Description

Hill of Oaks Lodge and Caravan Park is an idyllic lakeside retreat located on the peaceful shores of Windermere in the Lake District National Park. Awarded 5-star status by Visit England and four pennants by the AA, the park spans nearly one mile of the lake's south-eastern shore and is surrounded by ancient woodland, making it the premier destination for a step back to nature.


This is perfect for those who love everything about the flora and fauna of our fair country.  Passionate about wildlife and nature conservation, and proud supporters of the Lake District Foundation, the park's owners have taken a spectacular lakeside location and curated a tranquil and relaxing retreat for residents to immerse themselves in the best of the English countryside. The park boasts an area of managed woodlands, encouraging the growth and sustainability of animal, bird, flora and fauna species. 


The unrivalled access to the lake is the key attraction of this site, and the park showcases this well, offering residents a multitude of ways to experience this beautiful natural resource. There is a range of holiday homes for sale, some of which offer lake views. Subject to availability.


Holiday homeowners are welcome to make use of the piers and slipways. Powerboat storage facilities are available. An annual charge applies.


The café is located beside the lake and includes outdoor seating where you can watch the world go by alongside lovely views of the lake. 


Aside from all the wonderful nature provisions, holiday homeowners can make use of the on-site shop with all the usual provisions, gas exchange, playground and EV charging (charges apply).


Dogs are also very welcome in the park, with designated dog walks and off-lead areas available to residents.


Walking


Renowned for its huge variety of routes, the Lake District appeals to novice and expert ramblers alike, and Hill of Oaks is perfectly located as the starting point for many walks. From gentler walks such as Gummers Howe and Orrest Head to the more challenging routes such as the famous Scafell Pike (England's highest peak), ramblers are rewarded with stunning views at whichever level of difficulty they choose.


If you are not a seasoned mountaineer but love the idea of exploring the area around lake Windermere, then fear not, the Lake District National Park offers a plethora of guides, classes, activities and routes designed to boost confidence and help visitors to grow their outdoor skills. 


Cycling


As with the availability of walking routes, the Lake District offers something for every kind of cyclist, from short family routes to long-distance road routes and even mountain biking. There is somewhere not far from the park that will meet your needs!  With cycles for hire locally, cycling is a healthy and easily accessible way to explore the area around the park.


The area around Hill of Oaks 


Although the site is a tranquil and relaxing location in itself, it is not difficult to reach nearby towns, as it is well-served by local transport links.  The towns of Bowness-on-Windermere and Windermere are connected by bus, with many attractions to be found in these two towns.  Popular with visitors since Victorian times, Bowness-on-Windermere is overlooked by many large Victorian residences which have since been converted into hotels.


A daily ferry service runs during the main season, from where you can travel by boat along the entire lake, with docking points at Bowness, Windermere Jetty Museum, Brockhole - home of the Lake District National Park Visitor Centre - and Ambleside, a larger tourist resort on the northern edge of the lake with shops, restaurants and a cinema.


Wray Castle, a neo-Gothic structure from the 1800s, sits on the northwestern shore of the lake, only a few miles south of Ambleside and with a dedicated jetty for boat access from Brockhole or Ambleside.  Complete with turrets and towers, the castle's church-like interiors and panoramic views are a real treat for tourists.  Tours run daily through the castle, where its history can be explored further, and the grounds are worth a short walk or a picnic.


Another attraction that allows you to step back in time is the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway.  Departing from Lakeside Pier, which is not far from the park, this historic railway carries steam locomotives along the lake's eastern shore, allowing passengers to marvel at the natural beauty of Lake Windermere and the surrounding peaks.  The ideal day out at Lakeside and Haverthwaite would begin at the Station Tea Room, which serves a healthy dose of nostalgia alongside its varied, home-cooked menu, and uses local produce from local suppliers.  The tea room is open 7 days a week during the main season and serves a Winter Warmer menu for the locals during the winter months. 


Finding Hill of Oaks 


As with a lot of the Lake District, the beauty of the region lies in its remoteness, allowing visitors to get away from the city bustle to immerse themselves in peaceful landscapes and relax to the fullest. Hill of Oaks is approximately half an hour's drive, or twenty miles, from junction 36 of the M6. The nearest railway station is Windermere, approximately 6 miles away on the terminus of the Windermere Branch Line, which is in turn only a couple of stops from the nearest mainline station, Oxenholme Lake District. National Express services also run to the nearby town of Kendal.
