Local to Longlands

Longlands is ideally situated for you to enjoy the variety of activities that are on offer to you in the Lake District. We are proudly associated with Holker Hall which is only a 20 minute drive from the park and is one of the finest examples of a lived in, family stately home in the country. Holker Estate hosts a number of special events throughout the year such as the Garden Festival, monthly local producers markets and outdoor performances of popular plays by nationally renowned theatre companies. Dates of forthcoming events can be found by clicking this link. www.holker.co.uk

As a caravan owner you and your family have free access to the hall and gardens and are always very welcome to attend all of the events planned for this year and future years to come!

 If you enjoy walking, rambling, rock climbing, sailing, fishing, exploring the countryside or a leisurely game of golf, then you have found your haven.

The Holker Estate also owns Cartmel Racecourse and we provide information of the racing fixtures for those wanting a super family day out combined with a bit of a flutter on the horses.
