones delving into history at Carlisle Castle, see things on a new scale at the World in Miniature Museum or simply enjoy a day pottering around the charming streets.
Other nearby attractions include:
- Lake District Wildlife Park (20 minutes)
- Aira Force Waterfall (30 minutes)
- Dalemain Mansion and Historic Gardens (30 minutes)
- Threlkeld Quarry and Mining Museum (30 minutes)
