For over 70 years, our family-run park has welcomed generations of guests to enjoy the beauty of the Lake District, just as our family has nurtured and grown the park itself over five generations. Founded in 1951 by Jim Allen, Park Foot has evolved from a working farm into a vibrant, welcoming park that provides both luxury holiday homes and touring options, all while maintaining the warmth and personal touch of a family-run business. Jim’s grandparents laid the foundation with their original bed and breakfast, and today, the Allen family continues to uphold those values, ensuring Park Foot is not just a place to visit, but a place to belong. The park is managed by Jim’s daughters, Barbara and Fiona, alongside their children Coral, Joanne, Emma, and John-James, as well as Fiona and Joanne’s husbands, Malcolm and Gavin, who have all taken on key roles in shaping the park’s future. Each family member brings their own expertise, from overseeing daily operations to planning the exciting developments that make Park Foot a leading choice for those seeking long-term escapes and a sense of community. Park Foot Holiday Park offers more than just breathtaking views of Ullswater and access to some of the best walking and water sports in the Lake District. For static caravan owners, it provides a peaceful retreat and a lasting connection to this unique landscape, a place where you can return year after year, knowing you are part of the extended Park Foot family. With our deep-rooted family heritage and a shared commitment to creating the perfect escape, we invite you to make Park Foot your home away from home, where you’ll experience the same family values that have guided our park for over 70 years.

We offer a selection of beautiful Lakeland self-catering cottages. Located both on park and around the village of Pooley Bridge, they are suitable for families or couples looking for the convenience of self-catering in the Lake District.

Many regard Ullswater as the most beautiful of the English Lakes. It is a typical Lake District narrow “ribbon lake” formed after the last ice age when a glacier scooped out the valley floor. The deepened section filled with meltwater when the glacier retreated and it became a lake. The village of Pooley Bridge is at the northern extremity of the lake, just one mile from Park Foot. Its new stainless steel bridge straddles the River Eamont as it flows out of Ullswater. It is overlooked by Dunmallard Hill which was the site of an Iron Age fort. For much of its length Ullswater forms the border between the ancient counties of Cumberland and Westmorland. . The village of Glenridding, situated at the southern tip of the lake is popular with tourists of all kinds but particularly mountain walkers who use the village as a base to scale Helvellyn (England’s 3rd highest peak) amongst other challenging ascents. Ullswater’s attractions include the steamers which offer day trips around the Lake calling at Pooley Bridge, Glenridding and Howtown.
