Forest Views Caravan Park is a small, peaceful holiday park located on the A595, at Moota, near Cockermouth, on the edge of the Lake District National Park. The Park has fantastic views over the open countryside towards Skiddaw, the sixth highest and, also considered to be, the oldest mountain in England.

A landscape of Mountains, Valleys and Lakes. With the magnificent West Cumbrian coastline and Irish Sea beyond, western Lakeland is a land of extreme and exhilarating contrasts. The small and exclusive family-owned park is within easy reach of everything the region has to offer. There are endless activities in the Lake District, and the park is open all year round, so you can choose to bring the family to visit for a weekend, a short break, or stay longer-the choice is yours.

The Western Lake District is a world away from the tourist centres of Windermere and the other towns and villages in south lakes region. Surprisingly untouched by tourism, the westerly side of the Lake District remains wild and remote. It also has the region’s most magnificent views and Forest Views Caravan Park is perfectly placed to take in the abundance of nature and everything there is to see and visit here.

The Lake District is also known as the Lakes or Lakeland. It is a mountainous region in Cumbria and a popular holiday destination. Best known for its lakes, forests and mountains and fells, the Lake District National Park was established in 1951 and covers an area of 2,362 square kilometres. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2017. The great poet William Wordsworth, writer Beatrix Potter and artist John Ruskin all have strong connections with the Lakes, adding to the romance and history of the area.

STANLEY GHYLL WATERFALL WALK-ESKDALE

Stanley Ghyll Force is a 60-foot-high waterfall set in an extraordinary deep, narrow gorge, where rhododendrons growing on craggy ledges and precipices provide an eastern backdrop. The force is accessed either from the car park at the Dalegarth Station of the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway, or the National Trust car park. Extreme care is needed in places, as the path is steep and unfenced.

THE SOLWAY FIRTH-AONB

The Solway Firth on the west Cumbrian Coast is classed as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty- when you visit the area you will soon realise why! The England Coast Path is the “longest managed and waymarked coastal path in the world” and it crosses through the Solway Coast, within a short distance of Forest Views Caravan Park. You can visit the Solway Coast Discovery Centre in nearby Silloth, easily accessible from the north on the B5302 or the south along the B5300. Here you can learn all about the area and plan your activities from the many choices available. Many visitors flock to the area for the thousands of bird species that frequent this internationally important area. Birds of prey are common including peregrine, merlin, short-eared owl and hen harrier.

MARYPORT

Maryport has a long maritime history going back from the Roman’s, who used the shoreline as a defence in the building of Hadrian’s Wall, to the trade. The west-facing coast presents vast views and superb sunsets across the Irish Sea, which can be enjoyed from the promenade. To the north of Maryport is Crosscanonby, named after the Augustinian canons of Carlisle cathedral. To the east are the coal mining towns of Crosby, Dearham and Broughton Moor. To the south is the coastal village of Flimby. These smaller towns and villages offer a selection of shops, cafes and pubs serving local produce and fine ales. Perfect refreshment after a day of exploring!

RAVENGLASS

Ravenglass was known as an important Roman naval base in the 2nd century. Nowadays it is best known as a terminus for the Ravenglass & Eskdale steam railway also known as La’al Ratty. The line is seven miles long with a journey time of 40 minutes each way offering spectacular views over the estuaries and countryside. You will see England’s highest mountains in the distance. Ravenglass is the place where the rivers Esk, Irt, and Mite form an estuary and natural harbour. The scenery on the drive to Ravenglass from any direction is spectacular, with Muncaster Castle looming above as you enter the village. The Drigg Dunes are an essential nature reserve, home to a wide variety of rare wildflowers, insects and natterjack toads.

WHITEHAVEN

Whitehaven’s maritime port was once the third-largest in the UK with trade links across the world. The town’s wealth was built by the wealthy Lowther family, coal merchants. Whitehaven became an example of elegant Georgian architecture and was listed as a ‘gem town’. Eventually used as a template for the development of New York City, USA. The historic 17th-century harbour is a centre for showcasing maritime events including tall sailing ships. Whitehaven is also a hub for creative arts, from art and craft exhibitions to theatre and music events, hosting a calendar of events across the year for all the family to enjoy. Whatever the weather, one thing is for certain, you won’t be bored in this local area.
