Wild Rose is uniquely positioned well off the beaten path, within a stone’s throw of the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales. Many visitors prefer to simply forget about the world and relax on the park during their stay, but if you wish to venture further afield you will be richly rewarded. 

Mountains, lakes and woodland trails await you as well as historic buildings and bustling farmers’ markets.  

To give you a head start on your travels we can provide you with the Wild Rose Rambler – our in-house magazine - which is full of information on the park and bursting with ideas for days out.

Our friendly staff are always on hand with a wealth of local insider information and tips from where to buy the best Cumberland Sausage to where to get a perfect local pint. Local attractions include:  

• The magnificent Pennines and glorious Lakeland pikes.
• Outdoor pursuits galore - from canoeing and mountain biking to rock climbing and sailing.
• The famous Settle-Carlisle Railway.
• Local towns and villages including the market town of Penrith, the Borders City of Carlisle, Kendal, home of the famous mintcake, and Keswick - a Lakeland climbers’ paradise.
• Lady Anne’s Way - a route which takes in five historic castles.
• A working pottery.
• Golf courses at Appleby, Warcop or Penrith.
• Local markets at Appleby and Penrith.
• Rheged visitors’ centre which boasts a 13 double-decker Cinema screen.  

Wherever your day takes you, Wild Rose will be waiting upon your return to provide a warm welcome and a safe, tranquil night’s sleep.
