  • Family-run Lancashire site next to 12 acres of young woodland
  • Less than a mile from Ribchester; Forest of Bowland two miles
  • Dog and bike washes on site; bus stop a few minutes' walk
Preston and Blackburn are both within half an hour's drive of Dale Hey Touring Park – but this lovely Lancashire spot is a thoroughly rural place where you'll be able to slow down and soak up some proper countryside vibes. This is a place that’s been designed with the express aim of helping guests appreciate the outdoors – and part of that mission is purposely not offering wifi, to encourage visitors to switch off and connect instead with family and friends, or with the surroundings. And what fabulous surroundings they are – the site is next to a 12-acre broad-leaved woodland planted in 2003, and it's got well-maintained gardens with open grass spaces, formal planting and wildlife-friendly stumperies. Getting to know your new temporary home should be straightforward, as there's a clearly marked trail taking you into the woods, and you can join several other paths directly from the site. The River Ribble and riverside Ribble Way are less than a mile away, as is the pretty village of Ribchester – home to several pubs and cafés, a playground and a handy local shop. For jaunts further afield, there’s a bus stop a few minutes' walk away. Life on site is fairly simple, but the essentials are in place, including a washing-up area and well-kept bathrooms with disabled facilities. Given that the trails of the Forest of Bowland National Landscape are only a couple of miles away, it's also handy that there are dog and bike washing facilities on site.
