Old Hall
Caravan Park is such a beautiful, peaceful, place that visitors often
spend days in the valley totally unwinding. But once you’ve exhausted
yourself relaxing, it’s time to take in the enormous range of options
right on your doorstep. Less than 5 miles from the sea,
Morecambe Bay
has been a much loved destination for many years that combines the
unspoilt charm of Silverdale and Arnside area of outstanding natural
beauty
and
Leighton Moss nature reserve, the genteel bygone pleasures of
Grange-over-Sands and ‘classic’ seaside fun of Morecambe itself.
On the west side of the Bay a great day out can be had at
Cartmel Races
or at the famous Eskdale Miniature Railway. Another great attraction for
the kids can be had at South Lakes
Wild Animal Park, at
Dalton-in-Furness. This splendid wildlife park said by many to be the
best in the UK has been layed out to give its Lions, Tigers, Rhinos,
Giraffes, Hippos and other big game real freedom.
Close by too
is
Lancaster. Lying at the mouth of the River Lune (hence Lune-Caster),
this historic city has a splendid
castle and
museum and a great town
centre if you feel the need for shopping therapy! |

Just a few minutes’ walk from the Park is the Lancaster Canal, great for
fishing or a gentle amble through the lush countryside, admiring the
splendid narrow boats and wonderful views. Further afield to the East
(well 15 minutes away!) is pretty Kirby Lonsdale, which boasts some
great restaurants and famous Devils’ Bridge. It’s a great start or end
point for a round tour of the Dales and high Pennines taking in
Ingleton,
Richmond,
Dent,
Wensleydale and
Sedbergh.
Equally close to the North lies
Kendal, another charming shopping town.
Kendal’s on the road into the fabulous Lake District, with the vast
expanse of Windermere with all its water sports, fishing, steamers and
magnificent mountains beyond - all less than half an hour from Old Hall.
