With good transport links to surrounding areas you’ll never be stuck for things to do. We’d like to highlight just a few of our favourites but more information can be found on our ‘What’s On’ page of the website.
Thornton Hall Farm
Keeping things very local, just a short five minute drive away is Thornton Hall Farm, offering activities for all age groups.
Thornton Hall Farm is great for a day out with the kids and, on evenings, they host regular events, including live music! Within easy reach of the campsite this is a must visit attraction.
Bustling town of Barnoldswick
The friendly locals are always welcoming to their selection of pubs, cafes and shops; a nice place to catch your breath should you decide to walk along Weets Hill.
The distinctive town square is a beautiful area to explore and enjoy. Should the children be proving a handful then Victory Park offers Rugby lessons to children aged 2-10; it’s also free!
Barnoldswick, or Barlick as some locals refer to it, is a great place that is often overlooked by other tourists. We recommend visiting this hidden gem!
Historic market town of Skipton; Gateway to the Dales
Slightly further afield but easily accessible by a 15 minute drive is the historic market town of Skipton; Gateway to the Dales.
Take a stroll down the cobbled high street full of Market Stalls (on a Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday) and see the unusual and unique items the vendors have for sale.
How about with some local history? Skipton Castle is open to the public once again and offers one of the best kept Castles in England. You can even visit the dungeons, should you be brave enough!
Again, a fine selection of cafes, pubs and shops can be found with everything from fresh hot chocolates, to Starbucks, cakes and even a Turkish cafe! The town regularly hosts local events, which we are more than happy to keep you informed about.
Plenty of footpaths ranging from 2 to 20 mile walks
For those of you more up for a rugged walk or a bike ride, well, there’s more than enough choice. From the Glamping site with the most amazing views, you can find plenty of footpaths ranging from 2 to 20 mile walks.
Fancy more of a challenge? You can walk to Skipton, experience all of the above, stop for a drink (or three!) and head back. The walk takes you along either river banks, woodland or over the moors and hills which is a stunning way to see the local scenery.
Bolton Abbey – The Ancient Woodland
Nearby, accessible with just a 30 minute drive, is one of Yorkshire’s most visited attractions – Bolton Abbey.
The Ancient Woodland is simply jaw dropping, on the way you’ll pass the History filled ruins of the Abbey, walk along well-maintained paths along the River until entering Strid Wood – an area of Special Scientific Interest.
An easy to plan, family friendly activity it is one not to be missed. For the roughy-toughy ramblers there are walks all over the Dales and Pennines, from Ingleton on with its distinct Waterfalls to Malham and the captivating Cove and Gordale Scar; an unbelievable work of art sculpted by nature itself.
Mythical, history strewn Pendle Hill.
Finally, no highlight of local events and attractions would be complete without mentioning the mythical, history strewn Pendle Hill.
Linked forever to the Witch Trials of 17th Century England, Pendle Hill proves a popular destination for visitors to the area.
Stroll along the famous Pendle Hill Witches walking route and learn all about what happened in what is now a gorgeous part of the world.
If you would like to see the Pennine from the top, we absolutely recommend and the views are simply delightful. Our kids and dogs love this gorgeous walk.
For younger children there’s also the Pendle Sculpture Trail, a favourite amongst the younger age groups and a great, relaxing walk with plenty to see and discover. A visit to Pendle Hill is recommended, just don’t tell the kids the stories just before bed!
