FANTASTIC CAMPERVAN PUB STOP WITH OFF GRID CAMPING PITCHES! The Fat Lamb Country Inn, Cumbria
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 окт 2021
- A fantastic overnight pub stop with off grid camping pitches & Gamelands Stone Circle, Cumbria - Solo Van Life
Location: Just outside Ravenstonedale, Cumbria.
Bri & I had looked at visiting this pub in the past so it was one that I wanted to tick off.
4 pitches, no facilities, a couple of level pitches and a couple more sloping.
£10 per night or free if you eat at the pub.
Unbeatable views especially on a day like this one. Very little traffic noise during the day and none through the night.
A great pub packed full of memorabilia from times gone by with music playing from that era, good pub grub and drink.
I enjoyed the short nature walk to the rear of the pub (map available from the bar) and happily recommend this one. I hope to return too some time.
At Gamelands Stone Circle it was good to finally get my drone back in the air!

Hi Sue we watched your video of the Fat Lamb Inn and got a surprise near the end . It was our Camper next to yours but sorry we didnt get to meet you as you had left before we were up and about ! Was a cold night that one ! Happy Camping - Billy and Astrid .
Oh this is brilliant to read haha! Yes I left before there was any movement from your van. I should have hung around a little longer it would have been lovely to meet you. I loved your van! Thanks for commenting and happy camping to you too. ATB, Sue 😁👍
What a lovely post!
Great video as always …good for you having your evening meal on your own for the first time . It must be so hard I can’t imagine how hard . 👏💖

Lovely stopover. I will use it when I’m visiting my son in Shropshire. Cheers Sue🍷👍
It’s a gorgeous little place I’m sure you’ll like it 🍻 👍🏻
Well done for taking advantage of some good weather and getting out in Vanya. The scenery was beautiful and even better with blue skies. That pub stop looked great too. Thanks for taking the trouble to photograph your day out and for sharing it with us. All the best Carol & Ken ❤️🚐😀xx
Thanks Carol & Ken, I watched the forecast for the week and fortunately decided on the right day! It was a beautiful pub, camping spot and surrounding area. I think it would be stunning in winter too. Thanks both, take care, Sue xx ❤️👍
Thank you for sharing 😊 must look at this place 😊
Based on my own experience, I’ve no hesitation recommending it. Hope you get to visit it 😊
@@CamperVanya thank you 👍 I looked on Google maps and screenshot 👍
Lovin the drone shots of the stone circle, absolutely awesome 😎
Great little trip, fab vlog 💜
Cheers for that it was a great day out 👍
Another fantastic adventure with the van, Sue! Loved the aerial views of the Stone Circle. We really enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the way. Awesome little Pub and wonderful stopover. Thanks for taking us along - have a wonderful week. -Jody
Thanks for coming along Jody. This was such a relaxing day/night in beautiful surroundings. Good for the soul. Glad you enjoyed it! Take care, Sue x
Hi Sue, beautiful new video, weather looked so lovely and the sites you visited along your route looked very nice. Loved the Stone circles. 😉😊
Hi there, it was a great day from start to finish. Really enjoyed it. Stone Circles are always a bit special aren’t they! Thanks for your comment. ATB Sue
Hi Sue! What a fantastic place. Added to my growing list👍😁 Really nice pub, and the food looked spot on! All the best & take care👍
I’m sure you’d love it. Plenty of walking around there too 👍🏻😊
Hi Sue. Great to see you are out and about again! The drone footage was a really interesting way to see the stone circle. The pub stopover looked brilliant - it has gone into our book for future trips! Garry & Caroline
Hi both, definitely well worth a visit. Sure you’ll enjoy it 👍🏻😊
Bless you, Sue, another fabulous video, and a venue for the list. I love your expression, "midge''s wink", brilliant. Take care xx
This was a really lovely little spot. Give it a try if you get the chance 😁👍🏻 x
Looks fabulous
It really was a gem of a find 👍🏻
Afternoon Sue, 👋pleased to see the drone up and working again,👍lovely footage of the stone circle 😍 looked a lovely place to stop stunning 360 views, great weather too 💖
Lovely wild walk, cute new friend you made there 🐶
Another first,💖 cheers to Bri 🍺

🍂CMW🚶🚶🚶
