The Farmer's Field at Lowick Green

10 units · Motorhomes, Tents2 acres · England

Set amidst 6 acres of land around our community pub, our dog and family-friendly camping area is sustainably managed for biodiversity and surrounded by hedgerows. Well away from surrounding roads, and just a short, level walk from our carpark, you will enjoy stunning views up the Crake Valley towards the fells. Enjoy a simple, no frills stay within a few minutes stroll of our historic pub, with its 16th century bar serving local beers and wonderful food. Our cafe is a great stop-off for coffee and cakes, and our outdoor wood-fired oven serves unforgettable pizza. Our pub and cafe are open Thursday- Sunday and we only accept bookings during this time. The Farmer's Field is ideally located as a base from which to explore both the South Lakes and West Cumbria, or perhaps as a stop en route further north.
