Sarah & Keith are keen fell walkers and spend most of their free time walking with their two collies or out on the water on their kayak. They love to be able to share their holiday home with other outdoor enthusiasts.
The Beeches Caravan Park is a small, quiet site in the village of Gilcrux. The site offers a children's playground, post office and small shop plus a launderette with washer and dryer. Gilcrux is a lovely village just over 5 miles away from the pretty Georgian town of Cockermouth. The village has a country pub which serves food Thursday to Sunday, village green and children's playground. The closest beach is at Allonby, approximately 3.5 miles away. There are many lovely walks direct from the property itself. The property is in an ideal location for exploring the North & West Lakes. The wilderness of Ennerdale, the magic of Borrowdale and the beauty of Buttermere are all only around 30 minutes away. Bassenthwaite Lake is 20 minutes away and the popular town of Keswick, with its spectacular scenery on the shores of Derwentwater, is 30 minutes away.