Hi CMW I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was certainly a little gem of a find in every way. Big thanks for the "cheers to Bri" 🍻👍, appreciated. Take care, Sue x
Sue, your vlogs are so tranquil and relaxing. I did laugh though as you conversed with your sat nav 😜 Slaw was very impressed with your drone track me! The pub looks a great stopover. Thanks for sharing. Much love, Mrs Slaw xx
Hello Mrs Slaw! I'm glad you enjoy the vlogs, not quite as beautiful as your own (which I love) but I'm enjoying learning! The drone too is another learning curve. It's a fab pub stopover and the weather helped. Thanks for watching. ATB to you both, Sue xx
A glorious day Sue. Beautiful scenery. Lovely pub. The food looked fabulous xx
An absolute gem of a find, and again it was great weather 😎 xx
That’s a nice little stop at the pub for 10 or free with a great view especially as you were blessed with the weather. Beautiful walk ….stay safe and thanks for creating and sharing
Hi, hope you’re both well. It really was excellent value (rare at the moment) considering the location and walk too 👍
Hi Sue, wondered about doing the pub thing on my own but you’ve inspired me to give it a try. Lovely place and great video xx
Hi Ann, thanks. Go for it. Get it out of the way! 💪 👍🏻 xx
van life is my dream life style, Big like, you have new subscribe from Melbourne now👍💗💗
Hello Melbourne 👋 and thank you! It would definitely also be my dream to live it full time if circumstances ever allow.
That was a nice surprise. I wasn’t expecting another video for a while after your Scotland trip. That was a beautiful day, I’m wondering how I managed to miss it! A great video as always. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Sylvia, and thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it. I try to get out weekly, year round, whatever the weather 😊 x
Hi Sue, another great video! I loved the drone shots over the Stone Circle and fabulous walk.
I must admit its nice to hear that I’m not the only one that talks to myself…Haha. Take care xox
Hi Sandra and thanks. Haha, no you’re not alone there, I’ll talk to anyone or anything 😂👍 x
Nice video, the drone really helped in seeing the stone circle
Hi Ian, glad you liked it. I agree, the drone was the best way to see the circle 👍
Wow, great footage! The region is really beautiful! That would be a nice destination for a relaxing weekend! 😍❤️👍
It really is a beautiful location worth visiting 👍😊
Oh wow! I'm a bit of a stone circle worrier, but have never heard of this! Looks good! Love the drone footage! And the scenery! That's my kind of little site with views all around.
You should try this one if you ever get a chance. A great little find. I bet its beautiful in winter too.
Eee, Sue that was a real cow pie you had there. Eating on your own will get easier with practice. Thanks for the vid.
Thanks Jenny, I’m sure it will in time 👍 x
What a great place to stay Sue….. definitely worth a visit. Looks like you had a great day. And good to see the drone back in action….great footage!
Thanks Mo, it was lovely to fly the drone again. I think you'd like the pub. They do accommodation too if you and Lee every fancy a cheeky break away somewhere not too far! xx
Sometimes when the sun is shining, you just have to get out there and make the most of it! Those stone circles and surroundings looked stunning! A beautiful drive to the pub in glorious sunshine, funny enough we were on the Isle of Arran at about the same time but we had a more mixed bag of weather! Thanks for sharing, regards, Simon and Elaine 👍💕
Hi both, thanks for watching and commenting. I saw that it was forecast to be a lovely day so just had to get out in the van. It was definitely the right choice of location too 👍
Amazing video as always! Countryside looks so gorgeous. Thank you for tagging us along 🥰
You're welcome. Thanks for coming along 👍
Hi Sue, your drone footage of the stone circle is excellent, will definitely put that one on the list to visit. Sally.
Hi Sally thanks for your kind comment. I put a lot of work into editing that drone part so I’m glad you enjoyed it. Hope you get to visit, it’s worth it. Take care, Sue x
Lovely weather. Great place to stop although I think our van would have less than a “midges wing” left. I think the midge would have ended up with a black mirror casing for a home 😊 ATB. Paul, Fran & the Minions
Hi, thanks for watching and commenting. Yes, your van would definitely need to take a different route! ATB to you all, Sue 😊
Well done on your first solo meal. Very touching.
