Welcome to High Close
High Close is a beautiful holiday home park, set in some of the most stunning landscape in the Lake District, offering a tranquil and serene setting. Our park is tucked away in Park Wood, alongside a sparkling beck and is one of the Lake District’s hidden gems. We are the perfect place if you love star gazing, there is no light pollution in the area.
High Close has been under the same family ownership since 1976. Many of our holiday home owners have been here a very long time.
Homes on the park are solely for the enjoyment of the home owners and their family and friends, which keeps it a very quiet and peaceful place to visit.
Red squirrels, foxes, deer and badgers can be seen around the park and the wide array of bird life here makes it a bird watchers paradise. We pride ourselves on ensuring that the wildlife in the park continues to thrive.
Great pride is taken in our park, we strive to manage it for the mutual benefit of the holiday home user and the environment.
We have 27 acres of woodland around the park and some beautiful natural landscapes. A well maintained recreational grassed area which is fantastic for children to play on or for adults to sit and relax and enjoy the wildflowers.
