Location Crake Valley Park is a wonderful, quiet, park on 'approx' 16 acres of woodland close to Coniston Water. Coniston is the 3rd largest lake in the Lake District with 3 small Islands owned by The National Trust. Famed for being the setting of Arthur Ransome's book 'Swallows and Amazons' and the resting place of Donald Campbell and his recently restored 'Bluebird'. Lake Bank jetty is located down a footpath in the far right hand corner of the field directly opposite the drive where the Steam Gondola stops. The lake offers something for everyone - the more adventurous, boating, paddle boarding etc and others that just seek the serenity of the shore.

The hamlet of Water Yeat is picturesque and conveniently placed 15 minutes from Coniston Village and approximately 20 minutes from the market town of Ulverston and approx 30 minutes from the Lake District Town of Bowness-on-Windermere. Local attractions close to the Crake Valley Holiday Park include Grizedale Forest, Haverthwaite Stream Railway, Coniston Village with a range of shops, Public Houses and Boating Centre, Ravenglass Railway and of course all the attractions of the Inner Lake District are right on hand.
