The park is also only a 10-minute drive away from RSPB Leighton Moss where you are sure to catch some high-flying birds and captivating creatures. Keep your eyes out for breeding bitterns, bearded tits, deer and butterflies.

Arnside is a 30-minute stroll away from Silverdale, playing its part in Britain’s smallest area of outstanding natural beauty. Arnside Knott (522ft) dominates a rocky peninsula where the village of Arnside sits. From its past of small coasters, steamers and yachts calling there, today Arnside welcomes many visitors to enjoy its bustling seaside village made up from a multitude of independent shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants.

One of the reasons why the location of Silverdale, Kendal, Arnside and all the surrounding areas are so special is its connection to the stunning Lake District.
