About us

Set within the beautiful valley of the River Lune between the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District National Park. Woodclose Park is a quiet and serene place, set within nine acres providing a unique holiday base in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Within a short walking distance from the Park you will find yourself beside the River Lune and the three ribbed medieval arches of Devil's Bridge, linked to legend in local tales. The picturesque market town of Kirkby Lonsdale is within half a mile and has a fine selection of award winning tea-rooms, restaurants and pubs. Alternatively, stock up the fridge with local produce from specialist shops within the town.

John Ruskin, penned these words some hundred years ago about the valley and these ring true to this day "...the valley of the Lune at Kirkby Lonsdale is one of the loveliest scenes in England, therefore in the world. Whatever moorland, hill and sweet river, and English forest foliage can be at their best is gathered there; and chiefly seen from the steep bank, which falls to the streamside from the upper part of the town itself. There a path leads from the churchyard, out of which Turner made his drawing of the valley, along the brow of the wooded bank to open downs beyond - I do not know in all my own country, still less in France and Italy, a place more naturally divine, or a more priceless possession...."
 

Wildlife

We continue to be awarded 5-star status and the highest conservation accolade- Gold- by the David Bellamy Conservation Awards. This award is made each year to parks which can demonstrate policies showing active concern for the environment. Assisted by local nature groups and holidaymakers themselves, David Bellamy looks at virtually every aspect of park management - from the protection of plant and animal habitats to the efficient use of energy and recycling. Helping visitors to understand conservation is also considered a qualifying feature. Come and see our wildlife corner which gives details of all the flora and fauna you might expect to see in and around the Park. We even have a swallow webcam for when our babies are in residence.
