  • Small Lancashire farm site between the Lakes and Dales
  • Two miles from Kirkby Lonsdale and 25 minutes from Kendal
  • Family-run site welcoming families and dogs
Give yourself a new lease of life with a stay at New House Caravan Park, a gorgeous site just outside Kirkby Lonsdale and halfway between the Yorkshire Dales and Lake District national parks. This family-run business is based in the small settlement of Cowan Bridge, mere minutes from the larger town of Kirkby Lonsdale and its thriving high street, where you can explore a variety of independent shops, cafés and pubs or browse the popular weekly market. It's sometimes tricky to find dog-friendly accommodation, but you'll face no such problems at New House Caravan Park, as this pet-friendly park allows four-legged friends (please make sure all dogs are kept on leads while out and about around the site though). Shared facilities on site include bathrooms, a washing-up area and a launderette (for those inevitable bits of mud you'll pick up while out exploring the nearby national parks).

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: A well kept, peaceful site with Immaculate facilities. Unmanned office but signposted pitches with your name on. Definitely take levelling accessories though, the pitches are sloped. There's no play area but children can play on the grass area opposite your pitch. Shops are 1o mins away but there is a little convenience store & tea room 5 mins down the road.

Disliked: A small play area would have been ideal

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked: Well maintained. Great views. Hands off management but very well looked after site. Toilet and showers were always clean. WiFi was an unexpected bonus. If you're staying on the top pitches you do need tall levellers and rock pegs.

Local attractions

Start off by exploring the lovely Lunesdale area. Park up in Kirkby Lonsdale (five minutes' drive) for strolls around the town centre, crossing the graceful medieval arches of the Devil's Bridge and wandering or cycling along the riverbank. It's a short distance from here to Ruskin's View, described by the famous art critic in 1875 as 'one of the loveliest views in England', where you can take in suitably splendid panoramas over the Lune Valley. Next, a 10-minute drive to the south, you could visit the pretty village of Ingleton, where mountains, caves and waterfalls await. Alternatively, head further into Yorkshire for Dales day trips to Skipton (45 minutes) and its well-preserved castle, Settle (20 minutes) with its cliffs and caves or Hawes (35 minutes), home to cheese tastings at Wensleydale Creamery. To the north, you also have the Lake District National Park within reach. The handsome town of Kendal (25 minutes) has lots of historic sights to see, including a castle, museum and pleasant river walk, while the gorgeous shores of Windermere are just over half an hour away by road for boat trips, watersports and waterside wanders.
