Woodside Caravan Park is an ideal base from which to explore the Lake District and the Scottish Borders.

Greystoke: Greystoke is a quiet village which still has its small central greens, ancient market cross and many listed buildings, including the castle (right) and the ancient church of Saint Andrew where an art and craft exhibition is held 2 or 3 times a year serving home made lunches and teas. The village is also home to the famous G.W. Richards’ racing stables, now run by his son Nicky. (Right: Greystoke Castle)
