Working in partnership with Cumbria Tourism we have identified some locations for overnight stays.
We would like visitors to experience some of the beautiful places Barrow and the surrounding areas have to offer. From Furness Abbey, a historic English Heritage site on the outskirts of Barrow, to the award winning Nature reserves, this Victorian town steeped with industrial history, has something to offer campervan enthusiasts.
The spaces available in Barrow will be at Furness Abbey, Barrow Park, Bigger Bank North and Bigger Bank South.

The limited spaces are free and on a first come first served basis. If the space of your first choice location are full, you will need to try alternative sites. The parking bays will be signposted and have a QR code for easy booking.
Users must vacate the site by 12 noon the following day.
Users of the sites must read and agree with the Code of Conduct and then book daily via the link
 
There are three car parks in the Lake district where they are trialling "Stay the night". They are not advertising this as they don't want to be inundated! NT rangers in the Cumbria have more details. My unreliable information also gives Dungeon Ghyll National Trust Carpark as another of the places in the trial.
 
Are these placesnon the poi map?
If not is there a map anywhere that has them?
We are not venturing far this year but next summer they could come in very handy...
btw have no idea how to access anything on facebook.

Hopefully by next year things will be clearer and many more NT sites will be allowing overnight parking, so by the time you are venturing out there should be more info available. Don't hold your breath though.

Thats really positive though i may wait till back end of year to try as i would imagine this will be oversubcribed whilst the kids on holiday.
 
So this is how you encourage overnight stays but endure your carpark is clear of MH through the day if I read it correctly, if you overhang 2 bays during the day you pay parking for both bays but at night you only pay £10 that covers 2 bays.

Just seen this in another group - apparently this was spotted at Aira Force Penrith, Lake District. Good move by the National Trust 👍View attachment 101000
Just read this post again and was struck by the rather begrudging wording on the sign. It could have read "Why not stay the night in this lovely location. Only £10pn." or some such, but, no, it's "We'd better do something about these blasted motorhomes ruining the local environment and because we've been lobbied mercilessly by our members"

Still, grateful for small concessions. I just hope the feral few don't spoil it.

(Sorry for the grumpy post. Had a dodgy curry at the weekend and now reaping the rewards)

Hi, Thank you for the update- appreciated. Just checked Barrow Park and it has the following on it's web sit https://www.barrowbc.gov.uk/visitor...Vaw3S2rr3gWevVwgFryFZWMU1&cshid=1629262861635
The park gates are locked: April 1st to October 31st - 9.00pm until 7.30am
November 1st until 31st March - 7.00pm until 7.30am
Is this the same place shown in the picture?

The positive versus negative posts about overnighting decisions taken by authority/organisation/business just suddenly seemed to have evened out over the last week or so on the forum :)

We would have no interest in that museum but if reasonably priced would consider to buy a ticket and support them

I have no idea maybe they have not updated their website since making the decision to allow overnight parking this is the other sign now on the car parks mentioned
