“Walk to Ullswater or enjoy the comforts of a fine Georgian house” - AA Inspector
POOLEY BRIDGE, CUMBRIA
Our Inspector's view
A quality touring park with neat, hardstanding pitches (all are fully serviced) in a grassy glade in the wooded grounds of an elegant Georgian mansion, just a short distance from the shores of Ullswater. The toilet facilities are clean and well maintained. The lounge bar, with a separate family room, enjoys lake views and serves pizzas during the season. The Ullswater Way leads down to the lake and nearby Dalemain House & Gardens. Pooley Bridge is a 15-minute walk and Aira Force waterfall is close by. Wooden glamping pods (five en suite pods sleeping up to six), and four S-pods (sleeping up to six) and five self-catering cottages are available for hire. Please note that there is no access for caravans and motorhomes via Dacre; sat nav should not be used.

About the area
Discover Cumbria
Cumbria's rugged yet beautiful landscape is best known for the Lake District National Park that sits within its boundaries. It’s famous for Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, and Derwent Water, ‘Queen of the English Lakes'. This beautiful countryside once inspired William Wordsworth and his home, Dove Cottage, in Grasmere is a popular museum. Another place of literary pilgrimage is Hill Top, home of Beatrix Potter, located near Windermere. Tom Kitten, Samuel Whiskers and Jemima Puddleduck were all created here.
Much of Cumbria is often overlooked in favour of the Lake Distirct. In the south, the Lune Valley remains as lovely as it was when Turner painted it. The coast is also a secret gem. With its wide cobbled streets, spacious green and views of the Solway Firth, Silloth is a fine Victorian seaside resort. Other towns along this coastline include Whitehaven, Workington and Maryport. Carlisle is well worth a look – once a Roman camp, its red-brick cathedral dates back to the early 12th century and its 11th-century castle was built by William Rufus.
