West View Caravan Park sits on a quiet country farm in Gatebeck, near Kendal, Cumbria, with panoramic views over the Lakeland Hills, Morecambe Bay and Grange-over-Sands. It's a small, family-run park with well-maintained grounds and a private fishing pond opposite that attracts plenty of wildlife. A holiday caravan and a six-berth lodge are available to rent, both well-equipped with modern comforts and outdoor seating areas to enjoy the views. The park offers a long season from March to January and is just a five-minute drive from Junction 36 of the M6, with Kendal and Kirkby Lonsdale both around five miles away. Nearby attractions include Heron Corn Mill and the Museum of Lakeland Life & Industry, making it a well-placed base for exploring the Lakes and Yorkshire Dales.
