Welcome to the Parkgate Farm Website
Parkgate is a small working farm in the Western Lake District, we have a few sheep, cattle and the largest herd of donkeys in the area! We have a camping field, and 4 static caravans to let. The views from the caravans are outstanding, with fields and forest in the foreground and the spectacular fells of Eskdale as a backdrop. During your stay you are welcome to come and visit the farm and meet the donkeys.
Parkgate farm is set in a quiet hollow away from the noise and bustle found in many areas of the Lake District. Yet it is ideally situated for a wonderful holiday, five miles from Englands highest mountain and five miles from the beaches at Ravenglass. The area has plenty for all ages, wonderful walks right from the farm, an abundance of wildlife to view, the La'al ratty narrow guage railway has a station only half a mile away and the magestic Muncaster Castle and Owlery is within walking distance. Eskdale even has its own golf course and a centre for course fishing
Of course you could just sit and admire the ever changing view, with a glass of wine and a good book! Parkgate is the perfect place to unwind, away from the stress of modern life
The campsite has stunning views of the Eskdale fells and beyond, and is only a few minutes drive to Wasdale and Wastwater which was voted best view in the British Isles
