Birchbank Camping Site
Birchbank is a small campsite on a Lake District sheep farm, located on the fells between Coniston Water and the Duddon Estuary. The site has a small stream running through it which the children love to play in and is next to the fell, with footpaths and bridleways directly from the gate, making it ideal for walking and cycling. There are just 24 grass pitches, some available with a 10 amp electric hook up. Windermere is also within 25 minutes!

About the site
This peaceful campsite is located on a 300 acre sheep farm on the fells between Coniston Water and the Duddon Estuary, a short detour from the Cumbria Way if you are walking. The farm is surrounded by footpaths for walking, with sheep and cows as your neighbours! The grassy and mostly flat site is off the beaten track and next to the open fell. There are 16 non electric pitches, along with eight pitches with 10 amp electric hook ups. Tents, roof tents and campervans are welcome, with up to eight guests permitted per pitch. For exploring by car, there are so many amazing local spots to choose from. Lake Windermere is within a 25 minute drive, with National Trust - Fell Foot and the Lakes Aquarium located on its shore. The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction, Brockhole on Windermere and the coast are within a 45 minute drive too! Dogs are welcome, with up to two dogs permitted per pitch. If you can just ensure they are kept under control and on a lead because of the farm's sheep. In the evening, you can unwind with a BBQ or toast marshmallows over the fire pit. Please note, campfires are not allowed.