Thanks. It's weird looking back at this one now, I can see a lot of progress since then where eating alone is concerned 🙂
Hullo, I've just been introduced to your channel by Ken and Carol in the Little Red Camper. I have just recently been widowed, and they recommended I watch your channel, I'm battling a bit. I like your van, mine is very big, as we had it for so many years, and travelled together with our three teenage children, until they had enough. My husband and moved permanently into the van, but shortly after he was taken after a year and a half of fighting, everything out of the book that was thrown at him. I'm alone, it's an expensive van to run alone on my pension, I know I should sell it and buy something a lot more affordable, but until I feel I can let go I, hanging onto it. To make it worse, he passed away right here where I'm sitting writing to you. Difficult. I live in Denmark. You look as though you are doing well, I hope I can reach that stage.as you say, it's the lovely places that you miss him most, I just have this enormous hole in my chest. Empty. It is only 7 months ago now,
Hello Marion 👋. I’m so very sorry to hear of your devastating loss and struggle. From my own experience, 7 months felt like no time at all and things were still extremely difficult then.
I’m glad you’ve reached out. If there’s any way at all that I can help/reassure you as you navigate this godawful life event and walk your own grief path I will happily do so. You’re not alone. We’re all so different but there are many commonalities and I can relate to all that you’re saying you’re feeling right now.
I am just a couple of weeks away from being 4 years without my husband and have learnt so much and grown immensely in that time and yes I’m doing well now. Feeling more like my old self finally. You will get there too, believe me. If you want to ‘chat’, as someone who’s been where you are, please feel free to email me - my email address is in the ‘About’ section of my channel. It’s easier than by this comment. I might not reply immediately but I promise I will reply.
Take good care and remember it’s true that things will get better 🙏🏻
Ps I started watching Ken & Carol when I was still very low, they reminded me a lot of me and my late husband. They then helped me to get my channel seen by their viewers and have been really supportive. They’re lovely.
@@CamperVanya yes they remind me of my husband and I as well. I still have difficulty watching their happy blogs, and I find music triggers me. Thank you so much for replying to me, I truly appreciate it.
what a lovely stopover ! that view from van was amazing, drone shots were brilliant, been to the lakes lots of times , i think the sun was shining one of those times , i was 4 😂😂
thanks for sharing 👍😀
Thanks very much, I worked hard on those drone shots in editing! I also got sunshine in the lakes once, a bit more recently than you though 😂. Couldn’t believe this location, it’s a real gem. Thanks for watching, ATB, Sue.
What a lovely pub stop over. Liked the look of the pub itself too. Nice drone footage of the stone circles as well. You picked a cracking day for your trip. It’s been hard to find many sunny days of late 🤣. Safe travels Sue 😊🧙♂️xx
The pub was great, like stepping back in time and full of memorabilia. This was the one sunny day in a week of rain. Must be time for another trip soon ...! Take care, Sue xx
Not heard of this stone circle Sue so thanks for showing it. We enjoy visiting circles when we can so it is added to the growing list. x
Hiya, you're welcome, thanks for watching! Stones Circles are fascinating aren't they and there's no shortage of them. Take care, Sue x
Lovely, lovely vlog Sue. Karl wants to go to the pub lol. We were thinking of the Stone Circle on the way home anyway as spotted it on Google Earth, so going to look the pub up. Really enjoyable.😊
Oh thanks I’m glad you liked it because I had a lovely time there. I hope you do get to the circle (the stones have fallen but still looks good from the air!) and the pub it’s like stepping back in time in there, and enjoy it as much as I did 👍🏻😊
@@CamperVanya thanks Sue. Hopefully we will get to go and enjoy it as much as you did. And hopefully the skies will be blue. Don't know how much more rain we can take. Back in the Mids next weekend so our trip is nearly over.
@@roaminginraymond Yes the weather’s been absolute pants lately hasn’t it. This place would be great in winter, with a frost and a clear sky 👍. Safe journey back.
What a lovely relaxing video! 🙂
Looks like a nice overnight stop! Might give that one a try one day!
