  • Quiet hillside farm site in west Cumbria with views to the sea
  • Coast, lakes, hill walks and mountain biking within 40 minutes' drive
  • Around five minutes' drive to Caldbeck for pub, cafés and shop
Blecogo… Red Dial… Theckthwaite Beck… There are some fine place names in this part of Cumbria and some fine spots to stop in, too. Wallace Lane Farm can't compete in the intriguing name stakes but it's certainly a winner on the fine spot front. The views from this farm are spectacular: the Irish Sea, the Solway Firth, the first of the Galloway hills. Whatever you're looking at, and whichever parts of this fab area you're visiting, you'll likely appreciate the laundry and drying room as well as the hot showers in the heated washrooms. And at the end of your day of exploring, you can sit round a campfire or grill your bangers on a barbecue – both are welcome and there are two washing-up areas for pots and pans. It's just over five minutes' drive from the farm to Caldbeck, which has a pub with food and two cafés as well as a shop for supplies. Perhaps you could pick up a picnic and wander through the village along the banks of the Caldew river? If you're into fishing, day permits are available on many of the rivers and streams of the surrounding area; the Wampool, Waver and Ellen are favourites for those seeking trout and salmon.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked What a gorgeous little gem this place is! The surrounding views are absolutely stunning and make for a tranquil stay, away from the noise. The facilities were great and not a far walk from our pitch. The staff were so efficient in the ensuring the showers and toilets were cleaned on a regular basis.

The on-site shop provided anything you may have forgotten and serves lovely coffee too.

All staff were so pleasant and professional. It was lovely to chat to them in an evening. They also did the rounds on a buggy every hour or so to make everyone was happy.

We would definitely recommend to others and would happily come again!’

Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite (large)

Liked Our pitch was in an amazing spot, we had an area to ourselves. Loved that the owner was vigilant with noise on the first night but wasn’t seen on our second night stay. The campsite was spotless at all times, a credit to the owners for maintaining it. The bins were well and truly full by Saturday night and it was good to see that Sunday morning they were there cleaning some of the rubbish away. Was peaceful overall and we were very lucky to have a secluded spot

Disliked Unfortunately there were too many owners who let their dogs roam free around the campsite, seeing dog poo not cleared up was not great! I have fed back to the site directly to discuss with new guests to reinforce this as it was clear no one was following this and made me feel uneasy around loose dogs. There were big groups allowed, something a bit off putting but it wouldn’t stop us from staying here. It was truly a tidy and well maintained place

Local attractions

Sea fishing without a boat can be tried from the banks of the Solway Firth at Port Carlisle (half an hour by car); alternatively try your hand on the waters of Bassenthwaite lake, 25 minutes away. Bassenthwaite is a bumper spot for lake walks and if you're in need of fortification, there's a distillery at the northern end doing tours and tastings. If you're more of a high mountains type, paths up Skiddaw and Grisedale Pike start half an hour from the site. A real peak-bagger could rack up two national parks in a day round here; routes up Cross Fell, jewel of the North Pennines, start an hour away. Mountain bikers make for Whinlatter Forest Park (40 minutes) to hire wheels and try the UK's longest purpose-built tracks; the park's also popular with those seeking treetop thrills on the high ropes. It's a good place to test your mettle before scrambling along the via ferrata cableway at Honister Slate Mine, an hour away. For days down at lake level, you can be sailing, rowing or taking a boat cruise to the little islands on Derwentwater within half an hour; Ambleside, at the top of Lake Windermere with its steamers and watersports, is an hour's journey by car. To see some cracking coastline, it's half an hour to Bowness-on-Solway and Mayport, both good for nature-filled walks and Roman history.
