SECLUDED FORESTA SECLUDED FOREST SETTING IN WHICH TO ENJOY SPECIAL TIMES

WITH FRIENDS OR FAMILY

03www.skelwith.com

It’s not just the glorious 130 acres of woodland here for you to explore. Nor just the countless wildlife discoveries waiting to be made. It’s the magical atmosphere of a tranquil environment where your cares slip away from the moment you enter our gates.

As you turn through the gates at Skelwith Fold you will know you’ve made a good decision. Our magical red road, winding to our park reception, is canopied by trees and bordered by woodland where - likely as not - you will catch a glimpse of our resident wildlife, such as roe deer, woodpeckers, and if you’re lucky, even a red squirrel.

For many years the grounds of Skelwith encircled one of Cumbria’s finest houses and access was limited to the privileged few, many of whom are well-known names such as Marshal, Wordsworth and Schwitters to name but a few. Today this magical woodland with its labyrinth of paths and forest glades is available for us all to use alongside the birds, squirrels, deer and other fascinating creatures.

Over the past 18 years, our family has been privileged to own Skelwith Fold and we have helped to protect its natural beauty and its diverse flora and fauna.

During that time Skelwith has developed into an exceptional caravan park, creating a setting for the perfect Lake District experience and a lifetime of treasured memories for generations to come.

Many say, and I would agree, one visit is not enough. I am confident you will enjoy your stay and that our friendly team will help you feel welcome.

A single visit to Skelwith Fold can never be enough

SKELWITH FOLDTHE PERFECT ESCAPE FOR TOURING CARAVANS, MOTORHOMES,

HOLIDAY HOMES AND WOODLAND HIDEAWAYS

Skelwith Fold houses over 450 pitches but has the feel of a much smaller park - the accommodation areas have been carefully and sympathetically set out in small forest glades, settled amongst natural undulating features, creating a sense of quiet and intimacy. Even in the height of the season, the park does not have a crowded feel.

04 www.skelwith.com 05www.skelwith.com

Superb facilitiesAnd for the young ones, our adventure playground and adjacent all-weather pitch provides plenty of entertainment and friendly matches for all ages!

And if you can be persuaded to leave the park at any time, you’ll find yourself in the heart of everything for which the Lake District is best known. Activities from gentle walks, to adrenalin sports, picture-postcard villages and towns, gardens, historic sites, lake cruises….all just waiting for you…

Our 130 acres are begging to be explored. There are plenty of paths to follow, leading to a wealth of discoveries, including our mystical tarn, sculptures and breathtaking views of the Langdale Pikes and surrounding fells.

Evenings are often spent alfresco, enjoying a meal of Cumbrian food cooked on the BBQ, with a glass of wine, all available in Skelwith’s shop. Others enjoy evenings out in the locality with Ambleside and Hawkshead close by. The shop also offers the chance to buy home-baked bread, pastries, newspapers, local gifts and small toys for the children.

The recently refurbished library, laundrette and drying room, and luxury heated toilet-shower facilities ensure guests have access to all their creature comforts.

Our Wi-Fi hotspots provide the opportunity to browse online and follow ‘Sammy squirrel at Skelwith’ on Facebook or find out what’s on by visiting the Skelwith Fold website.

Could you ask for a more idyllic location? Or imagine a better view from the window? Skelwith Fold is a former country estate and its location is a first-class destination for your touring caravan or motor home.

There is a choice of standard or superior hard standing pitches to suit all, from open aspects to forest glades and secluded corners, or pitches adjacent to the adventure play area. Every pitch has a few things in common - picturesque surroundings, ancient woodland and a wonderful array of wildlife.

We are happy to take bookings over the phone or why not book via our website 24 hours a day.

Love the idea of camping? But less sure about the cold, draughty and damp bits?
