Many of us look forward to an annual weekend getaway! The main objective is to unwind and create some amazing memories, regardless of whether you have a well-thought-out plan or choose to go on an impromptu adventure. If you're planning a fun weekend trip to Old Hall Caravan Park (OHCP), here are some things to do to make the most of your time there!
Even though weekends might seem short, preparation is still necessary. To make your weekend amazing, try to plan at least two enjoyable excursions, even if you can't do everything.
Take advantage of OHCP's prime location and start your weekend with a rejuvenating day in nature. The region boasts breathtaking scenery, and you won't want to pass up undiscovered treasures like Tarn Hows and Wordsworth's former residence, Rydal Mount. The gorgeous surroundings provide a nature lover's paradise with an abundance of trails and stunning views. A little preparation will guarantee you visit all the must-see locations that catch your attention, even though two days might not be enough for a thorough exploration.
The caravan park itself is surrounded by gorgeous private woodland that is perfect for walks and teeming with wildlife. Let's say you want a little adventure. If so, you can drive a short distance to RSPB Leighton Moss, a birdwatcher's paradise, particularly as winter draws near and wildlife starts getting ready for the colder months. Any bird lover will be delighted to see flocks of starlings muttering.
Treat yourself to a luxurious spa day at the Armathwaite Hall Hotel & Spa, which is ideally situated close to Bassenthwaite Lake, after a rewarding day of exploring. Enjoy restorative treatments intended to revitalise your body and mind while surrounded by breath taking scenery. Your adventurous day will be well-complemented by this peaceful experience, which lets you unwind and enjoy the serene surroundings.
Enjoy some of the best dining experiences the area has to offer after your day of rest and self-care. The Steam Train Dining Experience, which begins your culinary journey at Carnforth Station, allows you to experience the heyday of travel in a vintage steam train. Savour fine dining and champagne while travelling through stunning rural scenery by train.
L'Enclume in Cartmel is a must-visit for anyone looking for top-notch dining. A culinary adventure awaits true food enthusiasts at this three-Michelin-starred restaurant, which offers an outstanding tasting menu sourced from its farm. As an alternative, visit SOURCE at Gilpin Hotel for creative cuisine prepared by renowned chef Ollie Bridgewater, who was previously of The Fat Duck, and served in a chic setting in Windermere. Last but not least, don't miss The Cottage in the Wood, a Michelin-starred restaurant that masterfully combines traditional methods with contemporary flavours and is tucked away in Whinlatter Forest.
With plans for exploration, leisure, and exquisite dining, your weekend at OHCP is sure to be a memorable getaway.
