GENERAL PARK FACILITIES

WILDLIFE . . . (AND NOT SO WILDLIFE)

The Park is home to quite a few pets. Presently there are Kune Kune pigs, miniatureMediterranean donkeys, Ouessant sheep, Indian runner ducks, goats, Shetland ponies, chickens,cats and dogs. These are viewable in early and late season at home in the barn but are out in thefields during the summer.

Over recent years we have been actively encouraging more wildlife to Castlerigg and we'repleased to report that its been a success! Thanks to all our red squirrel feeding boxes, bird boxesand bug boxes, our planting of buddleias, plus our leaving some areas unmown, the wildlife hasflourished. So you might well see wild deer, red squirrels, badgers, owls and a myriad ofbutterflies, bees and birds during your visit.

We support the David Bellamy Conservation Scheme (see www.ukparks.com) and also Lake District Foundation (www.lakedistrictfoundation.org).

With the help of our visitors we've raised over £12,000 for repairs including Bleaberry Fell footpath, Walla Crag and we pay tribute to the fantastic efforts of David Bellamy and his son Rufus who helped usset up our Butterfly Bar.

“Fresh air is Free” is a new initiative encouraging you to leave your car on site and use the local paths orpublic transport reducing your carbon footprint! (ask at reception for details).

CONSERVING THE LAKE DISTRICT . . . EVERY LITTLE HELPS

John and Betty Jackson first started to develop the land at CastleriggHall into a Caravan and Camping Park in the late 1950s.

The family had farmed here since 1938 but now the old barns andfarm buildings were put to new use as campsite facilities.

From these early beginnings their son David and his wife Jill have takenover the mantle and continue to develop the site.

CASTLERIGG . . . THE BEGINNING

Right in the heart of magnificent Lakeland countryside, Castlerigg occupies a truly superb position.

Within a 35 minute walk is the enigmatic Castlerigg Stone Circle, thought to date back some four thousand years, or take a stroll down through thewoods into the market town of Keswick 30 minutes away, home to interesting museums, theatre, cinema, shops and numerous restaurants, cafes andinns.

But of course, if you really want to see the Lake District in all its splendour, you need to don your walking boots and take to the hills, cycle some of themany cycle routes or alternatively take a ride on the boat service around Derwentwater stopping off at various points around the Lake.
