Have a look at the CC site at Kelder Water. Fantastic canoeing area and, I understand, free access to the loch.

In Cumbria you have got several caravan club sites at or close to water sides :-

Low Manesty, in borrowdale edge of Derwent water

Braithwaite Fold, Bowness edge of Windermeer

Park Coppice, Coniston edge of Coniston water

Troutbeck head 2mls from Ulswater

Dockwray Meadow 3mls from Enerdale water

there are also numerous cl sites within easy reach of all the waters and meers.

If you havent allready I suggest you join the caravan club you wont regret it

barneys babbling brook is a fine waterway, not very deep, but very cold and refreshing

barneys is indeed a fine water way but you need to be careful on the edge

How did the brook get its name Mark, and is it any good for canoeing

 

[BarneyCumbria]

i believe the story is many years old now and goes something like this, a drunken man from millom, called barney, was stood by the babbling brook late one night, when a local ghost by the name of "tacker" crept up behind him and (as we say here in cumbria)up the willies up him. the poor drunken millom man was so scared the next thing he realised was he was laying on his back in the babbling brook some distance from the bank, locals in the area now avoid the brook as it is haunted by "tacker the lord of munsterlund" and thats the story
