Holiday Park Local Attractions |
| The
Dalston Holiday Park is situated in an area rich in
local attractions. Not only is it close to the historical
city of Carlisle, it is within an easy drive of the
Lake District National Park and the Scottish Borders. |
 |
Carlisle
is one of England's most historic cities. It is
situated within a few miles of the Scottish border
and, at one time, was the focus of many disputes
and battles. As well as the modern city, boasting
a new university, the castle and cathedral are
the centre-pieces to this attractive city. There
are many cafes and restaurants as well as the
famous Lanes shopping centre and Tullie House
Museum. |
 |
The
Lake District is a relatively small
area of some 885 square miles. A short drive from
Dalston will take you to Caldbeck in the northern
fells group. The drive to Keswick, Ullswater,
Windermere and even Wastwater is only a little
further. Historic monuments, fantastic activities
and excellent cuisine abound. The area is a mecca
for walkers and climbers of all standards. |
 |
The
Scottish Borders historically bore the
brunt of the conflicts with England, both during
declared wars such as the Wars of Scottish Independence,
and armed raids which took place in the times
of the Border Reivers. Thus, across the region
are to be seen the ruins of many castles, abbeys
and even towns. Days can be spent exploring the
villages and towns through an area of diverse
landscape. From the beaches of Galloway to the
Southern Uplands and onwards to Berwick and the
east coast there is no shortage of things to do
on day trips from Dalston. |

Dalston
Holiday Park has its own local attractions,
including a 9-hole golf course, fishing in the
river Caldew and walks throughout the parish of
Dalston.
The
golf course is adjacent to the holiday park and
under the same ownership. Holiday makers are welcome
to play and, if regular visitors, join the Caldew
Golf Club to enjoy the benefits of competition
and the excellent social atmosphere in the Club
House.
Fly
fishing can be enjoyed in the river Caldew which
flows past the Holiday Park. Fishing permists
can be purchased locally.
