Family owned and managed since 1956, the park resides in peaceful seclusion between two delightfully contrasting coastal villages: tranquil Silverdale to the south, and bustling Arnside on the Lancashire-Cumbria border.

Nature lovers will find RSPB's Leighton Moss bird sanctuary a paradise, whilst the ancient market town of Kendal - 'Gateway to the Lakes' - is only a short drive away.
