A caravan and camping site near Keswick is hoping to see a surge in visitor numbers after it was used as a set for a new ITV drama series.

The scenic Castlerigg Hall Caravan and Camping Park at the heart of the Lake Disctict features in Love Life, the latest drama series to hit television screens.

Filming at the site took place in November, with over 60 actors and crew members descending on Castlerigg for the shoot, which lasted around a week, the Times & Star reported.

Famous actor and comedian Alexander Armstong takes the lead role in the new show and was at the park alongside his co-star Andrea Lowe, causing much excitement among the park’s staff.

“The girls who work for us were excited that Alexander was filming here and were so pleased they got to meet him,” David Jackson, one of Castlerigg park’s partners, told the newspaper.

“I think we were chosen because the location manager had caravanned with us before and we’d also written into Cumbria Tourism’s media department to be considered as a filming location.”

Love Life, starring Alexander Armstrong, Andrew Lowe and Rob James-Collier can be seen on ITV on Thursdays at 9pm. For those of you who have missed it, catch-up episodes can be seen on the ITV Player.
