Offering an unrivalled view across to Pendle Hill in the heart of the Trough of Bowland National Landscape, formerly AONB, Downham Camping Barn offers great value accommodation for many types of events and celebrations. It is very popular with walkers, cyclists and DofE groups, especially with parties using it as a tranquil base from which to explore this hidden corner of Lancashire over a period of days.

The barn consists of an upstairs sleeping area for approximately 12, with separate WC/wash area and sitting area, with long table and benches at ground level. Photovoltaic cells provide power for limited LED lighting (but not for phone charging) and there is a wood-burning stove with fuel available to purchase at time of booking. Outside, there is space for additional tents – the number will depend on the tent size – as well as seating, a barbeque and fire pit.

Guests need to bring their own camp beds/roll mats and cooking equipment. There is parking for approximately four cars in a layby on the immediately adjacent lane. The barn is situated approx. ¾ mile from Downham village which has a popular pub, tearoom and ice cream shop. There is public transport to the charming market town of Clitheroe and further afield.

There is a 2 night only booking policy and extra tents are charged per unit starting at £12 for a 2-man tent. Although the Barn is relatively isolated, guests are requested to respect the tranquil nature of the location with no loud music after 10pm.

Please note: Guests are required to remove all rubbish on vacating the barn.
