If the strain and schedules of everyday life prove to be increasingly demanding, why not treat yourself to a well-earned break at Lane Head Farm, a peaceful site nuzzled on the striking North Lakes. The camping area rests on the grounds of a lovely farmhouse dating back to the 1750s. Guests can access the amenities and attractions in nearby Keswick and Ullswater on an urban day out. Walking enthusiasts are within easy reach of excellent fells like Blencathra, Skiddaw and Helvellyn, among others. Energetic folk of all ages and persuasions can use the centrally located farm as a centre-point for uncovering the delights across the striking landscapes of the Lake District. Head back to the base at the end of your eventful day, and stop at The Troutbeck Inn, set a mere mile from the campsite for homemade grub and refreshing tipple. Trudge back to the grounds, and settle in for a quiet night in your ensuite room. There are seven such rooms with access to free car parking and free Wi-Fi for all guests. Evening meals are also available at the farm on prior arrangements. Complimentary tea and coffee are available – an ideal accompaniment to the gorgeous colours of the sunrise each day. Friendly canine companions are more than welcome to tag along.
