Views to die for
High Boonwood Skyline
Excellent Site, ticks most of the boxes. Easy strait forward access. Pitches hard standing plenty of room and magnificent far reaching views. Bear in mind it’s a working farm. We enjoyed(in March) watching the newborn lamb gangs playing in the field. Easy walk to Gosforth (boots required), selections of pubs, cafe and restaurant, and a shop. Short drive to the fells and the Ratty (Ravenglass and Eskdale famous railway). Excellent waste disposal, toilet disposal. Serviced pitches to boot. Only down side, pitches a little sloping and the wind! (Not your fault Michael), given nothing between us and the Isle of Man. Small price for the long distance views. Definitely returning.
An excellent site with an amazing view
High Boonwood Skyline
We adored this site. The photos don't do it justice, high hedges and farm tracks suddenly open up to the most amazing elevated view of the west cumbrian coast. The site was immaculate and tidy, the huge pitches well drained and grass trimmed. Each pitch has its own tap. Mike met us and made sure we knew about the neighbourhood, a really friendly welcome, matched only by the adorable collie Nell and two tiny kittens around the farm. There is a non-exclusive toilet and sink available which is a bit old and tired but to be fair it is a farm and we don't expect toilets and showers on a CL site. Gosforth is a pretty village with an enormous amount of pubs and great beer (particularly at the Gosforth Hall) as well as a fabulous italian restaurant (Wild Olive) which needs to be booked well in advance. Its a fairly long walk in to Gosforth by road but a shorter walk across fields (although the fields had long wet grass when we visited last week). Hope you enjoy it as much as we did, the view, the peace...we will definitely be back.

Want to keep this secret
High Boonwood Skyline
Just spent a few days at this lovely site. As previous reviews have said the views are spectacular but it is also a great site with hard standing, fully serviced pitches. They looked a bit sloping but somehow we managed to get the caravan level without having to move it. Michael, the owner, came round shortly after we arrived to introduce himself. Lovely guy and always there if you need him.
The area is amazing with the charming little village of Gosforth about a mile away and lovely coastline at Seascale and Ravenglass. Inland we had some amazing scenic drives and found wonderful friendly little pubs that served a good selection of ales and some very tasty food. A visit to Wastwater is a must as is a stop at The Sawmill cafe and farm shop. Taking a little used road over to Broughton in Furness we discovered the lovely little Cake Shed. Delicious cakes and coffee, even have packaged homemade cakes to takeaway too. Didn’t really want to tell everyone about this as we mightn’t be able to get booked next time we want to visit as I’m certain we will want to return.
Breathtaking, beautiful

Perfect CL
High Boonwood Skyline
All you could want from a CL. Levelish hard standing pitches fully serviced. Wonderful views down to Seascale and the Irish Sea beyond. On a clear day you could see the IoM.
Well placed to visit the beautiful coast (St Bees Head) and the western Lake District(Cockermouth).
Owners welcoming and helpful. OS ref is a bit short of the Farm entrance.
Highly recommended.
