A note from the site themselves...

Welcome to Church Stile! Our farm sits in the heart of the beautiful Wasdale Valley in the charming village of Nether Wasdale. It's a traditional Lakeland sheep and beef farm with a long and fascinating history.

Church Stile has been here since at least 1547, and in the last 400 years, only three families have cared for this special place. The Knight family farmed here from 1898 until recently and still farm nearby, while the Fletcher family looked after it for around 300 years before them.

The farm itself stretches over 280 acres, including more than 30 acres of beautiful natural woodland. We also have grazing rights on Nether Wasdale Common, where we care for around 700 pure Herdwick ewes. Most of our Herdwick lamb is sold directly to private customers or to The Sawmill Café nearby, as well as to small local butchers.

We love sharing this incredible landscape, its history, and its delicious local produce with our visitors. We hope you enjoy your time here!

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Hardstanding PitchesApr 2025

Perfect spot surrounded by beautiful scenery, this was the perfect base for kayaking and paddle boarding on Wast Water. Enough facilities for us as a couple, which were clean and well kept. Plenty of space between pitches. The couple running the site were very friendly and welcoming. We’ll be coming here again.
