We recently had a holiday at this site, as already mentioned it has lovely views both ways, we enjoyed watching the lambs and sheep in the field next to the caravan also the geese on the pond, which you cannot walk round. We used our own facilities but the ones on... Show more

Awe-inspiring Askew Rigg Farm

First time at Askew Rigg, WOW! A lovely warm welcome from Alan. The location of this site is just breath taking, with stunning views of Blencathra and surrounding mountains. There is a small pond at the rear of the CL which attracts a variety of wildlfe and a pretty babbling... Show more

Wet and windy Askew Rigg

Just spent 4 nights at this wonderful escape. Hard standing gravel pitch proved essential as its been so wet for so long the grass is more like pond with grass growing from it! When you can get your unit right to the edge of the pitch there is room... Show more

Great site in the wet.

We have just spent 8 nights on this site during a wet week. However, the hard standings are a blessing, and this is backed up by the visits to the well located bins behind each pitch which was extremely wet under foot and show the site would have ripped up... Show more

First time on a CL, WOW picked a great one.

Just one night in glorious weather and it couldn’t have been better. Spoke to Alan on the phone to book for the next day, he’s really welcoming. Wow what views, amazing. Pretty level pitches, I did use levelling blocks on ours, own bin, plenty of space between... Show more

Awesome Askew

We have previously stayed at the South of the lakes, so decided to head towards the North end and Keswick. Wow this site is beautifully tranquil, with great views to Blencathra and down into the valley. The site is easily accessible off the A 66. The site itself is well... Show more

A good stay at Askew Rigg

9 nights at Askew Rigg in October. There was a lot of weather! Pitches in a row facing a lovely view of Blencathra, well spaced. All hardstanding. The farm access track is in front of the pitches but traffic on it was extremely light - not a problem at all. We... Show more

Great site, easy access and fantastic views

Very easy to find, about 100m off the A66 and turn right. Yes there is a little road noise from the A66 but only very slight in the day, the site/farm is protected by some trees. The view from the pitches are great and the pond at the back of... Show more

Great scenery but….

Managed to find the site quite easily but surprised you could still hear the main road with a constant buzz. Needless to say the scenery is amazing. Hardstandings but slightly sloping. The toilet and shower are really basic so decided against using them! Each pitch has a bin but ours... Show more