Take care
Ju
Xx
Hi Ju, you should try it I think you’d love it. There’s lots of walking to be done in the area. It’s just beautiful. ATB to you both xx
Nice vlog and pure country side experiences. Great to see you put the drone up and managed to capture some nice quick shots. Aerial prospective always shows how amazing the nature is! It is good to see some sunshine here as we just experienced some bad weather in Skye, however last few days were Ok. Back to busy life again but it's always nice to watch your cosy vlogs. Have a good one 👍😇
Cheers, it was a perfect day. Glad you managed at least some sunshine on Skye. It's good to have the drone back, I'm looking forward to getting lots more practise in. Hope you don't have to wait too long to get back out n about! 👍
Another lovely relaxing video. 👍.
Hi Stuart. Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊👍
Nice park up and the pub looked amazing, thanks for sharing
Yeah it was. Glad I chose it on such a beautiful day, definitely saw it at its best. Thanks for watching 👍
What a gorgeous place to stop, surrounded by the British Countryside in all it's glory in the Autumn :) I think braving a pub on your own is one of the hardest things to do, so well done you. This was just what I needed to see before heading off to work.
I love Autumn too. The pub thing was weird but manageable and the food distracted me once it arrived! Thanks for watching, hope work goes well! 👍🏻 x
Thanks for sharing!
The steak pie n chips looked gorgeous 😊.
It's on our bucket list.
Thanks for watching and commenting. This was a great little find. I hope you try it and enjoy it as much as I did 👍🏻
You made a great impression on that sheep Sue.
I did didn’t I. Thankfully I don’t have the same effect on humans … usually 😂
@@CamperVanya LOL
Great video and lovely drone shots! We love heading off on a long walk but quite often wonder if we should be there like you did! The Fat Lamb is now on our list. Thanks for sharing:)
Hi, and thank you! This was a fantastic stop on such a great day. I was a little uncertain when I first saw the farmer but was made to feel very welcome by both him and his beautiful dog. Thanks for leaving a comment 👍🏻
Amazing stopover tip. I'll be sure to stay there on my next trip to Scotland.
It was a great little find Chris. Sure you’ll like it 👍🏻
Another great video! Thank you lovely lady, great ideas for my own solo trips !!
You are very welcome! Do you have a camper too? I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. ATB, Sue x
@@CamperVanya I'm currently looking to buy one, there are so many options. I have lists of destinations, campsites, stopovers etc. Therefore videos like yours are so great at educating this novice 😊 Bev x
@@bevfowler1973 That’s great to know. Good luck in your search 🚐👍🏻
Another great video of a lovely location , if you haven't already done so you need to check out long meg and her sisters stone circle a little further up the road near Penrith it's an amazing place !😀
I think I’ve heard of that but haven’t visited it yet so thanks for the recommendation 👍🏻
Looks a great stopover, the automobilia appeals to me though the menu is one of those that has me going off our health journey. Probably the reason we limit pub stops as I have no willpower ha ha. Great video footage as always. Chris
Hi Chris, thanks. I know what you mean, I’ve been on a healthy eating plan lately so this was a naughty meal for me too, but I thought well nobody need know, I’ll just stick it on RUclips 🤣
What a beautiful area you picked again, another lovely vlog and another place for the list x
Thanks Jayne! One Bri and I had always fancied trying so I went to tick it off the list. It was an even nicer time and day than I expected. Loved it. Hope you get there sometime x
Hi just subscribed to your channel. Really enjoying your videos. Hey well done for the pub meal. So jealous of your van. I have been wanting to do a van up and just live the simple life. Watching you is inspiring me to get on with it. X
Hi Jane thanks for subscribing and Im glad
the videos are inspiring you. Hope you get your van rolling soon too it’s just the best thing! 😊 x
Love drone footage sue@music,hope you have a lovely weekend and no rain,were i am hasnt stoped lol debs xx.
Cheers Debs, this was the one day lately that the sun shone! Rain since then but it wont stop me getting out. Have a lovely weekend too xx
@@CamperVanya ditto,to be honest this my fav time of year,most tourists gone home,alot rain=0 people.happy friday debs xx
Hi Sue, loving your videos very informative about the places you visit and great to see you getting out there and enjoying life. I’ve recently found myself in the same situation as you are and definitely know how hard it is. I look forward to seeing more adventures from you. Take care. Ernie
Hi Ernie, thanks for watching and commenting. I'm really sorry you're in the same boat, and facing similar challenges. I've subscribed back and look forward to following your journeys too. Take care and ATB, Sue
@@CamperVanya Hi Sue, Thank you for subscribing, I have a lot to learn on the videos and try to be a bit more upbeat. I’m without a van at the moment but I do pick up my new Camper in December. Take care and best wishes. Ernie
Just found your channel, good video will be following you in future
Hi Suzy, I’m glad you found it and enjoyed the video! Thanks so much for following, much appreciated. ATB, Sue 😊
A great stop over Sue, well done confronting the pub dining. know that area well but never been in that pub will have to do a night ,thanks for the info.
