We've booked into this site for a long weekend mid march.

I was wondering if anyone had visited this site?

The reviews look brilliant but almost all say there isn't much around the site. So we'll probably look at going to Penrith or Carlisle for the day.

Any info and suggestions would be great!

Steve

Hi Steve

We live quite near the site.  Can't say I have visited it since they made it adults only. You probably need your car to visit most places as don't think there is a bus stop near the site.

Cockermouth is about 10 miles away. It is a lovely time with some lovely pubs and resturants. Carlisle is about 30 mins away.  Depending on what you like there is Tulli House Museum always got something to see, Carlisle Castle and The Lanes which is a shopping Centre. Keswick is about 35 mins heart of the lake district so lots of lovely walks etc.  Penrith is a bit furthe maybe about just under an hour.

If you need any more info just as.

Regards

Steve, Carlisle is well worth a visit, becareful if you go to Penrith, trying to park can be almost impossible, and the wardens are a tad keen!!

Whitehaven is ok as is the Maryport Aquariam.

Honister Slate Mine, near Keswick puts a few interesting hours in.

Thanks to the both of you for your suggestions.

I think were going to have a day in Carlisle and a day in maryport.

The castle sounds right up our street on things to do.

Can you tell me if maryport has enough there to spend the day, maybe a beach walk/promenade?

Steve, You could struggle to fill a day in Maryport, unless there is something special on, they do have an International Blues Festival in the summer at some point, if you google it you should find the dates, about 20 minutes north of Maryport on the coast is Silloth, a victorian seaside resort, with nice beaches en route at Allonby.

Steve I live in Maryport there is no way you will be able to fill a full day here. There is the aquarium and a roman museum  and thats about it.  Maybe half a day.  You could maybe join it up with a trip to silloth.

 

Thanks

Some great ideas for us here, many thanks!

I'll look into silloth to fill the day.

Im sure we'll find plenty to do, inbetween sitting in a rain drenched tent
