Welcome to Park Foot Holiday Park

At Park Foot Holiday Park, we believe in creating more than just a holiday destination — we offer a place to call your second home.

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.

Welcome to the Allen family’s Park Foot.
