Chipping Camping Barn

A 20-minute drive takes you to Ribchester Roman Bath House, where you can feast your eyes on the ancient remains of a facility originally built around AD100. The village’s Roman Museum also runs events, such as historical re-enactments and kids' activity days. Even if the weather's less than kind, Cobble Hey Farm & Gardens is a pretty place to visit, set at a high-altitude and with rare cattle breeds dotted around the place. For rainy days, Barton Grange Garden Centre has a packed calendar of workshops and events. Lancaster and Blackpool are a 45-minute drive way. Lancaster has an impressive butterfly house, as well as fine riverside pubs and a high street for shopping. While more rough around the edges, Blackpool is a must-visit seaside town with bags of character. It has one of the best theme parks in England, as well as three piers and a famous tower. The Lake District is only an hour away. The National Park has been recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Along with the nearby Yorkshire Dales, you won’t need to search far for a good hiking spot on your stay.
