Where is the best place to Stop on the way to Scotland?
The drive to Scotland can be incredibly tiring, so why not split up the journey with a stop over in The Lakes? The Lake District is perfectly placed to give the driver a well-earned break and the boundless countryside is great for letting younger members of the family (and your four-legged friend) burn off some steam!
Skelwith Fold Caravan Park is located in the heart of the Lake District, just a short detour from the M6 – the main route into Scotland. From our award-winning touring and motorhome park you can reach Glasgow and Edinburgh in 3 hours or Aberdeen and the majestic Highlands in 6 hours.
Our holiday park in Ambleside is surrounded by magical woodland and picture perfect views of the surrounding fells. Take a break from the stress of driving and relax in our fantastic grounds. If you’re lucky, you may even see some of our local wildlife, including badgers, roe deer and red squirrels during your stay!
