Pauline Gorley
A West Cumbrian caravan park has invested in new accommodation after it was deluged with requests from holidaymakers.
Harbour Side Caravan Site, in Maryport, has introduced three new camping pods and almost tripled its number of pitches for the 2021 season.
Pauline Gorley, general manager of Maryport Harbour and Marina, which owns and operates the caravan park, said: âWe realised there was potential for more caravan and motorhome pitches, as well as the new camping pods, because we had so many enquiries from visitors who wanted to stay here.”
History being kept alive at Rose Castle
Rose Castle
History is being kept alive within the walls of a Cumbrian castle thanks to help from a specialist upholstery and design firm.
Rose Castle, near Carlisle, is nearing the end of a five-year project to renovate and restore the 800-year-old building so that it is ready to welcome visitors and guests.
Home to the Rose Castle Foundation, the castle is run as a centre for peace and reconciliation by the charity, which is dedicated to helping people struggling with conflict across the globe.
Ghyll House Upholstery and Design, based at Mealsgate, near Cockermouth, has been helping the Foundation by breathing life back into furniture which was in desperate need of renovation.
