Blakebeck Camping Barn is an ideal overnight base for cyclists and walkers. The barn is on the C2C cycle route halfway between Keswick and Penrith, and The Cumbrian Way passes close by too. Many Lake District peaks are within reach by car or on foot.

About Blakebeck Camping Barn

Blakebeck Farm camping barn is situated on a small and peaceful farm at the foot of Souther Fell, with glorious views of Wainwright's favourite mountains, Blencathra (Saddleback) to the north and Helvellyn to the west. It's an ideal base for exploring the attractions of the Northern Lakes. The camping barn has three main rooms. Upstairs is a room with a wooden floor, stone walls, a large table and chairs and an open area for recreation (with ten mattresses to convert this into sleeping accommodation). The kitchen is also upstairs. Downstairs is ideal for bike storage and also contains a drying rack connected to the farmhouse central heating. There are also shower rooms each with a toilet and wash hand basin. Heating is available upon request by hiring electric oil filled radiators. One well behaved dog is welcome when a group has sole use of the barn. Due to being in close proximity to the farm house, the barn is not suitable for hen, stag or party groups.

Open all year

Blakebeck is on the C2C cycle route, half way between Keswick and Penrith. The Cumbrian Way passes close by and many Lake District peaks (including Helvellyn, Blencathra and Skiddaw) are within easy reach by car or by public footpath from the farm. There are plenty of quiet country lanes in the immediate vicinity, and lots of lovely local walks too.

The bustling market town of Keswick is just 4.5 miles away. The town's Crow Park hugs the shores of Derwentwater Lake where you can catch the Keswick Launch to various stops around the shore.

The stunning scenery, challenging walks and water sports at Ullswater are a short drive away. Glenridding on the south western shore of Ullswater is the start of the famous trek to Helvellyn's summit via Striding Edge.

Pooley Bridge is on the northern shore and offers good climbing on Gowbarrow Cragg.
