Lantern and Larks on the Bleasdale estate is located on the western side of the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Lancaster is just 30 minutes away, while the famous Blackpool pleasure beach is a 45-minute drive. Ideal for those coming from Manchester, Liverpool and Preston; it’s a perfect choice. The site itself has direct access to the local footpaths, including a Stone Age circle just a 20-minute walk from the tents. The open access area of the Bowland Fells is just a little further away, providing hours of beautiful country walks. Alternatively, jump on your bike and explore the Fells on two wheels, or cycle to the charming village of Chipping to visit the pubs, cafes and ice cream shop! The Inn at Whitewell is an old fashioned-rural pub. Seasonal grouse from Lancashire Moor, pheasant and partridge from Dunsop shoot, Bowland beef and Lonk lamb from Burholme Farm are staples on the menu. The beautiful 16th century Browsholme Hall is also just a short drive away, with its beautiful gardens and fascinating history. Meanwhile, animal lovers won’t want to miss the Bowland Wild Boar Park or Cobble Hey Farm & Gardens – both of which offer a great opportunity to meet some four-legged friends.