Hiya, thanks for your comment. The pub itself is lovely & packed full of memorabilia. Add to that the well kept pitches with stunning views and it was one of the more impressive pub stops I’ve encountered. Hope you get to try it 👍
Great stuff Sue, just watched, its a great area up there. Eden valley etc. Not been in fat lamb for a few years. Grub looks good👍🍻
Gorgeous area isn’t it. I knew it was close to where you last were. The Fat Lamb seems very popular and it was so cheap to stay - just £10 or free if you eat 🍻👍
@@CamperVanya Reckon we might give it a try for a night sometime. We've planned a few pub stoo overs over November and December.
What a lovely day Sue, would have been rude not to use it! Stunning scenery, thank you for showing us round, and I take my hat off to you for getting past that big fat hurdle - eating alone in a pub. I haven’t managed it yet but I will when I get my van or I’ll miss out on too many great pub meals. How do you find these stops?
Hi Jane, yes it was a pretty joyless experience but the food tasted good(!) and it’s another first out of the way. Bri & I used to keep notes of places we’d like to try and this was one we fancied. I also use BritStops sometimes, internet mooching, word of mouth, etc. Take care, Sue x
@@CamperVanya I know how hard it must have been, and for what it’s worth you are helping me to get there too, so well done. Took so much for granted for so long, but having a van is essential I think to carrying on. I don’t feel alone at home and I won’t in my van, which will be home on wheels. It’s just the social stuff like eating out that hits the nerve. Keep on keeping on Sue x
Hey you got a drone brilliant , you have obviously taken to it straight away. Is it a DJI drone ? Nice video thanks.
Hiya, yes I’ve had a drone for a while now but haven’t used it for a while following a tree incident … it’s a mini 2 and I love it. Glad you enjoyed the vid. Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
@@CamperVanya of course I remember now and the fav nephew who recovered it . I have a Air 2 but thinking of getting a mini 2 to take to Europe with us .
Nice video. Thanks for sharing Sue. I must get a drone one day. Great views. What camera do you use for vlogging apart from the drone. Gave my thumbs up as usual. Stay safe. X
Cheers for that, appreciated. I love the drone and am just getting back into it since its altercation with a tree a while back(!). I’m also using a GoPro 9. ATB 😊👍
Ian, addition to previous reply, I’m using GoPro9 but not without issues. It’s started to have moments of inexplicable ‘freezing’ where you need to remove the battery to reboot. That’s easier said than done when you have it in the media mod, a mic, or gimbal attached - or worse, all 3! I know you’re good on your research so I suggest taking a look at DJI’s cameras - the Osmo Pocket, Osmo action, and whatever else they do because that’s what I’d do if I was searching again and if I decided to change in the future 👍
@@CamperVanya I already have the go pro 9 and media mod and wireless microphone. I haven’t experienced the freezing yet but my camera does overheat and shut down from time to time. I do tend to waffle on a bit though so it’s probably had enough. I have a question for you though Sue if you don’t mind.
@@TravellingfromScratch Oh good, I didn’t want you buying it on my recommendation when I’ve developed serious reservations! Ask away!
@@CamperVanya Do you have a gas or diesel heater in your van?
That's a great stop over, lovely views. Take care 👍 Graeme
Cheers Graeme, I couldn’t fault that place 👍
Is it near Sedburg Sue.
Hi T&P, yes it’s about 10 miles away 👍
👍🚐
This was such a gem of a pub stop 😊👍🏻
Lovely video Sue. Great pub and food... and what lovely views..!! Thanks for sharing 😊
It’s a great little pub and park up if you’re in that area Gaz 👍🏻
Beautiful day, beautiful countryside. Lovely film. Well done for braving the pub on your own.
Thanks, I’m glad you liked it. Another ‘first’ overcome 👍
