About

Experience peace, tranquillity, and adventure on your next holiday at Parkgate Farm, located at the base of the picturesque Eskdale and Wasdale valleys. Whether you're a hiker, walker, or cyclist, our farm offers an extensive network of bridleways for exploring the surrounding fells, coast, valleys, and woodlands.

We have a full facilities block with showers, toilets, washing machine and tumble dryer. An exciting children’s play area is also a work in progress and will be ready to enjoy soon. Already we have a flat play area for ball games.

We welcome families, dogs and small groups wanting to enjoy nature, fresh air and dark skies.  There are sheep and cattle in the surrounding fields as well as our own very friendly donkeys (especially if you have a carrot) and as long as you close the gates you will be free to explore the fields and woodlands, build dens, have picnics and lie in the sun (or the snow!).

Holiday Caravans at Parkgate Farm

Discover the perfect holiday getaway in one of our five fully insulated and centrally heated holiday caravans, each with a private raised decked patio offering stunning views of the surrounding fells. Each caravan is of the same high standard but with subtle differences in layout and amenities.

• Whin Rigg (sleeps 6)
• Irton Pike & Latterbarrow (sleeps 4)
• Mecklin & Tinkler Craggs (sleeps 4)

The cottage is fully equipped with a kitchen including oven, stove, fridge, microwave, dishwasher, and washing machine.
