Butterflowers Holiday Park sits on the edge of the small fishing village of Haverigg, with the Duddon Estuary on one side and the Lake District fells a short drive inland. Birdwatchers are drawn here for the breeding terns, waders and migrating birds that frequent the shoreline and nearby RSPB Hodbarrow Nature Reserve, complete with its lagoon and walking trails.

Day to day, you’ve got Haverigg’s cafés and pubs on your doorstep for local meals, coffee stops and an easy village atmosphere. A short drive takes you into Millom for supermarkets, independent shops, places to eat and a local museum, in a town known for its iron-industry heritage and 20th-century poetry connections. Road links from Millom open up the wider Cumbrian coast and the Lake District, making Butterflowers Holiday Park a practical base as well as a scenic one.
