Park Cliffe Named Best Holiday Park in the Lake District 2025
Park Cliffe Holiday Park, near the shores of Windermere, has been officially named the Best Holiday Park in the Lake District 2025 after winning the Camping, Glamping & Holiday Park of the Year title at the prestigious Cumbria Tourism Awards.
The family-owned park was praised by judges for its customer service, quality accommodation, and commitment to sustainability – earning it a place among the region’s leading holiday destinations.

A Family-Run Holiday Park in the Heart of the Lakes

- Holiday homes to rent or buy
