Travel Plan Barnoldswick

A travel plan for a glamping site in Salterforth, near Barnoldswick is still one of our favourite projects to date.

A gorgeous setting and excellent access to outdoor facilities make the land at the decommissioned Whitemoor Pumping Station ideal for a holiday park. Nestled within a picturesque landscape, this location offers a unique blend of natural beauty and recreational opportunities that are hard to find elsewhere. The surrounding area is rich with local stables, providing horse riding enthusiasts with the chance to explore the scenic countryside on horseback, creating an unforgettable experience for both beginners and seasoned riders alike. Moreover, the property boasts direct access to the Public Rights of Way network, which includes a variety of footpaths and trails that invite walkers and hikers to immerse themselves in the stunning scenery. The nearby bridleways further enhance the appeal for equestrians, allowing for safe and enjoyable rides through the tranquil landscapes. In addition to these amenities, the proximity to the canal presents a fantastic opportunity for leisurely walks, fishing, and even boating activities, making it a versatile destination for families and individuals seeking adventure or relaxation.

For cycling enthusiasts, the regional cycleways offer an extensive network of routes that cater to all skill levels, encouraging exploration of the surrounding areas and promoting a healthy, active lifestyle. The presence of a local sailing club nearby adds another layer of excitement for those who enjoy water sports, providing facilities for sailing, windsurfing, and other aquatic activities. This makes the land at Whitemoor Pumping Station not just a holiday park, but a vibrant hub for outdoor activities, ensuring that visitors can engage in their favorite pastimes or discover new ones during their stay.

To support the development of this holiday park, a comprehensive travel plan was provided by our transport consultants to support the application for siting a glamping facility in the area. This travel plan outlines the various transportation options available to guests, ensuring that access to the park is convenient and efficient. It takes into consideration public transport links, pedestrian pathways, and cycling routes, all designed to enhance the overall experience for visitors while minimising the environmental impact of increased traffic. To ensure that guests were able to travel by train, our consultants got together with the site owners to ensure the provision of a by request shuttle bus service to the nearest train station as well as linking the owners with nearby cycle hire providers.

The travel plan emphasises the importance of sustainable travel practices, encouraging guests to explore the natural beauty of the region while reducing their carbon footprint. All these factors combined make the Whitemoor Pumping Station site an exceptional choice for a holiday park that caters to the needs and desires of outdoor enthusiasts.
