Good evening,

Can you recommend a campsite that is within walking distance to a village with a 5 or 6 pubs? Thinking of Lake District, Yorkshire Dales, or Cheshire areas.

Somewhere like The Croft at Hawkshead.

Many Thanks.

C&CC site, Keswick (Lake District)

C&CC site, Bowness (Lake District)

Brown Moor CC site, Hawes (Yorkshire Dales)

First ones off the top of my head. All great sites. All easy walks to town/village with all the pubs you'd need!

Castlerigg Hall at Keswick has a hotel just outside the gate with a lovely little bar behind it that the campers use. Or you can walk into Keswick and bus back.

The C & CC Eskdale site in the village of Boot in the western lake district is lovely, with three pubs just a few minutes walk away.

Riverside in the village of Cononley near Skipton is another nice one with a couple of pubs about five minutes walk from the site.

Bainbridge Ings at Hawes would fit the bill then.

Tokoda at Kirkby Stephen if you're in a tent and dont want hook up
Near Lakes and Dales
KS has pubs, cafes, Chinese and Indian and other places to eat as well as a small co-op and spar

Our village (Ravenstonedale nr Kirkby Stephen, Cumbria) - if you're after a basic campsite then here
Again very handy for both Lakes and Dales
We have 2 excellent pubs in the village (Kings Head, Ravenstonedale and Black Swan, Ravenstonedale) well within easy walking distance from both sites and also a 3rd pub in easy walking distance from Bowberhead (not as good IMHO but we all differ in what we like)

Another nearby place is High Lane Farm (google for the holiday cottages - Boustead - but they also have a CL/CS)
About a 20 min, 1 mile walk to nearest pub (Kings Head) but we've now got a footpath linking the 2 villages

HIgh Lane Farm

Park Foot at Pooley Bridge - if you don't need hook up, stay on the Aikbeck field, then you have a quiet lakeside walk into the village, three lovely pubs and a tea room

Another vote for Bainbridge Ings, Hawes. Great basic site and an easy 10 minute walk to lovely Yorkshire Dales village with pubs.

Woodclose, Kirkby Lonsdale - lots of pubs in the village. Can recommend the Orange Tree for a good meal. Also close to the river and Devils Bridge.

Many thanks for all your replies. Looks like some really good campsites to choose from. Think i might try quite a few of them shortly. :)

Thanks again and keep them coming if there are any more.
