Your next Adventure

The Western Lake District is a world away from the tourist centres of Windermere and the other towns and villages in south lakes region. Surprisingly untouched by tourism, the westerly side of the Lake District remains wild and remote. It also has the region’s most magnificent views and Forest Views Caravan Park is perfectly placed to take in the abundance of nature and everything there is to see and visit here.

The Lake District is also known as the Lakes or Lakeland. It is a mountainous region in Cumbria and a popular holiday destination. Best known for its lakes, forests and mountains and fells, the Lake District National Park was established in 1951 and covers an area of 2,362 square kilometres. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2017. The great poet William Wordsworth, writer Beatrix Potter and artist John Ruskin all have strong connections with the Lakes, adding to the romance and history of the area.

STANLEY GHYLL WATERFALL WALK-ESKDALE

Stanley Ghyll Force is a 60-foot-high waterfall set in an extraordinary deep, narrow gorge, where rhododendrons growing on craggy ledges and precipices provide an eastern backdrop.

Extreme care is needed in places, as the path is steep and unfenced.
