If you’ve been feeling like going off-grid for a while, Holme Meadow Camping is your chance. This peaceful family-run site is on a smallholding in Cumbria with sheep, geese and chickens, and the location is certainly notable… For hikes and watersports, drive 25 minutes north to Windermere in the Lake District National Park. The site is a 20-minute drive from Kirkby Lonsdale on the western edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and a 10 to 15-minute drive to the sea at Sandside or Arnside which are both part of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. If you’d like to eat out, there’s a pub 10 minutes’ walk away in Holme which serves tasty food; take note that there are lots of splendid walks around the village which can be done before or after. Milnthorpe, five minutes' drive away, has shops, cafés and pubs. There’s also a local shop and garage one mile away for light refreshments. Keen birdwatcher? Simply take a stroll to the local canal or mill pond. Back at base, there are splendid wildflower areas and over 45 different species of birds to spot. Fire pits are provided; logs are sold on site. There is also produce for sale, so you should be all set to cook over the fire.
