THINGS TO DO....

Buttermere

Buttermere is a beautiful part of the world, and is quite a hidden gem. In the village itself there are two pubs, two café's and two lakes all within walking distance of the campsite. There are plenty of walks in Buttermere, whether its a long hike for a full day or just a small stroll down to the lake shore there is enough to keep you busy for days.

Syke Farm Tearoom

Syke Farm Tearoom is one of the two café's in Buttermere, It is located at the top of the village just below the church. Syke Farm Tearoom is well known for its vast variety of home-made cakes, pastry's and lunches as well as home-made ice cream which is made from our own Buttermere Ayrshire Cows.

Packed Lunches
