Gillside Caravan and Campsite in Glenridding, Ullswater
Gillside, is sited in an idyllic location for the perfect camping and caravanning holiday. A Lakeland farm that has been worked by the Lightfoot family for over 40 years. A campsite site where you can easily view some of the work of a traditional Lakeland farm.
Nestled on the side of one of the most scenic of lakeland dales, the reaches of Ullswater
are viewed spread below and along the valley. The nearby track that leads fell walkers
to that magical and mighty summit Helvellyn, passes by the entrance to the farm.
The
village of Glenridding, which originally housed the miners from the disused Greenside
mine, has a good selection of general food and gift stores, a National Park information
centre, post office, cafes and restaurants, together with a variety of hotel and
picturesque public bars -
Facilities provided for your comfort include a constant supply of hot and cold water
in the toilet block with the added benefit of relieving tired and aching muscles
with a piping hot shower after your day in the outdoors. Deep sinks are available
for the cleaning of pots and pans and a laundry with washer and drier are there for
your use. The farm will be pleased to supply you with fresh milk and eggs -
