Skelwith Fold Caravan Park
f1ccb8ae-86cd-4a7f-abcb-c91a1dca0b85
The minute you turn into the entrance of Skelwith Fold Caravan Park you know you’re about to enjoy an amazing holiday. The drive leading down to the park can only be described as a tree-lined natural haven. With forest glades on either side and 130 acres of woodland to explore it’s no wonder they have a David Bellamy Gold Conservation Award under their belt. Common wildlife visitors include red deer, red squirrels and badgers. In fact during our stay we opened up the door to our ‘van one morning to see a baby deer peeping out of the undergrowth.
The holiday homes to buy are all new and luxurious to say the least. Little touches make it
like a home from home - swivel armchairs, en suite bathroom, full size bath, under cupboard lighting in the kitchen, walk in wardrobe, the list is endless! Plus all the usual things you would expect including a cooker, microwave, fridge/freezer and central heating. The living area has French doors out onto a small veranda, and even arriving in the rain, the view from the prime hillside location immediately told the mind and body to let the relaxation begin. At all times of day there is an air of tranquillity and calm here. A back to nature feel. Everywhere you look the land is green and you can see for miles.
As well as the labyrinth of paths leading from the park through the trees there are as many delightful walks down weaving country lanes, where the views across the countryside to the hills beyond can only be described as breath-taking. One such walk leads nicely to the local pub, which serves a lovely meal and is located next to the riverside. The town of Ambleside is just over a mile from Skelwith Fold and offers a variety of local shops and places to eat, as well as a petrol station and some high street shops.
The area surrounding Skelwith Fold is stunningly beautiful and one visit to this immaculate
park quite simply isn’t enough. There’s so much to see and do you will want to visit time and time again - one trip just to explore all that the park has to offer, as you will struggle to leave this peaceful haven, and another trip for when the call of The Lakes lures you.
