White Gate Caravan Park: A Tranquil Cumbrian Escape in the Eden Valley

There’s something timeless about the Eden Valley, soft green pastures, distant fells, and the gentle rhythm of rural life. Set against this peaceful backdrop lies White Gate Caravan Park, an independent, family-run haven where nature, comfort, and community blend effortlessly.

For those seeking static caravans or lodges for sale in Cumbria, White Gate offers an ideal mix of countryside calm, sustainability, and scenic charm.

A Family Park with a Conservation Heart

Set across 30 acres of natural, partially wooded pasture, White Gate has been lovingly developed by its family owners to protect and celebrate the environment.

Wildlife thrives here among wildflower meadows and tree-lined walks, with over 4,000 newly planted trees and hedgerow plants creating a true haven for nature.

The park’s dedication to sustainability has earned multiple David Bellamy Gold Conservation Awards, recognising its commitment to green energy, wildlife preservation, and thoughtful landscaping.

Owners also enjoy practical comforts, including Free WiFi, metered utilities, and an EVONE electric vehicle charging point, modern features that complement its traditional countryside feel.

Your Gateway to the Lakes and the Pennines

Few locations capture Cumbria’s natural diversity like White Gate. Nestled near Appleby-in-Westmorland, and just 10 miles from Penrith, this park sits perfectly between the Lake District National Park and the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

From here, you can reach Ullswater in around 30 minutes, explore Windermere to the south, or head north to the historic city of Carlisle.

Closer to home, the nearby village of Long Marton offers warm hospitality at The Masons Arms, serving real ales and local food, a true taste of the Cumbrian countryside.

This central location makes White Gate an excellent choice for those searching for holiday homes and static caravans for sale in Cumbria with access to every corner of the county.

A Place to Unwind and Belong

With no sub-letting, White Gate fosters a genuine sense of ownership and belonging. Friends and family are always welcome, and well-behaved pets can roam safely through the park’s open spaces and woodland trails.

The season runs from 1st March to 10th January, allowing owners to enjoy the changing beauty of the Cumbrian seasons, from spring wildflowers to frosty winter mornings overlooking the fells.

Each plot is fully metered for gas, electric, and water, and new twin-unit pitches are available with breathtaking 360° views of both the Pennines and the Lakeland Fells.

Surrounded by Scenic History

White Gate’s setting is steeped in history. From the 11th-century church of St Margaret and St James in Long Marton to Appleby Castle, home of Lady Anne Clifford, the area brims with heritage.

And for something truly special, you might even spot a steam train passing along the Settle–Carlisle Railway, which runs right beside the park, a nostalgic reminder of simpler times in this unspoiled landscape.
