Riverside Holiday Cottages, High Bentham.
Your gateway to the Yorkshire Dales, Forest of Bowland, Lakes and and Lancashire.
Riverside Holiday Cottages are a short walk from the pretty market town of High Bentham and a short drive or cycle from Ingleton and the famous Yorkshire Three Peaks.
The area is a tranquil and unspolit part of North Yorkshire, in the Wenning Valley also known as Wenningdale.
The local market town of 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.
The town shops and pubs are within comfortable walking distance of the Cottages, there are also amenities on the adjacent Caravan Park.
Remember those golf clubs!
Bentham Golf course boasts an excellent 18 hole golf course with modern bar and catering facilities.
