- Description
- Wild Rose is a friendly five star family park in the heart of the beautiful Eden Valley.
Free from the frenetic pace of the popular tourist areas, Eden has much to offer the discerning visitor. Appleby-in-Westmorland (only 3 miles away), was once a fierce border stronghold is now a pretty, leisurely little town with indoor swimming pool, 18 hole golf course, bowling green, small attractive shops and quaint pubs.
From the park visit traditional farming villages, or enjoy a trip on the famous Settle - Carlisle railway. Ideal base for exploring the lake District and Yorkshire Dales, both only a short drive away.
Relax, unwind and enjoy unrivalled views across the valley to the great ridges of the Pennines as they dip down to gently flowing river.
Wild Rose is open all year. In the summer it is a haven for flowers - primrose, cowslip and orchid, with violets in the hedgerows which blossom with cascades of wild roses. Whilst during winter snow can be see on the high fells and frost in the trees sparkle.
Wildlife is actively encouraged onto the park so do not be surprised if some unusual visitors join you for breakfast. Look out for Red Squirrels, Sparrow Hawks, Spotted Woodpeckers, Buzzards, Hedgehogs and Rabbits. Take a walk along our quiet country lanes if you're lucky see wild deer, badgers and foxes.
Caravans, motorhomes and tents are all welcome. Grass and hard standing pitches available some fully serviced with their own electric, water and TV hook up points. As you would expect from a top quality 5 star park, all our facilities are maintained to an exceptionally high standard.
