Welcome to Calder Farm Campsite

Calder Farm is a small family run campsite located in the beautiful village of Bolton by Bowland in the heart of the Ribble Valley.

Set in over an acre of land all pitches have fantastic views of Pendle Hill and the Ribble Valley.

With 12 hard standing pitches, additional grass areas and a fully furnished, ensuite camping pod we cater for all campers.

Stay in our new camping pod and even bring your horse for the holiday!

Summer 2018 saw the arrival of our first camping pod, Acorns.

Relax outside on the patio on a sunny day or warm up after a winters walk in our heated pod and enjoy the beautiful views of the Ribble Valley.

For owners of horses we can also offer stables, grazing and an arena, with the Penine bridleway only a 30 minute ride away.

TRIPS OUT

Settle to Carlisle Railway

"72 miles of scenic splendour"!

The Settle to Carlisle Railway is one of the most scenic and impressive railways in the UK, with viaducts, tunnels and the wild scenery of the North Pennines, Eden Valley and Yorkshire Dales. Although regular trains frequent the line it adds considerably to the experience to do the journey aboard a steam train. For this it is advisable to book tickets ahead as it's very popular indeed!

Gordale

Gordale is a limestone gorge about 1 mile away from Malham. With sides over 100m tall it is a dramatic sight. Walking up the gorge requires a short scramble of about 10 metres up the waterfall, which is not advisable in winter but perfectly possible for competent walkers in the summer months.

A circular walk is possible from Malham via Janet's Foss, a pretty waterfall further downstream from Gordale, then through Gordale itself before heading over to the limestone pavement at the top of Malham Cove. From there you can descend the steps down Malham cove and back into Malham.
