Skelwith Fold Caravan Park, set within 130 acres of ancient woodland in the Lake District, has been recommended by Pitchup as a top-notch family destination. Located a 10-minute drive from Ambleside, the park features woodland trails, a large play area, and pitches for caravans and motorhomes. Visitor reviews highlight cleanliness, spacious pitches, and friendly staff, though some note the cost as high.

Plans submitted to install 7 caravans at Colne holiday park

Prospect Farm Residential Park in Lenches Road, Colne, has submitted an application for seven static caravans. The site historically operated as a holiday park but changed to residential use after permissions from Pendle Borough Council. The new proposal aims to restore its tourism role. The scheme includes five 40ft by 14ft units accessed via the existing internal road network, plus new hedgerow planting along boundaries. Based on an average occupancy of two people per caravan and 60 days of use per year, the seven units could generate approximately £85,680 in visitor spending annually, including around £48,720 spent off-site in the local economy.
