The Location

Crofton Hall Caravan Park is a Caravan Club CL site located within the two-acre Victorian walled garden of the Crofton Hall Estate, a picturesque, sheltered and quiet location around eight miles South-West of the City of Carlisle. Whilst Crofton Hall itself no longer stands, the rest of the estate bears testimony to the history that unfolded here.

The site itself has been developed with a view to preserving the history of the Crofton Hall Estate, which can be traced back to the twelfth century, eventually becoming the seat of the Brisco family, until the 1930’s. 

The CL Site

The site features five spacious pitches, each screened from the next by fencing and hedges. The site is surrounded on North, East and West sides by the original garden walls and on the south side by a screen of mixed pine trees. Each pitch has its own drinking water supply and power hook-up and on the North edge of the site is a south-facing, semi-enclosed recreation area for picnics and barbecues, that may be enjoyed whatever the weather! A noticeboard in this area shows some local information and menus.

Facilities

Adjacent to the site to the North is the Stable Block, which dates back to the 1850’s and features a beautiful grade II listed Georgian facade, within which there is a family bathroom, which provides two toilet cubicles, two sinks with electric razor points and a shower room with four shower cubicles, each with an electric shower. (Note for disabled customers: The shortest route to the bathroom requires the use of steps (as shown in the right-hand picture above). For those who use a mobility scooter, access is possible via the main site entrance, although it is further). The bathroom is around 250ft (75m) from the site itself, via the steps in the building shown above right.

Near the Site

To the East of the site is a large coarse-fishing lake, managed by the Carlisle and District Angling Club. See the “Crofton Hall Estate” page for more details.

Thornby Moor DairyIn the former estate dairy buildings, the Thornby Moor Dairy is housed, started in 1979 by Carolyn Fairbairn. Local shorthorn cows provide milk for unpasteurized cheese. Goats' cheese is another of their products, which visitors can purchase in the shop after viewing the cheese being made.

We are also able to offer CaSSOA Gold Accredited Secure Indoor caravan storage just ½ mile away from the site. Please contact us for more details or see our website at http://www.croftonstorage.co.uk/
