Lakeland Touring · a little help with the planning

Our home ground. Your first escape.

Our featured region · collect in Carlisle

Start in Carlisle and make time for Keswick, Ullswater or Windermere. Choose one part of the Lakes as your base, with room for a lakeside day and an afternoon in town.

Make the region your own

For a first trip, keep the plan simple: settle in, explore locally and leave a day free. Take the car on sightseeing outings once the caravan is safely on its pitch. The scenic route for a day out is not automatically a suitable towing approach.

Plan the journey and the stay

Compare Keswick, Ullswater and Windermere bases before choosing. Castlerigg Hall, Park Cliffe and Troutbeck Head are our main local research candidates.
