| Situated on the Gateway
to the Dales, Lakes and Forest Of Bowland.
Riverside Cottages are located in the small market
town of High Bentham.
High Bentham used to be in the West Riding and
is now in North Yorkshire, although the postal
address is and always has been 'Lancaster', the
nearest towns are in Cumbria and North Yorkshire.
Relax. Enjoy. Experience fresh air and
nature.
High Bentham is exceptionally fortunate in the
diversity of it's scenery. The River Wenning,
a tributary of the Lune, meanders pleasantly from
the South of Clapham alongside both High and Low
Bentham. Walks from Riverside Caravan Park &
Cottages, on either bank, through rich meadow
and pastureland give a feeling of serenity and
peace, so rare in these difficult, busy days.
In contrast, less than 30 minutes walk, or 5
minutes in the car brings one to the fell gate
and to 'Big Stone' with it's breathtaking views
of moors and mountains, extending from Bowland
to the far Lakeland hills.
When the quiet evening falls, an unforgettable
experience is the glorious vision of the sun setting
over Morecambe Bay.
