When
the sun’s shining and you're pitched at the end of Borrowdale, one of the
Lake District's most beautiful valleys, it’s hard to imagine camping getting
any better. This
laid back site is located on a working farm and romantically nestled amidst dramatic
mountain scenery and close to England’s highest peak, Scafell Pike. Seathwaite
Farm is a real ‘get away from it all' site, and gives visitors the chance
to reacquaint with nature among some of the most beautiful and unspoilt landscapes
in the whole of Britain.
If
you’re looking for luxury camping, then Seathwaite Farm isn’t for you. The
facilities can only be described as basic and the site is only suitable for
tents and small campervans due to a narrow access road. But what really matters here is
not how neatly trimmed the pitches are, nor how contemporary or stylish the shower block
may be, but simply for visitors to soak up the remarkable, breathtaking scenery
that makes Seathwaite Farm such a special place to camp.
Campers
are inevitably here for the walks, with hikers lured by the towering peaks of
Scafell Pike. These are pretty challenging treks,
but visitors can warm up with one of the easier routes that snake these fells,
including fabulous walks at Great Gable, Great End, and Glaramara.
The
whole of the Lake District is easily accessible from Seathwaite Farm by car,
but the local area deserves some serious attention, so be sure to bring a pair
of extra comfy walking boots.
