Melmerby Mill Caravan Park lies just outside the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and 1 mile from the pretty rural village of Melmerby on the A686 Penrith to Alston road. We are just 15 minutes (8 miles) from Penrith, gateway to the North Lakes of the Lake District National Park, and Junction 40 of the M6. 

The A686 Penrith – Alston road that goes through Melmerby has been voted one of the top ten scenic routes in the world as it passes over the Pennines from Northumberland into Cumbria. Melmerby is also the home of the renowned Village Bakery.
