Time for a slice of the simple life? Grab a peaceful Lake District pitch at Church Lane Campsite and immerse yourselves in proper scenic countryside with few distractions. This back to basics site has life’s essentials in place – in the form of drinking water, toilets and showers – but hasn’t gone overboard with other facilities, so you’ll simply be left to set up your space and soak up the gorgeous views of the surrounding countryside. Pitches here are on grass with trees around the field to provide a bit of shelter and shade – and the views are pretty much green as far as you can see. This setting gives the place a remote atmosphere that’s well suited to adventurous travellers, nature lovers and serenity-seeking couples or families. That said, it’s not actually all that remote – handily, you’ll be able to drive to Kendal in about 10 minutes for cultural attractions, shops and places to eat, and popular Windermere is about the same distance in the other direction. Closer still are a smart rural restaurant and the little village of Crook, a mile away and the home of the local pub – both excellent options for a good feed.

King Garth

Carlisle, England · 1 unit
Built in 1733, King Garth is also known as The Old Customs House, reflecting its role in these fraught times of smuggling. Its strategic position on the banks of The Eden served as the perfect lookout for a bailiff employed by Carlisle Corporation to protect the very important salmon fishery. The plaques on the building which commemorate the visits by Mayors date back to the 1700s. These visits no doubt involved indulgent banquets centring around freshly caught salmon
I grew up on the opposite side of the river. On family walks along the Eden I was always fascinated by the house on the other side sited in such an amazing position.
In 2010, when I returned to Cumbria I was amazed to hear that this house was for sale. It was a ruin and everyone told me I was mad..... I probably was a little! But I soon realised that I wasn’t alone in my love of this house, everyone I met from the surrounding villages had a tale to tell about this iconic place. King Garth is for sharing - with locals, (we have an annual barbecue), with wildlife and with people like you.
The aim when renovating King Garth was to celebrate and embrace its history. King Garth is off grid and has no running water. It is furnished in a style to reflect its history. It isn’t everyone’s ‘cup of tea’: you have to drive a mile down a muddy lane, there is no hot shower, no electric lighting, and a compost toilet. BUT we offer beautiful evenings of candle light, log burner, hot tub under the stars and bathing in the river.
My priority with King Garth and the land attached was to manage in a way to protect the abundant wildlife. There are also alpacas who you can look after during your stay.
You will be astounded by the din the birds make at dawn and dusk!
Inside the house there is an owl box where one summer a pair of barn owls successfully raised chicks. Since then a kestrel frequents the box and has twice laid there.
This part of the Eden is tidal so both estuarine and river species co exist. Kingfishers and otters are often spotted And even the occasional seal! Kinggarth comes with fishing rights and if you want to fish this can be arranged with the host.
The bird feeders are frequented by tree sparrows, yellow hammers, wood peckers, nut hatches and in winter red poll.

As the name suggests, we’re located ‘in the sticks’ in rolling countryside, on a small working sheep farm near the Market Town of Kendal (famous for its Mint Cake of course!) which is also known as the ‘Gateway to the Lakes’.
So, we’re perfectly located … ‘in the sticks’ so you can enjoy a peaceful glamping pod retreat, but also an ideal base for exploring the stunning Yorkshire Dales on one side, and the beautiful Lake District on the other.
We’re less than 10 minutes from J37 of the M6

Great spot and starting point for walks up Murton Pike and High Cup Nick. Nice little site, portaloo and tap as described and Ted is a fine fellow. Fresh eggs and he also let us stay in our campervans so worth asking if it’s been dry enough. Would stay again

Me and my boyfriend stayed at Teds campsite last night and have to say it was 10/10. Ted welcomed us at the gate, rented us a fire pit and wood with some matches for next to nothing. Had plenty of recommendations for breakfast and the abundance of pubs in villages surrounding. Lots of nice hiking trails around. We visited high force waterfall in the morning after we’d left after taking home all the farm fresh eggs ted had to offer. The night previous we’d had a lovely meal at one of the pubs in appleby and had a toasty from in the bakery in the morning which we delicious! Such a nice first njght away for me and my boyfriend made extra special by the lovely ted a perfect host in giving you your privacy but also a perfect helping hand !

My girlfriend and I decided to go camping completely last minute in our TentBox, so there weren’t many places left, but honestly, stumbling across Ted’s campsite felt like a win. It’s very back to basics, which was exactly what we wanted. No noise, no crowds, just a quiet spot tucked away from everything. The road nearby is private and barely used, so the only cars we saw were locals or farmers passing through.
The field is surrounded by sheep, chickens, geese and all sorts of wildlife. We even spotted lambs, rabbits and pheasants wandering around like they owned the place. At night, the little stream running along the edge of the field was ridiculously calming.
Ted himself is genuinely lovely :) you can tell he really cares about the people who stay there. He also sells fresh eggs, which we obviously bought, and they were great.
It was so quiet that we actually debated whether we should even bother going for a walk or just sit there and enjoy doing nothing. In the end we walked up Murton Pike (1 hour each way). On the path only was us and the sheep, and the view from the top was completely worth it.
For a last minute choice, we couldn’t believe how perfect it turned out. Proper peaceful, simple, and exactly what we needed.

We loved this site! It was easy to find and when we arrived we were greeted by Cathryn who was very welcoming and her 20+ gorgeous cats! The pitch had stunning views of Scarfell in the distance and was very peaceful with only the soothing sounds of the sheep and cows breaking the silence. The toilet block was immaculately clean and the shower had plenty of hot water. We will definitely stay here again when we visit this part of the country.

We (2 adults and a 13 and 10 year old) enjoyed a two night stay in the pod. Lots provided with towels, bath mat, fridge and tea towels, washing up liquid. We asked for a pack for the fire pit which was waiting for us on the decking (I did however forget to pack matches so remember those!)
The sofa bed was quite small so I think it is better suited to three people at most depending on the age of the children.
We had a walk to the local pub but other than that spent time at the pod with the fire pit!

The view was amazing and a cute little spot close to a verity of towns as well as walks. My car had issues with the exhaust box and Cathryn was able to help out by calling a local person to have a look at it which was very helpful and made sure we had everything we needed for the stay. There's cute farm cats too!
